Product description


Rejuvaveen is an oat extract from oat bran (Avena sativa) grown in Sweden, produced by the British company Oat Cosmetics. It comes in the form of a fine cream-coloured powder, cold-water dispersible, with the full active profile of oat bran preserved.
The extract contains ~30% oat beta-glucan, ~30% starch and ~5% lipids containing ceramides, triacylglycerols and sterols. Tryptophan in trace amounts (13 mg/100 g) complements the profile with an amino acid component. Oat beta-glucan has a linear structure with β-1,4 glycosidic bonds (70%) and β-1,3 bonds (30%) — thanks to this structure it penetrates through the intercellular matrix into the epidermis and dermis, where it acts directly at the cellular level.


Key benefits

  • Telomere protection: an in vitro study recorded +112% telomerase activity after 3 days and −86% slowing of telomere shortening after 42 days. Telomeres are the protective ends of chromosomes — their gradual shortening is a direct marker of cellular ageing.
  • Collagen protection against UV-A: an ex vivo model demonstrated −11% MMP1 levels compared to UV-A stress. MMP1 is a collagenase responsible for the enzymatic degradation of type I collagen.
  • Hydration: +37% after 7 days and +35% after 28 days compared to placebo
  • Skin roughness: reduction of Stm and Sa parameters by 12% after 56 days compared to baseline
  • Desquamation (scaling): −79% compared to placebo after 28 days
  • Luminosity: +139% local skin brightness after 28 days compared to placebo
  • Gene expression: modulation of key genes of skin cells in vitro — SOD1/2 +34%, SIRT1 +65%, HNRNPD +130%, NQO1 +230%, DSG3 +106%.
  • Hypoallergenic and non-irritant — verified by HRIPT test. Free from fragrances, preservatives and ingredients of animal origin.
  • Readily biodegradable — 69% biodegradation after 28 days.

Suitable for products such as

  • Moisturizing creams, serums and essences for everyday skincare.
  • Anti-ageing formulations focused on collagen protection and cellular longevity — MMP1 inhibition, telomere protection.
  • Products for sensitive, reactive and atopic skin — hypoallergenic, free from preservatives and fragrances.
  • Soothing products and after-sun care — modulation of SOD1/2 strengthens antioxidant defence after UV exposure.
  • Products against desquamation of facial skin and scalp.
  • Eye creams and products for the delicate skin around the eyes.
  • Men’s facial care — hydration and protection after shaving.
  • Formulations certified according to COSMOS or NaTrue — Rejuvaveen meets the requirements of both standards.

Use in formulation

  • Recommended concentration: 1%. All clinical studies were carried out at this level.
  • Phase of addition: premix the powder in a small amount of cold water (5–10% of the total aqueous phase of the formula) and add the resulting smooth dispersion to the formulation after emulsification has finished, at a temperature below 45 °C. Rejuvaveen is stable up to 45 °C — higher temperatures may degrade beta-glucan.
  • pH window: 5.0–8.0. Compatible with a wide range of emulsion and gel formulations.
  • Compatible with non-ionic and anionic emulsifiers, carbomers, hydroxyethylcellulose, xanthan gum and silicone emulsions.
  • Not suitable for anhydrous systems (balms, oil serums, dry oils) — Rejuvaveen is exclusively water-dispersible.

Safety and storage

Store in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight. The powder is hygroscopic — always close the container tightly after each use and prevent contact with water during storage. The product is intended for external use only.


Frequently asked questions

Do I always have to premix Rejuvaveen in water before adding it to an emulsion?

Premixing is strongly recommended. Disperse the powder in a small amount of cold water (5–10% of the total water content in the formula) and add the resulting smooth dispersion to the finished emulsion at a temperature below 45 °C. Adding the powder directly to a hot emulsion may cause clumping and uneven distribution of beta-glucan throughout the bulk.


How does the oat beta-glucan in Rejuvaveen differ from yeast beta-glucan?

Oat beta-glucan has a linear structure with β-1,4 (70%) and β-1,3 (30%) glycosidic bonds, which allows it to penetrate through the intercellular matrix into the epidermis and dermis. Yeast beta-glucan (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) has β-1,3 and β-1,6 bonds — its primary use in cosmetics is immunomodulatory, not penetration-enhancing. These are two molecularly distinct substances with different mechanisms of action.


Can I include Rejuvaveen in a formulation with AHA acids (glycolic, lactic)?

Rejuvaveen is stable in the pH range 5.0–8.0. Formulations with AHA acids usually work at pH 3.5–4.5, which is below the recommended lower limit. If you want to use Rejuvaveen in such a formulation, we recommend checking the stability of the specific combination before scaling up to production — degradation of beta-glucan at lower pH cannot be ruled out.


Can I pre-prepare an aqueous dispersion of Rejuvaveen and store it for repeated use?

We do not recommend this. An aqueous dispersion without a preservative is not microbiologically stable and is prone to contamination. The powder, on the other hand, retains its stability over the long term when stored dry. For each batch, we recommend working directly with the powder — prepare the dispersion immediately before adding it to the formulation.


Why does Rejuvaveen contain starch and lipids in addition to beta-glucan? Is this intentional or a by-product of extraction?

It is intentional. The manufacturer Oat Cosmetics preserves the entire natural profile of oat bran — without separating the individual fractions. Starch contributes to the sensorial profile of the formulation, the lipid fraction (ceramides, triacylglycerols, sterols) synergistically complements the lipid mantle of the skin barrier. The result is an ingredient with a more complex effect than isolated beta-glucan would have.


Is Rejuvaveen compatible with hyaluronic acid, peptides or ceramides?

Yes. It acts synergistically with hyaluronic acid — hyaluronic acid retains water on the surface and in the upper layers of the epidermis, while oat beta-glucan penetrates deeper and acts at the cellular level. With ceramides, it complements the intrinsic lipid fraction of Rejuvaveen, thereby jointly supporting the integrity of the skin barrier. No incompatibility with peptides has been observed — as standard, we recommend verifying the stability of the combination in the specific formulation.
