Verdict
No significant safety concerns; well-tolerated; potential oat/gluten sensitivity in rare cases. A coarser grind than kernel flour, providing more pronounced physical exfoliation . Widely used in natural/clean beauty formulations; found in products ranging from oatmeal scrubs to African black soap formulations . Also provides oil-absorbing and mattifying benefits.
