At Aveeno®, we know skin can be vulnerable and require special care, and so can our planet. All skin goes through sensitive stages, and it’s natural. That’s why we create formulas that are rich in nourishing ingredients and deliver real results for healthy looking skin and why we are thoughtful about the choices we make toward reducing the environmental footprint of our products.
Soothing Colloidal Oatmeal formula relieves itch and irritation due to eczema while strengthening skin’s natural moisture barrier.
The clinical benefits of Aveeno® Oat in dry skin have been demonstrated through extensive research across diverse skin conditions and populations.

What Is An Oat?
Oat naturally contains proteins, vitamins B and E, and nourishing lipids that work to lock in moisture for rough, dry skin. We use finely ground, highest quality oat flour for its skin-smoothing and softening properties in moisturizers, cleansers, and other products. We use oat extract in cleansers and moisturizers for its calming and soothing benefits on itchy, dry skin and oat oil to restore the skin’s moisture barrier. In fact, in 2003 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officially categorized colloidal oatmeal as a skin protectant, meaning it can be effective at relieving dryness, skin irritation, and itching due to skin conditions like eczema.
