    Hello everyone! Im making face cream moisturizer and i want to replace water with no gluten oat water for its emollient properties for dry and irritated skin. 2 questions.

    How can i make this water? how many parts oat and water and for how long?

    Also, how long does it lasts before i put it on the cream phases? Sorry for my English.

    I use Colloidal Oatmeal in some of my products. I dissolve it into the water phase of my formulations and it has worked well. I would, however, make sure you have a good preservative system to go along with it and be aware that this ingredient is what is typically called bug food and using it will definitely affect the shelf life of your product.
