What is it?
Avenanthramides are naturally occurring antioxidant and soothing compounds found almost exclusively in oats. They are considered some of the key bioactive components responsible for the calming and skin-comforting properties associated with oat-based skin care ingredients.
Where does it come from?
Avenanthramides are derived from oats, specifically from the kernels of the oat plant (Avena sativa). These beneficial polyphenol compounds are extracted and refined for cosmetic use for soothing, antioxidant, and skin-conditioning benefits in skin care formulations.
