How does Avenanthramide Work?
Avenanthramide is a natural plant polyphenol with anti-oxidant effects occurring in oats (Avena sativa). Locally applied avenanthramide decreases itching and redness of the effected skin. The soothing effect of an oat bath has been known since antiquity.
It is primarily known for its anti-itching effect, which is still used in dermatology today for soothing various conditions related to itching of the skin, such as atopic dermatitis or eczema.
