Beta-glucan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide derived from sources like oats, mushrooms, and yeast.
In skincare, it is known for its ability to hydrate, soothe, and support the skin’s protective barrier making it especially valuable for sensitive, compromised, or inflamed skin.
Why It Matters
-
Deep Hydration
Beta-glucan draws moisture into the skin and helps retain it—providing long-lasting hydration without heaviness.
-
Barrier Strengthening
It helps reduce trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and reinforces the skin’s natural defense against environmental stressors.
-
Calming & Anti-Inflammatory
Known for its soothing properties, beta-glucan helps ease redness and irritation, making it ideal for reactive skin.
-
Antioxidant Support
With antioxidant benefits, beta-glucan helps protect the skin from free radical damage and supports overall skin resilience and elasticity.
