What it does
Sodium Carboxymethyl Betaglucan is a modified, water-soluble form of beta-glucan (a sugar polymer from yeast or oats). It holds water at the skin surface and forms a light smoothing film, so it is used as a humectant and texture agent. It is a hydration-and-texture ingredient rather than a skin active.
