Everything you need to know about Beta-Glucan
Beta-Glucan is a natural polysaccharide, often derived from oats or yeast, known for its soothing and hydrating properties. It helps skin look calm, comfortable and protected, and suits sensitive-skin formulas.
What are the benefits of Beta-Glucan for the skin?
Beta-Glucan helps ease dryness and discomfort while forming a light hydrating layer.
Its soothing and conditioning properties make it relevant for sensitive skin or a compromised-feeling barrier.
When should you use Beta-Glucan
Skincare containing Beta-Glucan can be used in both morning and evening routines. Consistent use matters more than choosing a particular time of day.
Apply products from the lightest to the richest texture, finishing with moisturizer. In the morning, complete the routine with sunscreen to help protect the results of your skincare.
Is Beta-Glucan suitable for sensitive skin
Beta-Glucan can be used by a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin, when formulated at an appropriate level. It does not work by exfoliating the skin.
Comfort still depends on the complete product. Perform a patch test before regular use if your skin is highly sensitive or easily reactive.
Can Beta-Glucan be used with other actives?
Beta-Glucan can be used in formulas with Panthenol, Centella Asiatica Extract, Ceramide NP, and Hyaluronic Acid. This combination does not require a special waiting period unless the product directions say otherwise.
These pairings can complement hydration, barrier care, or targeted treatment. Introduce the routine gradually if it also contains strong active ingredients.
