Oat extract (derived from Avena sativa) is used in topical formulations for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin-barrier-supporting properties, largely attributed to compounds such as avenanthramides and beta-glucan. It is commonly included to calm irritation, reduce itching, and improve skin hydration.
Titanium dioxide is an inorganic mineral compound used primarily as a physical (mineral) sunscreen agent that reflects and scatters UV radiation, and also serves as a white pigment and opacifier in cosmetic formulations. It is broadly photostable and considered gentle, making it common in products for sensitive and pediatric skin.
