Contipro Carboxymethylglucan

Carboxymethylglucan (CMG) belongs to the group of (1→3)-β-D glucans, which are substances of natural origin characterized by significant immunomodulatory and antioxidant effects. These mechanisms enable CMG to regulate the negative effects of acute UV radiation, which, during in vivo studies, revealed a positive influence on skin texture and elasticity.

Features & Benefits

Production of CMG in Contipro
  • Sustainable Biotech Production
    • CMG is obtained by chemical modification of insoluble beta-glucan isolated from the cell walls of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) cultivated in special growth medium under well-defined conditions.
  • Enviromental Friendly Production
    • Everything we make is biodegradable.
    • We have our own solar power plant and wastewater treatment plant.
    • Our buildings are heated with residual energy from our production operations.
Additional Advantages of CMG
  • Anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties
  • Skin microbiome support
  • Hydration and skin barrier improvement
  • Wrinkle reduction
  • Anti-pollution effect
