Ingredients Details
Beta-glucan
Common Name(s): Beta-1,3/1,6-glucan,yeast beta-glucan,oat beta-glucan
CAS Number: 9041-22-9
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Reduces inflammation, deeply hydrates, stimulates collagen synthesis, accelerates wound healing.
Why It's Used: Used in anti-aging, sensitive skin, post-procedure, and eczema care for multi-action anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, and regenerative benefits.
How It Works: Binds to dectin-1 and cr3 receptors on macrophages and keratinocytes activating tgf-beta and collagen synthesis pathways. also activates macrophage phagocytosis for wound healing. humectant from polysaccharide hydroxyl groups.
Typically Found In: Anti-aging serums,sensitive skin products,post-procedure care,eczema treatments
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ polysaccharide / immunomodulator
Secondary Functions: Immunomodulator,wound healing,collagen stimulation
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%โ5%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ yeast or oat-derived
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Derived from saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast (1,3/1,6-linked) or avena sativa oats (1,3/1,4-linked). molecular weight affects penetration โ lower mw for skin penetration vs high mw for surface hydration.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; ideal for reactive and sensitive skin.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes โ particularly recommended for sensitive skin
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Ceramides,panthenol,allantoin,hyaluronic acid,centella asiatica
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Yeast beta-1,3/1,6-glucan receptor binding to dectin-1 on keratinocytes activates tgf-beta1, the key pro-collagen cytokine, stimulating fibroblast collagen production. this makes beta-glucan one of the few non-retinoid, non-peptide ingredients with direct receptor-mediated collagen stimulation.

Ceramides
Common Name(s): Ceramides,ceramide sphingolipid,sc barrier lipid
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Restores sc lamellar lipid bilayers, reduces trans-epidermal water loss, repairs barrier dysfunction in dry and eczematous skin, and strengthens the physical barrier against environmental irritants.
Why It's Used: Provides direct structural barrier lipid replacement โ unlike humectants that attract water, ceramides physically rebuild the lipid bilayer architecture required to retain moisture within the skin.
How It Works: Ceramides integrate into the sc intercellular lamellar bilayer, restoring the ordered orthorhombic packing disrupted in barrier-compromised skin. the sphingosine backbone's amide bond and hydroxyl groups form the h-bonding network that stabilises the lamellar structure.
Typically Found In: Barrier repair,dry skin,eczema-prone
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ emollient
Secondary Functions: Barrier sealing,softening
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.01%โ5%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Conditional
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Plant-derived, synthetic or animal-derived. verify source.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 1/5 โ low; formulation-dependent
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Humectants,ceramides,actives as carrier
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Sc ceramides comprise ~50% of the sc lipid mass (by weight) and are essential for barrier function; ceramide depletion in atopic dermatitis and aged skin is a primary driver of barrier dysfunction and tewl elevation.
