Oat has been cherished for centuries, not only as a staple in nutrition but also for its benefits in skin care, where it constitutes a staple of the cosmetofood trend or a back to basics concept. Recognised in traditional remedies across various European and Middle Eastern cultures, oat was historically used to soothe and protect the skin, particularly in the form of baths and poultices. Its enduring popularity stems from its composition, which supports a wide range of cosmetic applications. Rich in beneficial compounds such as carbohydrates, amino acids and phenolic antioxidants, oat is highly valued in modern skincare for its ability to maintain hydration and support the skin’s natural barrier function. It is particularly renowned for its soothing and regenerating properties, while it also contributes to a softening effect, leaving the skin feeling smooth and comfortable.
