The Ingredient

Foaming Oats PF is a gentle cleansing ingredient made from oat protein and a coconut-derived component. It helps lift away oil and buildup while producing lather, with the added benefit of leaving skin and hair feeling soft and conditioned rather than harsh or stripped.

    1. Oat Grains

    2. Oat & Coconut

    The oat-derived protein is combined with a coconut-derived component, giving it the ability to cleanse and create lather.

  3. Foaming Oats PF, step 3 — Foaming Oats PF: a golden drop of the liquid ingredient.

    3. Foaming Oats PF

    The finished ingredient is a light amber liquid that provides gentle cleansing while helping skin and hair feel conditioned.

Why We Chose It

A Closer Look

The word “hydrolyzed” simply means that the oat protein has been broken into smaller pieces. Those smaller pieces are then combined with a coconut-derived component that gives the ingredient its cleansing and foaming ability. The result is unusual because it bridges two jobs we often think of separately: helping wash away oil and buildup while also leaving skin and hair feeling conditioned.
