Colloidal oat extract

Ceapro's colloidal oat extract is a complex mixture of phytochemicals including avenanthramides, flavonoids, saponins, and other bioactive compounds. Avenanthramides are among the most powerful compounds used in cosmetics, and even when diluted to one-millionth of their original strength, they still have anti-irritant, skin calming, and soothing effects. Ceapro scientists were the first to determine that avenanthramides in oats were primarily responsible for these therapeutic affects.

Colloidal oat extract is produced by taking raw oats and passing them through Ceapro's advanced processing technologies to create a stable, clear oat extract.
