Dry, sensitive, and flaking skin needs and deserves the right kind of care. Most products and ingredients in the market are formulated for specific skin types and conditions but often end up being too aggressive for skin that’s more on the sensitive side. 

Fortunately, there’s still many ingredients that remain suited for sensitive skin, with oat being a powerhouse of good benefits. Delicate yet effective, oat cleanses the skin with saponins, which act like soap but are less harsh on the skin. Since it contains beta-glucan that readily absorbs water, oat also keeps the skin hydrated.

Unique to oat in particular, avenanthramides are significant in reducing inflammation and redness, making it a great ingredient to use for alleviating several skin conditions, like eczema, psoriasis, or just regular itching and irritation. Aside from that, it is packed with vitamins, minerals, phenols, and flavanoids that do everything from protecting the skin from UV rays to imparting necessary nutrients and antioxidants. 

Oat is also incredibly important as an ingredient for sensitive skin as it is one of the few that can exfoliate dirt and dead skin cells without irritating the skin further, and instead soothes and heals. 

You can’t go wrong with Botanic Hearth’s Oat and Niacinamide face wash and body wash. Nourishing and effective, oat soothes and delicately exfoliates the skin, and niacinamide evens out skin tone and tightens the skin to refresh and rejuvenate it.
