Description

AquaGlucan is a 100% natural product derived from the fermentation of the edible mushroom Schizophyllum commune. Beta-glucans are natural glucose polymers known to promote skin health due to their moisturizing effect, antioxidant activity, anti-wrinkle activity, and wound healing capacity. AquaGlucan works by forming a protective film on the skin that retains water and activates cell proliferation. It is clinically proven to provide both immediate and long-term moisturization while acting as an anti-aging and anti-redness agent. Furthermore, it is shown to inhibit cell stress responses and accelerate collagen synthesis in human fibroblasts, making it a highly multifunctional active for naturally supple and healthy skin.

Application & Use

Water-based gels

Water-based gels, serums, lotions, gel-creams, face and body moisturizers, overnight treatments, face masks and wipes, and after-shaving products.
