Where do we get it?

Lush UK purchases oats from a milling company based in Cheshire, UK. One of the oldest family-owned companies in Britain, they’ve been milling oats for more than four hundred years and have been awarded dozens of times for the quality of their products.

With seven manufacturing sites across the globe, this information may vary depending on where your Lush products were made.

What are the benefits of porridge for the skin?

Oats contain polysaccharides that become gelatinous when mixed with water, creating porridge. Used on the skin, it leaves a protective and soothing film that calms soreness and redness. This soothing effect, recognised for thousands of years, could be due to avenanthramides, a type of antibiotic produced by the plant that acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
