Beta-glucan

Beta-glucan is a natural polysaccharide found in sources like oats, barley, mushrooms, and seaweed. It forms a protective, moisture-retaining film on the skin and has been thoroughly studied for its soothing and hydrating properties. Beta-glucan is safe for all skin types and especially beneficial for dry or sensitive skin.

Beta-glucan deeply hydrates the skin, even more effectively than hyaluronic acid. It reduces redness, calms irritation, and helps repair the skin barrier. It also provides antioxidant protection and has anti-aging benefits — helping smooth fine lines and improve elasticity.

Yes! Beta-glucan is extremely gentle and well-tolerated, even by sensitive or acne-prone skin. Its soothing and healing properties make it ideal for calming irritation, reducing inflammation, and supporting post-acne recovery or aftercare following exfoliating treatments.

Beta-glucan is commonly found in serums, ampoules, and moisturizers. Apply it after cleansing and toning, and before heavier creams. It's ideal in both day and night routines, especially if you're looking for hydration and barrier repair.

Customer favorites include the iUNIK Beta-Glucan Daily Moisture Cream and the iUNIK Beta-Glucan Power Moisture Serum. You’ll also find beta-glucan in soothing formulas like the Isntree Mugwort Calming Cream, perfect for reducing redness and reinforcing the skin barrier.
