HA is a humectant — a substance that retains moisture — and it is capable of binding over one thousand times its weight in water. This substance is naturally found in many areas of the human body, including the skin, eyes, and synovial fluid of the joints. HA used in beauty and skincare products is primarily made by bacteria in a lab via a process called biofermentation.

As we age, the production of key substances in the skin, including hyaluronic acid (along with collagen and elastin) decreases. As a result, our skin loses volume, hydration, and plumpness. (Source: Harvard Healthy Publishing)

Beta-glucans are polysaccharide sugars found in cell walls, derived from various mushrooms, plants, algae, yeasts, and oats.

In skincare, beta-glucans are safe and effective ingredients recognized by the US FDA. They can address a variety of concerns, from soothing reactive skin to smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. Beta-glucans have antioxidant properties and are anti-inflammatory, they are excellent ingredients for improving the look of redness and other signs of reactive skin.

They are phenomenal with healing broken skin such as a rash, cut or burn. Not only are they 20x more hydrating than any hyaluronic acid on the market but they have a variety of different pro's to them that don't just focus on hydrating but also healing and anti aging.
