What makes this Organic Oatmeal Colloidal Powder unique?
Made from a specific variety of Avena sativa, which is selected for its higher content of 1,3 – 1,4 beta-D-glucan, this is an advanced colloidal oatmeal, which is a proven anti-aging colloidal oatmeal and a unique moisturiser for the skin and hair.
The enhanced capacity to absorb water helps build stable emulsions by binding up to 88% more water than standard colloidal oatmeal.
It can be considered hypo-allergenic and non-irritant and is readily biodegradable under environmental conditions.

How is Organic Oatmeal Colloidal Powder made?
The whole oat grain is milled a sieved, resulting in a fine powder. This particular type of Oatmeal Colloidal is manufactured by a unique patented process whereby the coarse whole oat flour is extruded prior to being fine milled to the USP particle size specification.
It’s been demonstrated that pre-solubilising the starches by extrusion improves dispersion and suspension of the colloidal oatmeal without the need for further grinding, thus preserving the molecular weight of the beta-glucan.
Is Organic Oatmeal Colloidal Powder suitable for vegans?
Yes.
