Yeast Beta Glucan is a powerful, multifunctional active that supports skin barrier repair, deep hydration, and visible reduction in redness and irritation. Derived from the cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, this high-purity powder is rich in Beta-1,3/1,6-glucans, known for their ability to stimulate skin immunity, promote rejuvenation, and protect against environmental stressors.
