A hydrating complex of vegetable derived hydrolyzed oat protein. Great in skin creams and lotions, hair care products, body washes etc. Helps retain and add moisture to the skin and adds softness, texture and manageability to the hair. Manufactured by Tri-K Industries, this is a soluble form of hydrolyzed whole oats consisting mainly of hydrolyzed oligosaccharides (or carbohydrates). This skin care ingredient can be used to improve the feel properties of creams and lotions and imparts a soft, cushiony feel on the skin, giving it a near-velvet smoothness after drying. With the natural touch it provides as an all-vegetable derived moisturizer, oat protein can give your next skin care formulation genuine appeal, as well as added functionality. Recommended use levels are 1-5%.
