      Oatmeal
Nature’s Soothing Shield
Oatmeal is a powerhouse for dry, sensitive, and irritated skin. Rich in beta-glucans and antioxidants, it helps form a natural barrier that locks in moisture and calms redness. At Melrose, we use finely ground colloidal oatmeal for its proven ability to soothe, soften, and restore balance to your skin barrier.
Why We Use Oatmeal In Our Products
Oatmeal has been used for centuries to comfort the skin. Its natural sugars, proteins, and lipids strengthen the skin barrier while calming itchiness and irritation caused by dryness, stress, or seasonal changes.
As a nurse-formulated brand, we rely on colloidal oatmeal for its clinically supported ability to soothe eczema-prone and reactive skin without clogging pores which makes it a perfect fit for Melrose’s Soothe Collection.

                Ingredient Breakdown
What is Oatmeal?
Oatmeal is a finely ground form of oats known as colloidal oatmeal — rich in vitamins, lipids, and antioxidants that help calm, hydrate, and protect the skin barrier. It’s one of nature’s most trusted comfort ingredients for dry and sensitive skin.
How does Oatmeal work?
Oats contain beta-glucans and avenanthramides which are powerful compounds that soothe inflammation, restore barrier lipids, and improve moisture retention.
Where does Melrose source its Oatmeal from?
We use oatmeal derived from non-GMO oats, ground and processed in small batches for purity and performance.
Which skin type is compatible with Oatmeal?
All skin types, especially dry, sensitive, or eczema-prone skin.
