Oat Milk
Oat Milk (Avena Sativa)
Oat milk, a creamy, plant-based extract derived from soaked and blended oats, is a powerhouse ingredient for skin and hair care. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and beta-glucans, oat milk is known for its deep hydration, soothing properties, and ability to strengthen the skin barrier. Its lightweight yet nourishing nature makes it ideal for sensitive, dry, or irritated skin, providing intense hydration without clogging pores or causing heaviness.
