Why Oatmeal for a Healthy Scalp?

Why Oatmeal for a Healthy Scalp?

You may have noticed that our Amazing Aloe Vera Eczema & Psoriasis Shampoo and Conditioner contain two incredibly soothing and healing ingredients for an itchy scalp: aloe vera and manuka honey. You’ll also notice another prominent ingredient: Avena Sativa, otherwise known as... the common oat. Common, maybe. Commonplace? Not at all! It's a powerful ingredient for those of us with problem scalps.

Sure, oatmeal is delicious for breakfast, but why add it to our shampoo and conditioner? Not only are oats a gentle exfoliant for a dry, flaky scalp, but it can also soothe itching and protect skin. Oats contain saponins, which can help to clear dirt and build-up in the hair. Like aloe vera and manuka honey, oats have anti-inflammatory properties, which can assist in easing scalp irritation. As another bonus, oats contain B vitamins which are vitally important to a healthy scalp. It is even said to increase hair growth!

Oats are truly the perfect ingredient to complement our shampoo and conditioner. We know you’ll love the effects as much as we do!
