What is this
Oat Extract
Oat extract is derived from Avena sativa, the common oat, using the plant's green leaf and stalk. Rich in beta-glucans and gentle phenolic compounds, it is a classic comforting ingredient that helps calm the feeling of sensitivity, soften skin and support its natural moisture barrier.

Where is it found
Tuscany, Italy
In the Italian countryside, oat fields ripen slowly through early summer, their seed heads nodding gold beside olive groves. The harvest follows the grain's own timing, and the green plant is gathered with care for extraction. It is farming as Italy has long practiced it — seasonal, unhurried, precise.

Questions about oat extract
What is oat extract?
Oat extract is derived from Avena sativa, the common oat — The Nine Aurora uses extracts obtained from the plant's green leaf and stalk. Oat is one of skincare's most trusted comforters, rich in beta-glucans and gentle phenolic compounds that help skin feel calm and cared for.
Why is oat good for sensitive skin?
Oat's signature compounds — avenanthramides and beta-glucans — are renowned for helping ease the feeling of tightness and discomfort while softening the skin. Its tolerance is so high that oat preparations are classics for delicate skin, which is why oat appears across nine of our formulas.
Does oat extract hydrate the skin?
Yes. Oat beta-glucans are natural humectants: they attract water and form a fine, soothing veil on the surface, helping skin hold moisture and feel supple. That veil also supports the skin's own barrier, so hydration lasts rather than evaporating.
Can oat skincare be used every day?
Oat is among the gentlest botanicals in cosmetics and is well suited to daily rituals, morning and night, on even the most delicate skin. Only those with a specific cereal allergy should be cautious — otherwise oat's long history is one of quiet, dependable comfort.
