Oat Oil

Oat oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic (18:1) and linoleic acid (18:2) and is a source of antioxidants and glycolipids. In food applications, oat oil is considered as an effective emulsifier and antioxidant. Oat oil can also be used as an alternative to traditional oat flakes. Due to its high level of ceramides compared to other oils, as well as its moisturizing vitamin E content, oat oil is a unique ingredient for cosmetics. Ceramides are a long chain of lipid molecules that are praised for their moisture-retention capabilities. Interestingly, 50% of human skin is composed of ceramides.
