Moisturizing

Oat β-glucan is a linear unbranched mucopolysaccharide. β-D-pyranose units are connected by β-(1-3) and β-(1-4) glycosidic bonds to form a high molecular polymer. Because it contains a large number of hydrophilic groups, it can absorb moisture or lock moisture in the skin's stratum corneum. Oat β-glucan has a very good moisturizing effect, can promote fibroblasts to synthesize collagen, promote wound healing, and has good skin repair function. In addition, the unique physical and chemical properties of oat β-glucan can give the skin a smooth, silky texture, giving people a feeling of pleasure, comfort and elegance.

Protein is one of the most important components of oats. Protein can be hydrolyzed into small molecule peptides and amino acids. These molecules contain hydrophilic groups that can absorb moisture or lock moisture in the skin's stratum corneum and have excellent moisturizing effects. Oat protein with large molecular weight can form a film at a lower concentration, which plays the role of encapsulating or isolating small molecules. It can quickly deliver active ingredients or release them in a timely manner to improve hair quality and dry skin. Protein, peptides and amino acids are also essential nutrients for the growth and development of tissues and cells. Adding these substances to cosmetics can also moisturize the skin, nourish cells and promote the healthy growth and development of skin tissue.

Oats are rich in high-quality oils, mainly composed of unsaturated fatty acids. The lipid composition and hydrating properties of oat oil can emulsify a large amount of water in the oil, and can be used as an effective carrier for epidermal hydrating moisturizers; oat oil can also form an oil film on the skin surface, which has a long-lasting moisturizing effect; the unsaturated fatty acid components in oat essential oil can soften the skin, moisturize the skin, and give a comfortable skin feel.
