1. DESCRIPTION OF AQUARICH®:
Aquarich® is a high-quality active ingredient derived from black oat extract. It contains a wealth of water-binding substances such as amino acids, proteins, and polysaccharides, as well as a range of vitamins, including provitamin A, B1, B2, B6, biotin, niacin, and provitamin B5. This combination makes Aquarich® an ideal ingredient for skin care, especially for sensitive skin.
2. EFFECTS OF AQUARICH®:
Aquarich® is known for its anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties, which are attributed to the compound avenanthramide. It increases the skin’s ability to retain moisture and reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), resulting in more sustained hydration of the skin. The ß-glucan it contains ensures a soft and supple skin surface and optimizes the skin’s protective barrier.

Aquarich® is a popular ingredient in many skin care products, especially those designed to increase skin hydration and soothe sensitive skin.
