What is it

What is Beta Glucan?

Beta glucan is a naturally derived polysaccharide extracted primarily from oats or yeast. It has a long history in medicine and dermatology, studied for wound-healing, immune-modulating, and barrier-strengthening properties. Beta glucan is structurally capable of penetrating deeper into the skin than many other hydrating ingredients, delivering moisture and antioxidant benefits at a level that supports true barrier function.

Benefits

What does Beta Glucan do for your skin?

Beta glucan stimulates the skin's own healing response while also scavenging free radicals. Key actions include:

Strengthens the skin barrier and reduces transepidermal water loss
Provides antioxidant protection against UV-induced and environmental free radicals
Soothes redness, irritation, and inflammation
Supports post-procedure healing and recovery
Penetrates more effectively than many surface humectants for deep hydration

How to use

How does Beta Glucan fit your routine?

Beta glucan is most commonly found in moisturizers, essences, and barrier repair products for daily morning and evening use. It is particularly valuable during and after active ingredient use or following in-office procedures.

Who should use it

Who should use Beta Glucan?

Particularly valuable for sensitive, reactive, eczema-adjacent, and post-procedure skin, and for anyone using retinol or strong acids. Gentle enough for the most reactive skin types.
