What Is Oat Peptides?

Oat peptide is a plant complex extracted from alpine oats, mainly including oat protein and oat β-glucan.

Oat β-glucan in oat peptide has excellent anti-aging effect, can smooth fine wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and improve skin texture. β-glucan is a linear molecular structure with good transdermal absorption performance, promoting fibroblasts to synthesize collagen, promote wound healing, and repair damaged skin.

The extraction process of oat peptide is very mature and has been used in many beauty products. It is made of high-quality oat protein refined by compound enzyme preparation enzymatic hydrolysis process. Its structure is similar to natural moisturizing factor (NMF), with excellent moisturizing properties, can quickly penetrate the skin, and play a deep moisturizing role.

Oat peptide has excellent cosmetic efficacy and is widely used in skin care products. It has excellent film-forming properties, can form a film at low concentration, embed or isolate small molecules, penetrate the skin and dry hair, and form a protective layer on the surface of skin and hair. Oat peptides have the function of inhibiting the activity of MMP-1 and increasing the collagen content in the skin. They can effectively block the chain reaction that is extremely harmful to the skin, thereby maintaining the integrity of the skin texture, inhibiting skin thinning, and enhancing skin elasticity. The small molecule bioactive peptides in oat peptides are very similar to cell growth factor (EGF), which can accelerate cell proliferation, promote skin metabolism, activate the skin, reduce skin roughness, and make the skin glow with beauty.

Oat peptides can also inhibit protease activity and have an antioxidant effect; they also help penetration, helping the skin to better absorb other nutrients; at the same time, they give the skin nutrition, condition the skin, effectively moisturize, and reduce skin roughness.

Oat peptides can penetrate the skin directly through the carrier and be absorbed. They have the characteristics of fast speed and low energy consumption during the absorption process; after the oat peptides are absorbed, in the process of promoting cell proliferation, they can eliminate the competition between amino acids absorbed in the form of amino acid residues (PAA), thereby promoting the rapid synthesis of protein.

More importantly, the protein extracted from oats is very similar to cell growth factors. The skin often misjudges oat protein as cell growth factors, which spontaneously accelerates cell proliferation and promotes the entire metabolism. In addition, the peptide components in the product contain a large number of hydrophilic groups, which are highly moisturizing substances and can promote and ensure the moisturizing effect of the product after it is added to cosmetics.

What Are The Functions Of Oat Peptides?

For the skin, oat peptides can increase skin elasticity and improve wrinkles and sagging. The moisturizing effect on the skin is also very significant. It can lock in moisture, form a protective layer on the skin surface, improve the skin's water retention capacity, and prevent moisture loss. It also has soothing and restorative properties. It can reduce irritation and damage to the skin and relieve skin discomfort. Oat peptides can also promote cell regeneration and repair damaged tissue, accelerating wound healing. Oat peptides also have anti-inflammatory properties. It can inhibit the inflammatory response and reduce inflammatory symptoms such as skin redness and swelling. This is especially important for people with skin sensitivities, as it can relieve problems such as skin irritation and redness. Using products containing oat peptides can also improve skin texture. It can balance oil secretion, shrink pores, and make skin more delicate and smooth. Its antibacterial effect can also reduce bacterial growth and prevent the formation of acne and pimples.

Oat peptides also have the effects of enhancing immunity, improving digestive function, and regulating blood lipids.

The proteins in oat peptides help synthesize immune cells and promote their activity, thereby enhancing the body's disease resistance.

The dietary fiber contained in oat peptides can increase intestinal peristalsis, improve constipation, and can absorb harmful substances in the body and promote their excretion from the body.

Oat peptides reduce the decomposition and absorption of fat by inhibiting the activity of lipolytic enzymes, thereby reducing triglyceride levels in the blood.

What Is The Application Of Oat Peptides?

‌Health care products‌: Oat peptides can be used as raw materials for health care product formulations, and have the effects of preventing cardiovascular diseases and promoting digestion. For example, in health care products, oat peptides can be added to lipid-lowering drugs to help regulate blood lipids and promote health.

‌Skin care products‌: Oat peptides can be used to produce moisturizing creams and other products. Its moisturizing, anti-aging, blood sugar regulation, and cholesterol-lowering effects make it an ideal ingredient in skin care products. Oat peptides can form a protective film on the skin, tighten and soften fine wrinkles, lock in skin moisture, give the skin a smooth, silky touch, and prevent skin aging.

‌Functional Food‌: In functional foods, oat peptides can be added to products such as protein powder to meet specific health needs. Oat peptides are rich in nutritional value, including rich amino acids, minerals, vitamins, proteins and other nutrients, and have many benefits for health.
