Oat Beta Glucan

Description

DESCRIPTION:

Oat Beta-Glucan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide derived from oats, known for its exceptional moisturizing, soothing, and skin-repairing properties. It is a powerful active used in a wide range of skincare formulations, particularly for sensitive, mature, or damaged skin. With its strong affinity for water, Beta-Glucan acts as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin and providing long-lasting hydration. It also forms a protective film, helping to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and shield the skin from environmental stressors.
