Yeast Beta-Glucan

Product Description

Green Stone Swiss supplies cosmetic-grade Yeast Beta-Glucan isolated from yeast cell-wall carbohydrate as a high-purity β-(1,3)/(1,6)-glucan fraction for bulk skincare. Direct factory production targets a defined polysaccharide active rather than a whole-yeast extract, with GMP-aligned release, batch COA, TDS, and free samples for hydration, dispersion, and viscosity checks before scale-up.

Yeast Beta-Glucan is the carbohydrate fraction obtained from the hydrolysis of yeast. CosIng lists film forming, skin conditioning, and viscosity controlling. In leave-on systems the hydrated polymer forms a light water-binding film on the stratum corneum, supporting TEWL control, barrier comfort, and a soothed skin feel (Typical). Source is typically Saccharomyces cerevisiae; because this is a polymeric fraction rather than a single molecule, β-glucan assay and solubility grade are confirmed on the batch COA.

Formulators specify Yeast Beta-Glucan in barrier serums, sensitive-skin creams, essences, masks, and eye-area textures that need a yeast-derived polysaccharide with film-forming and skin-conditioning performance. GSS factory-direct supply supports sample-to-production replenishment with technical documentation.

Key Benefits & Applications

Yeast Beta-Glucan is a CosIng-listed film-forming, skin-conditioning polysaccharide used in professional barrier and sensitive-skin formulas.

• Forms a light hydrated film that supports TEWL control and surface moisture retention
• Skin-conditioning yeast β-glucan for barrier comfort in leave-on aqueous systems
• Supports a soothed, less tight skin feel in sensitive-skin and recovery-oriented textures (Typical)
• Compatible with serums, essences, creams, masks, and eye-area hydrating systems
• Water-phase polysaccharide with formulation compatibility versus oil-soluble film formers
• Typical use level: 0.1–2.0% as powder; liquid grades follow supplier assay

Formulation Guidelines

Hydrate Yeast Beta-Glucan fully before adjusting viscosity so the polysaccharide film develops evenly.

• Suggested Use Level: Typical 0.1–2.0% powder in final formulation; confirm liquid-grade solids on COA
• pH Range: Suggested 4.5–7.5
• Addition: Predisperse in water or glycerin; hydrate in the water phase below 60°C with gentle mixing (Typical)
• Compatibility: Compatible with hyaluronates, glycerin, niacinamide, and emulsion systems; avoid prolonged high shear after full hydration; preserve high-water formulas adequately
• Combine with Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer for complementary polysaccharide film plus polymeric water binding.
