Frequently Asked Questions about Beta-Glucan
What is beta-glucan and why is it used in skincare?
Beta-glucan is a natural polysaccharide found in sources like oats, barley, mushrooms, and seaweed. It forms a protective, moisture-retaining film on the skin and has been thoroughly studied for its soothing and hydrating properties. Beta-glucan is safe for all skin types and especially beneficial for dry or sensitive skin.
What are the benefits of beta-glucan for the skin?
Beta-glucan deeply hydrates the skin, even more effectively than hyaluronic acid. It reduces redness, calms irritation, and helps repair the skin barrier. It also provides antioxidant protection and has anti-aging benefits — helping smooth fine lines and improve elasticity.
Is beta-glucan suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Yes! Beta-glucan is extremely gentle and well-tolerated, even by sensitive or acne-prone skin. Its soothing and healing properties make it ideal for calming irritation, reducing inflammation, and supporting post-acne recovery or aftercare following exfoliating treatments.
How do you use beta-glucan in your skincare routine?
Beta-glucan is commonly found in serums, ampoules, and moisturizers. Apply it after cleansing and toning, and before heavier creams. It's ideal in both day and night routines, especially if you're looking for hydration and barrier repair.
