HYDROGENATED OAT KERNEL OIL
Hydrogenated oat kernel oil, also known as oat butter, is a firmer, creamy variant of oat oil that has been stabilized through hydrogenation. This oat butter retains the essential skin-caring properties of the original oil and contains functional lipid compounds that have a particularly nourishing and regenerating effect. The buttery texture makes it particularly pleasant to use.(1-8)
Advantages:
Supports the skin in case of irritation and helps with itching.
