‎DESCRIPTION: Beta Glucan is an underrated active that can be derived from several natural substances. Cosmetic raw materials produced through yeast fermentation give exceptional skin moisturizing and conditioning effects. In one study, yeast beta glucan increased keratinocytes proliferation by 12% in 48 hours

Yeast Beta Glucan is so unique because of the cell wall of yeasts, which contains a lot of glycans with immune-stimulating action. The efficacy of Yeast Beta-glucan lies in its activation of the skin’s natural immune system, making it beta able to deal with pathogens and stop an infection before it gets out of hand. This makes it beneficial in the treatment of skin infections such as acne. Other factors, such as ageing, UV light, and psychological stress can adversely affect the immune system. Yeast Beta Glucan “wakes up” the macrophages and Langerhans cells, helping to keep the skin healthy.

Yeast Beta Glucan reduces the tendency of the skin to be inflamed. It has a regenerating, wound-healing support activity, helping the skin to repair itself.

The yeast cell wall is composed of 50-58% beta-glucan, which gives them strength and structure. In the same, yeast beta-glucan imparts strength, improved elasticity, and collagen formation on human skin. Yeast-Beta Glucan activates the skin’s Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), promoting collagen production and boosting skin elasticity. Its anti-inflammatory action prevents damage to the skin and improves the effect of sun protection.

Dedicated use of Yeast Beta-Glucan gives a pronounced improvement in the skin’s elasticity, firmness, and smoothness. It can be used to upgrade all sorts of skin care treatments such as cleansers, reducing their irritation potential, dry skin, anti-ageing skin treatments, anti-inflammatory, skin soothing treatment, skin rejuvenation, and brightening, etc

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO KINDS OF BETA-GLUCANS WE STOCK

Oat Beta Glucan: Oat Beta Glucan is best for reducing redness, irritation and itchy skin.

Yeast Beta Glucan: Yeast Beta Glucan is great for blemished skin and uneven skin texture. It gives clarity and is more readily soluble in water compared to Oat Beta Glucan
