Product Introduction

Yeast Beta Glucan is a polysaccharide with immune-enhancing properties, specifically beta-glucan, which is found in yeast cell walls. Beta-glucan is widely present in various fungi and plants, such as Agaricus americanus, shiitake mushrooms, Ganoderma lucidum, and oatmeal.

 

In cosmetics, yeast β-glucan is used for skin repair, moisturization, and improving skin firmness, elasticity, and smoothness. Due to its extensive skin benefits, it has been widely incorporated into various cosmetic products, including face creams, serums, sunscreens, and after-sun repair formulations. Some high-end skincare products use yeast beta glucan as a core ingredient to enhance repairing and moisturizing effects.

 

Application Characteristics

Extensive scientific research has demonstrated the efficacy of yeast β-glucan in cosmetics, primarily in the following aspects:

 

Enhancing the Skin Barrier
Yeast β-glucan strengthens skin cell adhesion and differentiation, improving the integrity of the skin barrier. It effectively defends against external environmental stressors, reducing skin sensitivity and inflammation.

 

Promoting Skin Repair
Yeast β-glucan activates macrophages and other immune cells by binding to the Dectin-1 receptor, promoting wound healing and accelerating skin recovery, allowing the skin to return to a healthy state more quickly.

 

Moisturization and Sun Protection
The modified yeast beta glucan aqueous solution not only provides hydration similar to traditional humectants like hyaluronic acid but also offers additional sun protection and restorative effects, reducing UV-induced skin damage.

 

Boosting Immunity
Yeast Beta Glucan stimulates the body’s immune system and enhances macrophage activity, strengthening the skin's defense mechanisms and preventing infections and inflammation.

 

Anti-Aging
Yeast Beta Glucan possesses strong antioxidant properties, neutralizing free radicals and inhibiting lipid peroxidation, thereby slowing down the skin’s aging process.

 

Balancing the Skin Microbiome
Yeast Beta Glucan promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, helps build a microbial barrier, and stabilizes the skin, reducing various skin issues.

 

Reducing Fine Lines & Preventing Photo-Aging
Yeast Beta Glucan stimulates collagen production and cell renewal, protects the skin from free radical damage, and has anti-photo-aging effects, helping to reduce fine lines.
