Beta-glucan-the ingredient has not told anyone

Have you heard of Beta-Glucan?

If you are someone who reads ingredient labels, shops for clean beauty products and wants your skin care to give you noticeable results, you know how it goes.

You probably had that moment when you stand in the aisle of the skin care or to a shopping page staring with the question: But does this really work?

At CV SkinLabs we know that you want clean beauty products with non-irritating ingredients and that you want to avoid all those difficult chemicals in your skin care. But we also know that you want natural ingredients supported by real results, and that is why we have chosen Beta-Glucan as an important part of our healing formulas.

Although not as well-known as retinol or hyaluronic acid, Beta-Glucan offers equally impressive benefits, especially for sensitive, stressed or dry skin. In this message we help you understand what this ingredient is, where it comes from and why it is exactly what your skin needs.

What is Beta-Glucan?

Beta-Glucan is a natural polysaccharide (a type of sugar molecule) found in the cell walls of certain plants, fungi, yeasts and grains. It naturally appears in sources such as oats, barley, mushrooms, seaweed and even the yeast of Baker. (At CV SkinLabs we use gluten -free oats in all our formulas.)

Depending on where you get your beta-glucan, it can behave a little differently. For example, Gist derived Bèta-Glucan has been extensively studied for his wound healing properties. For skin care products it is usually extracted from oats or mushrooms because these molecules are easily recognized and absorbed by the skin.

You may have heard that you can use oats to calm itchy or irritated skin. It is actually the beta-glucan in the oats that do most of the work when it comes to repairing, rejuvenating and calming the skin.

Initially, manufacturers only identified beta-glucan with his immune reinforcement. Later, however, they discovered the many benefits when they were applied topically to the skin.

Why we opted for Beta-Glucan for central heating skinlabs

Our mission at CV SkinLabs has always been to create safe, effective, caring skin care products that can restore the skin and become healthier and youthful. We need a lot of time to investigate every ingredient, because we wanted to ensure that it would not only be safe for sensitive skin, but would also help to make our products effective.

Beta-Glucan matches our philosophy to support the natural healing processes of the skin instead of overwhelming them. It does not masse problems or offers temporary solutions. It works at a cellular level to help strengthen, protect and rejuvenate the skin from within.

What does Beta-Glucan do for your skin?

Below we have included some of the most powerful benefits that Beta-Glucan can have on your skin.

1. Deep hydration (even better than hyaluronic acid)

Beta-Glucan is a moisture, which means that it helps to put on water and bind to your skin. Just like hyaluronic acid, it helps to maintain moisture in the skin, making it less likely to dry out all day long.

Even better, because the ingredient is easily accepted by the skin, it can sink in the deeper layers and supplies moisture there while creating a protective film on the surface to catch moisture. If you are dealing with tight, dry or flaky skin, this ingredient can help to restore a smoother, more dew -like look.

2. Strengthens the skin barrier

The outer layer of the skin is the first line of defense. In the course of time this layer can be affected by pollution, overuitexforation, weather and aging. It can develop cracks and fractures, making it less capable of retaining moisture or to protect the skin against invaders from outside or irritating substances.

Beta-Glucan helps to restore and strengthen that barrier by stimulating the production of essential lipids (fats) and proteins that keep skin cells together. It helps the skin to retain moisture and block irritating substances, leading to a healthier, resilient skin.

3. Changes and soothes sensitive skin

Beta-Glucan can naturally reduce redness, inflammation and discomfort. That is why it is often used in formulas made for post-recovery or very delicate skin.

The ingredient interacts with immune cells in the skin to help tame the immune response. For example, if your skin is red and irritated, Beta-Glucan can, for example, help to keep it calm and comfortable because of environmental stress or the general wear of life.

4. Promotes wound healing and skin repair

You may not realize it, but your skin constantly works to repair itself. Often, during the night hours, while you rest, it is all problems that it encountered during the day. Beta-Glucan helps to support this process by accelerating recovery from wounds, cuts and burns, encouraging cell turnover and collagen production.

That means that it is perfect for anyone who has to deal with damaged skin, whether it is caused by acne, cosmetic treatments or chronic dryness. Especially when it is applied at night, it offers the skin the support it needs to regenerate more efficiently.

5. Boost collagen and reduces signs of aging

Because of the ability to stimulate collagen and improve skin repair, Beta-Glucan also helps to smooth the fine lines and improve skin elasticity. Used regularly, it can promote a firmer, more youthful looking skin. Because it helps to keep hydration deep in the skin at the same time, it naturally becomes fine lines and improves texture without the need for hard anti-aging products.

6. Supplies antioxidant protection

Free radicals are unstable molecules due to pollution, stress, inner metabolism and sun exposure that can break down skin cells and accelerate aging. Beta-Glucan is actually a kind of antioxidant, which means that it helps to neutralize these free radicals before they can cause their damage.

It is probably not an antioxidant that you have heard of, but in combination with vitamin E it helps to defend the integrity of your skin and helps to stay strong and lively.

Nature + science = radiant skin

At CV SkinLabs we believe that nature often holds the keys to powerful healing, and that science helps us to unlock those benefits. Beta-Glucan is a perfect example of a natural ingredient that is supported by scientific research, so that results that you can see and feel.

It is one of the reasons why our customers tell us that their skin feels better, looks healthier and becomes more resilient after using our products.
