Verdict

The CIR Panel noted that because final formulations may contain multiple botanicals sharing the same constituents of concern, formulators should avoid reaching levels that may cause sensitization or other toxic effects. Potential for allergic contact dermatitis in oat-sensitive individuals.. Extracted from the straw (stem) of common oat (Avena sativa L., Poaceae); rich in flavonoids, saponins, and minerals; valued for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties on sensitive or irritated skin

US Note

Allowed - not listed on any FDA prohibited/restricted list; covered under the CIR safety assessment of Avena sativa-derived ingredients, which found these ingredients safe as used in cosmetics
