酵母精華/Yeast Glucan
酵母精華是由酵母發酵過程中提取的天然多糖體（又稱葡聚多醣）。葡聚多醣常源自於酵母，菇蕈類等細胞壁中，但以酵母中含量最高。葡聚多醣能透過刺激巨噬細胞，促進人體對病毒，細菌，霉菌的防禦能力，從而增強人體免疫力。
用於護膚品時，葡聚多醣能增強皮膚抵禦能力，減輕皮膚脫皮、紅腫、痕癢等刺激反應，並促進皮膚新陳代謝，修復受損組織。葡聚多醣亦有很好的抗氧化能力，防止肌膚老化，減淡皺紋及色斑，保持肌膚嫩滑。
The Yeast Glucan is a polysaccharide sugar, extracted during yeast’s fermentation process. Also known as β-glucan, it is usually found in the cell walls of yeast, mushrooms, etc. β-glucan boosts human immune system through the stimulating activity of macrophages, which are scavenger cells that search for and destroy pathogens.
In skin care, β-glucan strengthens natural skin barrier, repairs damaged skin and soothes irritated skin (peeling, redness and itching). It also stimulates skin metabolism and thereby helps in the renewal of cells. And, acting as a strong antioxidant, β-glucan also protects against oxidative stress that can cause early ageing, keeps skin free from wrinkles and pigment spots, and makes it soft and smooth.
