What are the benefits of Oats?


Oats have been used for centuries as a beauty treatment and for relief from skin irritation. In the early Greek and Roman civilizations, oats were used in the public baths to soothe and relieve discomfort from minor skin disorders. Today, oats are a common ingredient in personal care products and are known for their soothing and rejuvenation properties in cosmetics. In soap, they add texture for gentle exfoliation.


"For centuries, oats have been valued for the grain's medicinal qualities. As early as 400 BC ground oat was used on skin for drying and healing."
