TR Pro+

A hydrogel that helps damaged skin by creating an environment that supports the healing process. TR Pro+® hydrates skin internally whilst providing a barrier to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

Key Ingredients

Beta-glucan (Glucoprime®) – a naturally derived sugar that is purified from the cell wall of baker’s yeast which has immunomodulatory properties that support skin regeneration

Triethanolamine – balances the pH of the gel to avoid irritation to your skin
Carbomer – allows the gel to retain water to provide you with a soothing texture and leave your skin looking bright
Neutral pH, no parabens or fragrances means TR Pro+® is suitable for most skin types
What is Glucoprime®
The active ingredient of TR Pro+® is Glucoprime® which is a beta-glucan purified from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ie: baker’s yeast) which is used to bake bread and brew beer.  Beta-glucans are commonly found in fungi, plants and bacteria where they are a key component of the cell wall.  Beta-glucans are almost totally made of sugar, with glucose being the sugar most commonly used.

There is enormous diversity in the way the millions of glucose units are linked together and their spatial location relative to adjacent molecules (Vetvicka et al. 2019). Up until recently, the extraction of beta-glucan has been difficult and expensive due to the challenges associated with retaining the complex branched structure of the molecule.
