Colloidal Oatmeal: The Unsung Hero of Sensitive Skin

When it comes to healing dry, irritated, or eczema-prone skin, colloidal oatmeal isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.

At Marshay, we don’t treat it like a trend or a bonus. We treat it like what it is:
a cornerstone of true skin therapy.

What Is Colloidal Oatmeal?

Colloidal oatmeal is finely ground, whole oat flour, made from oats specifically prepared to retain their natural actives. It’s not just “natural”—it’s clinically proven to protect and soothe compromised skin.

When mixed with water, it forms a creamy emulsion that locks in moisture, reduces itching, and forms a gentle barrier over damaged skin.

It’s so effective, it’s recognized by dermatologists and even medical bodies as a legit skin protectant.

Why Marshay Is Built Around It

We don’t just sprinkle colloidal oatmeal into one cream and call it a day.

We’ve built our entire Skin Therapy system around it—because we know how powerful it really is for:

• Eczema flare-ups

• Chronic dry patches

• Inflamed, itchy, red skin

• Post-shower irritation

• Skin that reacts to everything else

Colloidal oatmeal works like a shield—but instead of just sitting on top, it goes deeper: calming inflammation, restoring your barrier, and helping your skin actually heal.

The Power Is in the Pairing

Where most brands stop at oatmeal, we go further.

Every Marshay formula pairs colloidal oatmeal with skin-repairing, plant-based ingredients that amplify its effects:

• Moringa Oil – For lightweight nourishment and powerful antioxidant protection

• Vegetable Glycerin + Sodium Lactate – To pull water deep into the skin

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) – To strengthen the skin barrier and reduce sensitivity over time

• Shea Butter – To seal in hydration without suffocating your skin

This isn’t just moisture. This is skin therapy that’s gentle, smart, and plant-powered.

Why It Works for Everyone

Colloidal oatmeal isn’t just for eczema or flare-ups—it’s for anyone who wants skin that’s:

• Balanced

• Softer

• Stronger over time

If your skin feels tight after washing, stings when it’s dry, or flakes no matter how much lotion you apply, this is your solution.

Tired of products that burn, break you out, or barely work?

Oatmeal has always had the answers.
We just figured out how to pair it right.
