FORMULATION GUIDELINES
| INCI | Beta-Glucan |
|---|---|
| Source | Yeast derived |
| Type | Water-soluble polysaccharide active |
| Solubility | Water soluble |
| Use Rate | 0.1–1.0% typical. 0.2–0.5% for everyday soothing. 0.6–1.0% for stronger barrier support positioning. |
| pH Compatibility | We recommend pH 4.5–7.5 for best overall performance in leave on skincare. |
| Temperature Tolerance | Hydrates well at room temperature with time. For faster dissolution, use warm water (below 60°C) and steady mixing. |
| Pro Tip | Pre-mix the powder with glycerin or propanediol to reduce clumping, then add into the water phase with mixing. Allow full hydration before final viscosity adjustments. In clear serums, keep the use level moderate and filter only if your process requires it, because over-processing can reduce body. |
| Appearance | Off-white to light cream powder |
| Stability Notes | Ensure strong preservation in high water systems. Run accelerated stability and micro testing for commercial batches. |
| Storage | Keep sealed, cool and dry. Protect from humidity. |
