DESCRIPTION
Colloidal Oatmeal is a luxurious and versatile ingredient derived from finely ground whole oat grains (Avena sativa), carefully processed to ensure a standardized particle size for optimal performance. This USP-grade raw material excels in delivering soothing, moisturizing, and protective benefits, making it an exceptional addition to a wide range of personal care products.
When dispersed in water, Colloidal Oatmeal forms a stable colloidal suspension due to its average particle size (200 mesh). This unique property ensures that the oatmeal particles remain evenly distributed throughout the liquid, rather than settling at the bottom. This creates a hydrating and protective film on the skin, bridging the gap between a solution and a suspension.
The mucilage in Colloidal Oatmeal is exceptionally gentle and enriched with oil from the oat's germ. This makes it suitable for use in both baby and adult bath products. For a soothing bath experience, simply add up to 1 tablespoon to a baby's bath or ½ cup to an adult's bath, dispersing it under the running tap.
Whether used in bath powders, shampoos, creams, or lotions, Colloidal Oatmeal delivers deep, nourishing moisture and a gentle touch to your formulations.
