Oat* Lipid e has excellent absorbency and protective
properties, enhancing skin feel, moisturising and soothing
the skin.
What is Oat® Lipid e?
Oat® Lipid e is a natural lipid complex extracted from the oat kernel. It contains
approximately 10% polar lipids, is rich in skin-identical fatty acids including membrane
phospholipids and ceramides protected by powerful antioxidants.
Oat® Lipid e has a high linoleic acid content recognised as establishing and maintaining the epidermal water barrier
thereby improving skin barrier function. The complex contains antioxidants, in the form of alkyl phenolates,
tocotrienols and tocopherols, which have been shown to protect skin lipids from UV peroxidation and DNA
damage.
Ceramides, Phosphatidylcholine [PC] and Phosphatidylethanolamine [PE] are membrane-identical phospholipids
contained within Oat® Lipid e. The molecules have also been shown to support the barrier function helping to keep
skin in a healthy condition, slow down skin aging and maintain the stratum corneum.
Oat® Lipid e is easy to formulate with and provides superior benefits to most other natural oils used in skin care.
The structure of oat oil within the kernel
Oats are an unusual cereal crop due to a high lipid kernel
content (approximately 7%) allowing oil extraction from the
whole kernel with extractants such as carbon dioxide, hexane,
or ethanol. The oil is present in two distinct areas, the bran layer
Phosphatidylcholine [PC] has a choline ‘head’ and a chain
of fatty acids making up the ‘tail’ (image 6). It contributes
to essential transport and control mechanisms of the
metabolism as well as improving and protecting cells and
membranes damaged by free radicals.
PC when mixed with water spontaneously generates cell-
like structures whose membranes are built up in bilayers similar to in natural cell structures (liposomes). Liposome
membranes show a similar structure to the barrier layers of the skin and can easily be integrated into the skin
layers.
Phosphatidylethanolamine
Phosphatidylethanolamine [PE] appears to acts as a catalyst during the assembly of membrane proteins to guide
the folding path for the proteins and to aid in the transition from the cytoplasmic to the membrane environment.
Linoleic Acid
The most abundant polyunsaturated fatty acid in human skin is linoleic acid, which is essential in establishing and
maintaining the epidermal water barrier. Linoleic acid is also the most abundant unsaturated fatty acid in oat oil,
which has been shown to be effective in reducing
transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and restoring the skin
permeability barrier.
Skin lipids are vitally important and present in variable
amounts depending on age, condition and disease. They
are an essential part of the stratum corneum permeability
barrier, where they form an intercellular matrix of
multilamellar sheets in which protein-enriched
corneocytes are embedded. Stratum corneum lipids are
now known to be important in controlling the permeability
barrier. Clinical conditions with impaired barrier function,
such as xerosis, atopic dermatitis, and ichthyotic disorders,
are linked to changes in stratum corneum lipid levels. Lipid
application has been shown to improve permeability barrier
function and improve these disorders.
EXTERNAL
INTERNAL
Trans-epidermal water loss
EXTERNAL - Lipids are deficient, TEWL occurs and epidermis is dry and flaky.
INTERNAL - lack of lipids that form the intercellular cement, permeability barrier breaks down and epidermis lacks cellular cohesion.
A deficiency of lipids in the stratum corneum is responsible for dry skin conditions. Oat® Lipid e ‘restores and replenishes’ the natural lipid balance of the skin.
