Oat Oil e  is fast becoming the formulator’s first choice. It is light, clear and golden and is particularly high in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, phospholipids and tocopherols.

The oil is produced from a specific oat variety and gently extracted under an ethanolic process resulting in a high clarity lightly coloured Ecocert natural oil.

Oat oil e is a natural emollient and is ideal for use in moisturising and sunscreen products. Its naturally occurring antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant properties make it an excellent choice for anti-aging serums and anti-allergenic creams and ointments.
