ANTI-POLLUTION
shampoo, massaging for 30 seconds, leave for two minutes; rinsing with water for 30 seconds at 37°C and natural drying of the tress. The hair shine measurement was taken
before and after hair treatment. Measurement of specular reflection gloss was performed by a glossmeter. Shine is determined by projecting a beam of light at a fixed intensity and angled onto a surface and measuring the amount of reflected light at an equal but opposite angle. Images from the surface of the hair were
taken with a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) before and after shampoo use are shown in Figure 3. Figure 3 images show that the use of a shampoo with 0.5% oat oil flattened the hair cuticles, in comparison to untreated hairs. Softer hair cuticles reflect more light and smooth hair. Oat oil provide significant higher gloss levels. The results demonstrate that the shine of
the hair is improved with application of oat oil, resulting in healthy-looking hair. As the SEM images show, silicone does not seal the cuticle layer of the hair shaft, so shine is not increased. Silicone forms an additional layer and will ‘sit’ on the surface of the hair. Silicone will not allow the shampoo to penetrate the hair. Instead, it will weigh the hair down, making it limp and dull.
Oat oil is rich in oleic acid, linoleic acid, and
tocotrienols and tocopherols (Vitamin E). Its nutrient-rich nature will nourish and strengthen hair, creating the ideal conditions to increase hair shine. Oat oil can be claimed as being a natural replacement to synthetic ingredients in haircare products like silicones where shine, lustre and a strengthening effect are needed.
Oat oil applications in hair care Oat oil is suitable for applications such as shine conditioner, hair protection oil treatment, hair repair masks, hair sun protection spray, detangle shampoo. Table 2 gives an example of application oat oil in a hair protection spray. This formulation demonstrates the exciting opportunities for this unique oat oil, resulting in protected, smooth hair with a healthy shine.

Conclusion The results show that damaging the hair with sun UV exposure results in a loss of ceramides throughout the hair shaft and that application of Oat Lipid e, prior to the exposure, helps to protect the ceramide loss. While hair ceramides are not directly involved in protecting the hair from UV light, they contribute to overall hair health, which can indirectly minimize the impact of sun damage. Healthy hair with well-maintained cuticles is
better able to resist external stressors, including sun exposure. Oat oil is therefore a promising cosmetic ingredient to prevent hair ceramide degradation and to protect from the harmful effect of the sun, resulting in shiny, strong hair.
