What Is Oat Beta-Glucan?
Oat Beta-Glucan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in oats, known for its exceptional soothing and healing properties. It forms a protective film on skin while stimulating collagen synthesis and wound healing.
This ingredient penetrates the epidermis to provide deep hydration while activating immune cells that support skin repair. It is particularly valuable for sensitive and compromised skin.
