OUR INGREDIENTS

A deeply moisturising, ultra-rich body butter with 1% AvenaPLex which rapidly repairs damaged skin and replenishes skin lipids.

Aptly named for its exceptional ability to assist in recovery of a comprised skin barrier, this luxuriously thick, creamy Recovery Butter melts effortlessly into the skin without leaving behind any greasy residue. This is due to the fast-absorption of AvenaPLex, our unique oat active, which gives an immediate effect of skin lipid replenishment and guarantees skin is left beautifully soft and supple after every application. What's more, this Recovery Butter packed with ceramides, sterols and free fatty acids, works to rapidly reduce the signs of skin-ageing: restoring elasticity and firmness for a more youthful complexion.

Directions for UseGently massage a large scoop of the Recovery Butter into the skin for instant replenishment, paying special attention to extra-dry areas.

RECOVERY BUTTER

1 2

A gentle anti-ageing eye cream with 2% aurafirm N which works to firm and plump while delivering a probiotic-like effect to the delicate under-eye area.

This highly effective Firming Eye Cream instantly refreshes tired eyes, plumping the skin to smoothe fine lines and wrinkles by providing a burst of lasting hydration. Moreover, this intense moisturing action alleviates the dryness and irritation to which the delicate eye area can often be prone. Our liquid oat ferment and key ingredient in this formulation, aurafirm N, also delivers a highly-beneficial probiotic-like effect to the under-eye area, providing the skin with a host of life-like bacteria to enhance the diversity of the microbiome and improve skin health.

The skin microbiome has fast become one of the industry's hottest topics as consumers become more and more knowledgeable on the technicalities of skincare, and the almighty natural beauty trend assists in boosting the microbiome's profile. Consumers are now actively seeking products that serve to enhance the health of the microbiome through the use of probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics.

Directions for UseGently dab a small amount of the Firming Eye Cream around the delicate under-eye area.

This indulgent night cream with 2% aurafirm P renews skin texture for a radiant complexion while supporting the skin microbiome with highly efficacious oat-based prebiotics.

aurafirm P, our prebiotic oat-fermented cream and key ingredient in this deluxe formulation works gradually to support the beneficial bacteria found on the skin. The resulting effect is a strengthened skin microbiome that provides greater barrier protection from potentially disruptive external aggressors.

While the aforementioned prebiotic properties will take effect following regular use of the Nourishing Night Cream, the magnificent formulation also delivers a host of overnight skin miracles: reducing skin roughness to improve skin texture and reveal a delightfully smooth, healthy complexion.

SKIN SAVIOUR SERUM

7 8

A luxurious 3-in-1 balm with cleansing, soothing and make-up removing properties which is formulated with 4% Oat Lipid to effectively maintain the skin’s natural lipid balance. This Cleansing Balm, a superior alternative to single-use face wipes, works to gently melt away make-up and remove impurities: deeply cleansing the skin to unblock pores for a clearer complexion. It is due to the inclusion of Oat Lipid, our premium oat oil, that the citrus-scented cleanser's powerful purifying action can take place without stripping the skin of its essential oils, instead enabling the balm to effectively relieve dryness and irritation. Moreover, the Cleansing Balm's gentle soothing and hydrating properties ensure skin is left feeling fresh, soft, and radiant after every use.

Directions for UseWarm a pea-sized amount of the Cleansing Balm between fingers and gently massage into skin to transform the balm into a lightweight oil. Once cleansed, rinse with warm water. Use daily.

CLEANSING BALM

9 10

A soothing, sustainably-packaged post-shave balm with 5% Oat COM which reduces redness and irritation resulting from razor use to provide instant skin relief.

Oat COM, our advanced colloidal oatmeal and key ingredient in this fast-absorbing, skin-soothing formula works to deeply hydrate parched skin: forming a protective barrier to effectively lock in moisture and reduce transepidermal water loss. This buttery balm is also highly effective in reducing the other bothersome symptoms of razor burn, from redness to itchiness to burning, so to provide all-round skin relief after shaving. Moreover, by working quickly to alleviate razor burn, the Aftershave Balm restores calm to the skin: reducing unsightly bumps for a smooth, even complexion that's splendidly soft to the touch.

Directions for Use Warm the balm between fingers and apply gently over shaved skin, focussing on areas of intense irritation.

AFTERSHAVE BALM

11 12

This serum duo demonstrates the superb sensorial effects of Oat SILK, our oat-derived texturiser, through comparison of a luxurious, silky-smooth formulation with Oat SILK and a standard, harsher formulation without.

Upon application, the Luxury Facial Serum with 4% Oat SILK is evidently superior to its standard counterpart. The velvety serum glides effortlessly over the skin with the lightest touch of hand, meaning there is no need to pull and tug at delicate skin areas. Aside from these evident textural benefits, Oat SILK also provides the Luxury Serum with desirable mattifying properties: immediately working to absorb excess oils and eliminate unwanted shine. This makes the Luxury Serum the ultimate make-up base for combination and oily skin types.

Directions for Use To compare the serums, apply a pea-sized amount of the Standard Facial Serum to one half of the face, and the same amount to the other. In future, use the Luxury Serum daily as a mattifying base before moisturiser.
