The Power of Oats and Oat Oil in Skincare

The Amazing Oats and Oat Oil

Oats (Avena Sativa) have been treasured for centuries as both a nourishing food and a soothing skincare remedy. Ancient Greeks and Romans bathed in oat-infused water to calm irritation and dryness — a ritual still valued today for sensitive and reactive skin.

Extracted from the kernel of common oats, oat oil offers all the benefits of oats plus a concentrated boost of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and micronutrients. Its naturally high levels of linoleic and oleic acids, vitamin E, and beta-glucans help protect and replenish the skin barrier.

What Makes Our Oat Ingredients Unique

At For Sea and Oats, every product is formulated with high concentrations of oat oil, colloidal oatmeal, and organic oat milk. These ingredients work together to hydrate, soothe, and protect sensitive, dry, and stressed skin, restoring its natural softness and glow.

We use cold-pressed oat oil sourced from the seeds of Swedish oats and certified by ECOCERT to meet the COSMOS natural and organic standard. Each batch is handcrafted in Brooklyn, ensuring freshness, purity, and traceability.

The Four Core Benefits of Oat Oil

1. Soothing & Anti-inflammatory

Rich in linoleic acid and avenanthramides, oat oil helps reduce redness, irritation, and itching. It’s ideal for calming eczema, acne, and sensitive skin — offering relief and comfort without harsh actives.

2. Strengthening the Skin Barrier

Oat oil reinforces the lipid layer with omega fatty acids and ceramides that help retain moisture and protect against environmental stress.

3. Antioxidant & Anti-aging Support

Beta-glucans and vitamin E shield the skin from free radicals, delivering both antioxidant protection and deep hydration.

4. Non-greasy & Non-comedogenic

With a comedogenic rating of 0, oat oil absorbs quickly without clogging pores. It clarifies oily skin while nourishing and moisturizing dry skin — perfect for balanced, everyday care.

Why It Matters

We believe in simplicity that works. Our oat-based formulations are gentle on skin and kind to the planet — plastic-free, biodegradable, and made to restore calm in your daily ritual.
