Avena Sativa Kernel Extract is a sugar-based tensor ingredient, that efficiently meets this expectation. An elastic, flexible molecule, it is a purified fraction of branched natural polysaccharides obtained from oats produced by organic farming.
Avena Sativa Kernel Extract is a very-high-molecular-weight network of complex sugars linked by intra- and inter-chain hydrogen bonds that adheres to the surface of the skin in a continuous and cohesive biological "lifting" film. Its cosmetic performance has been characterized by:
- a sensorial approach: 82% of the volunteers on a trained panel felt a significant and immediate tensor effect sensation;
- an instrumental approach: short-term efficiency (significant tensor effect 2h after a single application).
Easily formulable, strong lifting power: Avena Sativa Kernel Extract can be incorporated into all tensor and remodeling care products. It is a 100% natural sugar tensor purified fraction from oat polysaccharides obtained from organic farming.
A very high molecular weight network, Avena Sativa Kernel Extract has an elevated lifting power and high solubility in aqueous media, an advantage that facilitates its formulation. It favors a large number of interactions between its sugar chains and the intercellular lipids of the Stratum corneum; it adsorbs to the surface of the skin and forms a viscoelastic, cohesive, and continuous biological film.Immediate sensorial efficiency and scientifically proven cosmetic benefits provide Avena Sativa Kernel Extract with an overall action. It is very soluble and relatively insensitive to changes in pH, temperature, and salinity. It is not sticky and has no shiny effect on the skin. Finally, it is practically colorless and so can be incorporated in the whitest emulsions and the clearest serums.
