Yes, beta-glucan is good for your skin because it hydrates, smooths, and rejuvenates. It is one of the best anti-aging ingredients to soothe irritated skin, minimize fine lines, and lock in extra hydration. Whether you’re struggling with flaky skin, fine lines, or redness, it’s time to add beta-glucans to your daily skincare ritual. Here’s how to harness their power to heal your skin from within.
What is beta-glucan?
Beta-glucans are polysaccharide sugars derived from oats and yeast. They can also be found in the cell walls of mushrooms, plants, lichens, and algae. Beta-glucan supplements have long been used to treat health and medical conditions, including high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
In addition, as a safe, effective ingredient recognized by the FDA, beta-glucans can address a wide range of skin concerns, from rehydrating dry skin to smoothing fine lines.
Because beta-glucans are equipped with powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, skincare products that contain them can make all the difference for people with sensitive skin. And even though they’re ideal for people with compromised skin barriers, anyone can benefit from the healing powers of beta-glucans.

How does beta-glucan benefit skin?
They strengthen your skin’s moisture barrier, creating deep, long-lasting hydration that penetrates beyond the epidermal and dermal layers. Beta-glucan is a humectant, meaning it attracts moisture to the top layers of the skin and promotes skin barrier function. It locks hydration in and prevents moisture loss, contributing to smoother, more radiant skin.
In addition to their incredible hydration capabilities, beta-glucans can also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. As a result, adding beta-glucans to your daily skincare ritual can help you achieve beautiful, youthful-looking skin over time. They’re also capable of boosting collagen production, further reducing the signs of aging by improving your skin’s structure and overall health.
How To Add Beta-Glucan to Your Daily Skincare Ritual
From rehydrating flaky skin to combating aging, beta-glucan works double duty to revive your skin. And if your skin needs some extra TLC, you can incorporate it into every step of your skincare routine.
Because they come from oats, you’ll typically find beta-glucans in oat face masks, moisturizers, and serums. However, because of the immense benefits offered, it’s not only oat-based skincare products that contain the miracle ingredient (you might see it written as ꞵ-glucans on an ingredient list).

Swapping your current skincare products for alternatives rich in beta-glucan can help you take advantage of the full hydrating benefits. Many products that contain it, including hydrogel face masks, are also formulated with natural ingredients to maintain hydration even more, such as collagen and squalane.
You can maximize your skincare benefits by pairing your beta-glucan products with an amethyst gemstone face roller. Give yourself a mini massage after applying your toner, serum, or moisturizer. Using a gemstone roller helps distribute your skincare products more evenly while promoting deeper penetration into your skin.
