Our latest addition to the Hivessence Collection of Self-Care Solutions
(fancy name, right?) is Colloidal Oatmeal. What is that you ask?
Well, Colloidal Oatmeal is a finely ground, de-husked oatmeal that has also been boiled, dried, and then processed into a powder. It’s a simple and amazing compound that soothes your skin and helps it heal. In fact, it has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to ease and treat an assortment of skin conditions. Some of the health and skincare benefits of using colloidal oatmeal include:
- Moisturizing: We all need this every day and Colloidal Oatmeal aids to lock in moisture and keep your skin hydrated. In simple terms, it forms a protective barrier on top of your skin. That helps to prevent moisture loss, much like beeswax. It is especially helpful if you suffer from dry, itchy skin.
- Soothing: Ah yes, we love anything that’s soothing and Colloidal Oatmeal does that along with anti-inflammatory properties. These features can help relax and relieve irritated skin. It can be particularly helpful for people with conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea – even for kids who have Chicken Pox.
- Cleansing: Clean skin doesn’t always need to come from a soap (even though we love our organic collection of honey-infused soaps!) Colloidal Oatmeal has natural cleansing properties that can help to remove dirt and oil from the skin in a very gentle way. It can also help to unclog pores and prevent breakouts and blackheads.
- Exfoliating: Colloidal Oatmeal contains natural exfoliants (the germ shell of the plant) that can help remove dead skin cells and promote cell renewal. It’s one of the best ways to improve the overall texture and appearance of your skin.
- Anti-aging: We hear this term every day, but Colloidal Oatmeal contains antioxidants that can help to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and UVA rays. It’s not a sun-screen but can help your skin heal from normal environmental exposure to radiation damage.
