Oat Fiber

Oat Fiber is a natural polysaccharide-rich ingredient derived from the outer hull and bran layers of oat grains (Avena sativa), consisting primarily of insoluble cellulose and hemicellulose fibers. In cosmetic formulations, it functions as a natural rheology modifier and sensory enhancer, providing a soft, silky skin feel while absorbing excess oils and sebum without drying. Formulators value it for its ability to create a velvety texture in powder products, improve spreadability in creams, and provide a natural mattifying effect in skincare formulations, all while being highly sustainable and biodegradable.
