Vad är COATS®

COATS® står för Colloidal Oatmeal System. Det är en patenterad handske-beläggningsteknik som innehåller ett kliniskt bevisat hudskyddsmedel.

Bortom skydd

Havremjöl har använts i århundraden som ett lugnande medel för att lindra klåda och irritation i samband med olika torra hudåkommor. I juni 2003 fick finfördelat havremjöl FDA-godkännande att användas som hudskyddsmedel. Genom att inse de unika fördelarna med finfördelat havremjöl kunde INNOVATIONSFÖRETAGET kombinera denna kunskap med sin innovativa handsktillverkningsteknologi för att erbjuda COATS® – den revolutionerande handsken som går bortom skydd.

WHY COLLOIDAL OATMEAL IS GREAT FOR SKIN?

GREAT PROTECTION FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

Colloidal oatmeal has been used for decades to soothe and ameliorate atopic dermatitis and other pruritic and/or xerotic dermatoses. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also suggests that colloidal oatmeal baths could help relieve itching in cases of shingles (Herpes Zoster).³ Colloidal oatmeal’s properties are truly beneficial for glove users, in particular, the healthcare workers as according to a study in the British Journal of Dermatology published in July 2017, they are more likely to get hand eczema than the general population.

SOOTHING PROPERTIES

Colloidal oatmeal is the key to soothing sensitive skin, especially effective towards itches and irritations. Colloidal oatmeal binds to your skin and locks in moisture, giving your skin a chance to rehydrate. It also helps balance your skin’s natural pH levels.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PROPERTIES

In June 2003, colloidal oatmeal has gained the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval to be used as a skin protectant. Colloidal oatmeal has a long history of beneficial use in dermatology. Oatmeal possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and its administration is effective on a variety of dermatologic inflammatory diseases.

MOISTURISING PROPERTIES

Hand washing is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of germs. However, frequent hand washing removes protective lipids from the skin barrier and as a result, the skin becomes less pliable and more prone to cracks and fissures. The high concentration of starches and beta-glucan in oats are factors leading to the protective and water-holding functions of oat.⁴ Colloidal oatmeal creates a film on top of the skin's surface, which enable reduction of Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) while preventing irritants from penetrating the skin.

BARRIER-REPAIR PROPERTIES

The finely grounded texture of Colloidal Oatmeal lets the molecules form a thin skin-like protective layer over the skin barrier that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Extracts of colloidal oatmeal were found to induce the expression of genes related to epidermal differentiation, tight junctions and lipid regulation in skin, and provide pH-buffering capacity. Colloidal oatmeal boosted the expression of multiple target genes related to skin barrier in an in vitro model of atopic dermatitis.
