The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits of oatmeal can help relieve you of itchy and irritated skin. When mixed with shea butter, it makes the skin soft and bouncy.

Product Description:

This lotion combines colloidal oatmeal with shea butter, a pairing with more evidence behind it than most cosmetic combinations. Colloidal oatmeal — finely milled whole oat grain suspended in the base — contains beta-glucans that hold water, saponins that cleanse gently, and avenanthramides, polyphenols with demonstrated anti-inflammatory and anti-itch activity. It has been used for irritated and itchy skin for decades and is recognised as a skin protectant by the US OTC monograph system.

Shea butter contributes occlusion and emollience: it is rich in oleic and stearic acids and in unsaponifiable compounds, and it slows water loss from the skin surface while improving suppleness. The combination suits dry, itchy and easily irritated skin, including eczema-prone skin between flares, where the aim is barrier support rather than treatment. It does not replace prescribed treatment for active eczema.

Sourcing notes. Colloidal oatmeal's regulatory position differs by market: it is a recognised OTC skin protectant active in the US, which means a product claiming that benefit there follows drug rules, while the same product is a cosmetic elsewhere. Oat particle size and grade should be specified, and shea butter origin and refining level affect both feel and colour.
