Aromatic Description: Light to medium scent of oatmeal.
Common Uses: Oats have long been used for soothing skin conditions, and are now known to be highly emollient with no dermal irritation and sensitivity. Because this oil is so rich in antioxidants and tocopherols and has natural emulsifiers, formulators may find they can reduce the amount of chemical emulsifiers in their product. It has a saponification value of 185 - 195.
Consistency: Medium
Absorption: Absorbs slowly, but has a very rich feel, like liquid silk.
History: A relatively new product to the cosmetic industry, it is currently being used in lotions, creams, and soaps.
Shelf Life: Users can expect a shelf life of up to 2 years with proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight). Refrigeration after opening is recommended, but it must be brought back to room temperature before using. Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for current Best Before Date.
Cautions: None known.
Storage: It is recommended that cold-pressed carrier oils be kept in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness and achieve maximum shelf life. If refrigerated, bring to room temperature before using.

Rating: I bought this oil a year ago but only recently started using it consistently. This 100% gets rid of irritation from any strong facial treatments, acids etc. Worth every penny!

Rating: The best of all oils for facial serums, even using it straight from the bottle on the skin. Beats overrated Argan - absorbs quickly and makes skin silky, silky smooth. Also smells wonderful!

Rating: This is by far my favorite oil to use in conditioner! I combine it with Tucuma butter for the most incredibly soft, shiny hair imaginable. It eliminates the need for silicone of any kind, and strengthens and fortifies the hair shaft. Due to it's emulsifying nature, I've been able to cut back on my usual Emulsimulse in formulations (my first batch was too thick to pump out of the bottle). An excellent choice for all skin products as well, to make lotions, creams and body butters with a sensory feel of pure, silky moisture. There is no one on the planet who doesn't like those qualities, and I consistently sell out of anything I make with this wondrous oil!

Rating: This really is a 5 star oil. I love using it. Very rich and soothing.
Rating: Cette huile est un trésor pour la peau. Je l'utilise telle qu'elle comme calmant et émollient. Le prix a cependant horriblement augmenté ! Alors, en acheter moins, mais l'utiliser parcimonieusement. Je ne me passerais plus de l'huile d'avoine.
Even though the price dramatically increased, this oïl is a treasure. I use it as is on my skin for a calming and emollient effect. I love the texture, the smell, the effect.

Rating: I loved this oil so much that I immediately bought some more. It is rich but can be used daily. I use it as a night care. I love it's properties and am looking for making a whipped body butter with it.
J'ai tellement aimé cette huile que j'en ai immédiatement acheté plus. Je l'utilise pour mes soins de nuit pour le visage. Ses propriétés antioxydantes sont tout pour plaire. Le prix à NDA aussi... Légère odeur d'avoine.

Rating: This is a really lovely oil. I have used it to make facial creams, hand creams and body lotions, which have turned out thick and creamy. An added bonus is the lovely lemony custard colour it produces, which looks fantastic in the Boston Round Frosted Glass Jar with the golden lid. Mix oat oil with some wheatgerm oil for a fabulous facial treat. Your skin will love you! Thank you New Directions for making this oil available in the 100ml size. I will definitely buy this again.
Rating: This is lovely stuff! It is clear and golden in colour and, although somewhat viscous, absorbs very well. It has a light, fresh, grainy smell of oats (surprise surprise) and is supposed to be very high in Vit E, so I am hoping it be good for fading scars in addition to all the soothing properties that oats are famous for. I am very glad it comes in the 100ml size!
