Cosactive Avena 250 closes the gap between nature and innovation
Introduction
Oats have been valued for centuries not only as a valuable foodstuff, but also as a natural active ingredient in skin care. Even our grandmothers knew about the soothing effects of oat baths on skin irritations, redness and dry skin. Today, science is able to isolate the active ingredients of this ‘superfood’ and make them available for use in modern cosmetic products. With ‘Cosactive Avena 250’, the company presents a highly effective oat raw material that combines decades of tradition with the latest findings.
Oats – a centuries-old active ingredient for the skin
The use of oats in skin care can be traced back to ancient times. Even then, it was known that oats soothe, protect and care for sensitive skin. In the Middle Ages, poultices made from oat flour were used to treat eczema, wounds and irritation. Later, oat extracts became available in pharmacies as bath additives – a true classic in dermocosmetics.
The reason for its effectiveness lies in the special secondary plant compounds found in oats, known as avenanthramides. These unique antioxidants are found exclusively in oats and are known for their anti-inflammatory, anti-itching and skin-soothing properties.
What makes Cosactive Avena 250 so special?
Cosactive Avena 250 is an active ingredient that makes these natural benefits available in the highest quality and in a standardised form. The very fine oat flour contains a guaranteed content of 250 ppm avenanthramides. This ensures that every batch is consistently highly effective.

Tradition meets modern cosmetic research
The use of oats is not new, but Cosactive Avena 250 gives this traditional medicinal plant a modern update. While oat baths or compresses were the common form of application in the past, the standardised raw material now allows precise formulation in serums, creams, lotions and even baby care products.
