Oat Beta-Glucan is a natural polysaccharide derived from oats, prized for its exceptional skin-soothing, hydrating, and protective properties. Known for its ability to improve the skin barrier and reduce irritation, it is a hero ingredient in sensitive skin, after-sun, and anti-aging formulations.
Oat Beta-Glucan is one of the most effective natural actives for skin hydration and repair. Its high molecular weight forms a protective film on the skin, locking in moisture, while its antioxidant and soothing properties make it ideal for calming irritated or stressed skin. Research also shows Beta-Glucan’s ability to stimulate collagen production, helping reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
