Avena Strigosa Seed Extract is derived from black oat seeds and is used in cosmetic formulations for its skin-conditioning, moisturizing, and soothing properties, attributed to compounds such as polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and antioxidants. It is commonly included to help support the skin barrier and improve hydration.
