For adults this ingredient is usually safe when used on the skin. It helps moisturize and soften skin, and experts consider its overall risk to be low.
If you are an adult trying a product with hydrolyzed oat protein: patch test a small area first (apply a little on your inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours). Use products as directed and avoid putting them on open cuts or raw skin. If you use many products or consume foods with oat proteins, be aware overall exposure may increase.
Watch for skin redness, itching, swelling or any sign of an allergic reaction; this advice comes from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review's note that allergy risks are not fully assessed. If you have a known oat allergy, avoid products with oat proteins. Also note that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration flags that this ingredient can appear in foods and other products, so total exposure from multiple sources can add up. Some product verification programs may require extra documentation from manufacturers before allowing this ingredient in verified products—ask the brand if you are concerned.
