Oats have been used successfully for millennia due to moisturizing and soothing properties. The Ancient Romans were used to add oats to thermal water to nourish the skin, treat chapping and irritation. Cleopatra also used oat flour mixed with warm milk as beauty treatment.
Oats are rich in proteins with a high content of lysine and are as an excellent source of soluble fiber and beta-glucans with prebiotic activities. There are also several antioxidant compounds having exceptional calming and soothing properties.

AVENOFERM HF can act as soothing agent reducing inflammation by reducing the Interleukin 1-alpha production.
