Simply put, it can act as a moisturizer. The tiny particles that make up colloidal oatmeal’s composition give it the ability to create a barrier that can help seal the skin and prevent water loss.

Eczema is a condition that disrupts the skin barrier and people affected by it tend to have very dry skin, coupled with itching and irritation. One of the ways to relieve this discomfort is by replenishing the skin with moisture.
