Science

Mechanism of Action

This quaternized oat protein functions by precisely binding water to the skin, thus boosting immediate and long-term hydration. It exhibits a targeted anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting key pro-inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and chemokines, and suppressing the production of inflammatory molecules including interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), which directly reduces skin inflammation, redness, and irritation. Furthermore, it upregulates the expression of genes critical for ceramide synthesis, leading to a more robust and effective skin barrier, thereby improving moisture retention and bolstering resistance against environmental stressors. Concurrently, it refines skin texture and elasticity, contributing to a smoother and firmer complexion.

Stability

For optimal integration, incorporate into the water phase of formulations. While compatible with both hot and cold processing, addition during the cool-down phase is typically preferred to preserve ingredient integrity. To prevent degradation, avoid exposing the material to temperatures exceeding 40°C (104°F). If sedimentation occurs upon standing, ensure thorough shaking before use. Formulations containing this ingredient generally include preservatives; always consult the supplier's specific documentation for details.
