Gentle care for sensitive skin: Oats

Oats – the underestimated powerhouse for the skin

We know oats as a healthy breakfast – but few people know that they are also a real miracle for the skin. Dermatologists and natural cosmetic manufacturers have been relying on oats for decades as a gentle, effective ingredient for sensitive skin. In our Tirol Soaps, oats are an important raw material – especially for those prone to redness, itching, or sensitive skin.

What's in oats?

Oats are rich in a variety of skin-caring substances:

• Beta-Glucan – soothes, strengthens the skin barrier, and provides intensive moisture
• Avenanthramides – unique compounds with strong anti-inflammatory effects
• Proteins – protect and strengthen the skin
• Silicon – improves skin elasticity
• Zinc – antibacterial and regulating for impure skin
• Starch – forms a protective film on the skin's surface

The effect of oats in soap:

• ✔ Itch-relieving – gentle relief for neurodermatitis and eczema
• ✔ Anti-inflammatory – soothes irritated skin areas
• ✔ Moisturizing – Beta-Glucan binds water in the skin
• ✔ Gentle peeling – fine oat bran removes dead skin cells
• ✔ Skin barrier strengthening – protects against external influences
• ✔ Soothing – ideal after sunburn, shaving, or skin irritations
