Soothing: Beta-glucan has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can help to soothe and calm irritated skin. It is also known to promote wound healing.

Anti-aging: Beta-glucan can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and improve skin elasticity. It is thought to do this by stimulating collagen production and protecting the skin from free radical damage.
