Natural Oats
Discover Oats

Oats have a long history of being valued for skin care dating back to the ancient Greeks and Romans who used oat baths to heal skin ailments. AVEENO® scientists developed innovative formulations, using finely milled (colloidal) oatmeal, that retain the naturally active benefits of the oats.

The Benefits of Oats

Relieves dry skin

The natural colloidal oatmeal lotion formulas of AVEENO® moisturize and help protect skin.

Soothes itchy, irritated skin

Colloidal oatmeal provides temporary skin protection and when used in a bath treatment it can relieve minor itching and irritation due to rashes, eczema, poison ivy/oak/sumac, and insect bites.

Soothes extra dry, irritated skin

Colloidal oatmeal combined with menthol, shea butter and other skin protectants has been clinically proven to relieve itchy, extra dry, and cracked skin.

Moisturizes skin

Oat proteins leave a protective barrier on the skin, which prevents water loss to help maintain moisture.

The Science Behind Oats

The scientists at AVEENO® discovered a technological advancement that facilitated the fine milling of oatmeal, known as colloidal oatmeal. The innovation of fine milling allowed the colloidal oatmeal to retain its naturally active benefits, which were clinically shown to moisturize and relieve dry skin.
