Key ingredients explained
Glycerin
HumectantA small humectant that attracts and holds water in the stratum corneum, delivered into the epidermis partly via aquaporin-3. It raises hydration, improves plasticity and desquamation, and supports barrier recovery — one of the best-evidenced moisturizing agents.
In the guideBeta-Glucan
SoothingA naturally derived polysaccharide whose structure forms a moisture-retaining film, while also acting as an immunomodulator (via Dectin-1) that regulates inflammatory mediators and stimulates keratinocyte repair. It combines humectant, soothing, and wound-healing activity.
