Why Beta-Glucan Is the Essential Ingredient in Your Routine This Summer

Sun, heat, salt, air conditioning… Summer can be a real ordeal for your skin. Tightness, redness, dehydration, loss of radiance: your skin barrier is put to the test. This is where a still largely unknown hero comes in: beta-glucan .

What is beta-glucan?

Naturally found in oats, mushrooms, and certain yeasts, beta-glucan is a polysaccharide with powerful restorative properties. It acts as a true skin shield , while remaining extremely gentle , even for the most sensitive skin.

Why is it essential in summer?

1. Intelligent Hydration

Unlike some active ingredients that saturate the skin, beta-glucan works deep down to retain moisture and improve skin elasticity . It hydrates better than high-gravity hyaluronic acid, while being non-sticky and non-greasy. Ideal for use in the sun.

2. Immediate Relief

Beta-glucan soothes overheated, irritated, or sun-exposed skin. It reduces redness and discomfort – perfect after a day at the beach or in the city.

3. Strengthening of the skin barrier

It stimulates cell regeneration and helps the skin defend itself against external aggressors (UV rays, pollution, salt, chlorine, etc.). The result: more resilient, softer, and naturally radiant skin.
