Oat allergies may happen in kids with sensitive skin

If your kids have sensitive skin, you may want to keep many skin products out of reach. Specifically, those that contain oat products in any form. Oats are great to eat (if not refined), but are also great for their abrasive ability in skin products. That is, to all those who don't have sensitive skin or or allergies.

A new study from France showed that nearly one-third of over 300 kids had some kind of reaction to skin products that contain oats. Whether their skin was sensitive just to oats or if an oat allergy was being observed remains a little unclear.

The good news is that most commercial skin products made just for kids don't contain oats from what I have seen. Oats are generally reserved for adult skin products are a marketing tool.
