SODIUM CARBOXYMETHYL BETAGLUCAN
Sodium Carboxymethyl Beta-Glucan is a water-soluble derivative of beta-glucan—a natural polysaccharide derived from microorganisms such as yeasts or fungi. In cosmetic formulations, beta-glucan has a moisturizing effect and forms a smooth film on the skin that supports its barrier function and protects the skin from moisture loss. At the same time, it can activate immune cells such as macrophages, thereby promoting skin regeneration—for example, after stress or irritation. Clinical data show that beta-glucan can soothe the skin, reduce redness, and accelerate regeneration. (1–4)
