Colloidal Oatmeal

A naturally occurring organic powder with cleansing, barrier, moisturizing and anti-itch properties. Oats contain saponins, a type of chemical compound found in abundance in the plant kingdom. Producing foam when dissolved in water, saponins work much like soap by binding with grease and oil molecules so they can be rinsed away. Colloidal oatmeal is much gentler than soap, however, since its cleansing action only works on the surface of the skin. And because it doesn’t penetrate deeply and strip away oils, using it won’t dry out and damage the skin’s barrier.
