Dry Skin and the Benefits of Oats
The skin is the largest organ in the human body and forms an immense interface between the host and its environment. Alterations in skin integrity can compromise its barrier function leading to dry, sensitive or inflamed skin with a significant impact on quality of life. Colloidal oatmeal has been shown to act as a buffer system that helps restore the normal pH of the skin, maintain the skin’s barrier integrity, prevent water loss and alleviate itch.
