Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Oil

Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Oil is a light, dry-finish oil cold-pressed from the kernels of the oat grain, rich in linoleic acid (omega-6) and oleic acid, with notable levels of avenanthramides — unique polyphenolic compounds found almost exclusively in oats that contribute anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. Its high linoleic acid content makes it particularly well-suited for sensitive, dry, or compromised skin, as it helps reinforce the skin barrier and reduce transepidermal water loss. Formulators favor it for its non-greasy, fast-absorbing texture and its ability to soothe reactive skin, making it a premium choice in facial oils, serums, and formulations targeting eczema-prone or irritated skin.
