Beta glucan

Avenanthramides

Ceapro – Our Value Drivers

Beta Glucan

15

• Beta glucan is a soluble fibre found in the call walls of oat kernels

• Acts as a natural moisture barrier and film-forming agent

• Relieves and alleviates dry and itchy skin by replenishing and protecting the skin’s moisture barrier

• Provides hydration against the drying effects of the sun

• Smoothens wrinkles, reducing the visible signs of ageing

• Ceapro was the first to

demonstrate that high

molecular weight beta

glucan can penetrate human

skin.

• Dermatology applications

range from anti-ageing to

wound healing.

• New highly purified beta

glucan powder successfully

developed to address new

market demands/trends.

16

Beta Glucan in Cosmeceuticals

Natural Skin Restructuring Agent

• Proven to effectively reduces

fine lines & wrinkles

• Forms a natural barrier

protecting skin

• Wound healing agent – films

or gels

• Sustained release of active

agents requiring enhanced

percutaneous transportation

17

Avenanthramides

• Antihistamine and anti-

inflammatory properties

• Potential benefits in the

control of inflammation-

based diseases

18

Avenanthramides Clinically Proven in Cosmeceuticals

• 40% improvement in itch

perception after 1 week

• 62% of patients showed an

improvement in their skin

condition

Significant improvements in

erythema symptoms associated

in subjects with mild to

moderate atopic dermatitis

Subjects with atopy

• 89% of subjects saw

significant improvement in

itch after 1 week

• Continued improvement

after 4 weeks

19

Skin inflammation is a complex physiological process Beta glucan

• Accelerates tissue healing

• Deep hydrating agent

• Improves elasticity

• Natural film protective barrier

Avenanthramides

• Relief from itching (Pruritus)

• Reduces inflammation and swelling

• Reduces redness (Erythema)

Our Value Drivers – Advanced Skin Care

Robust Growth Strategy

21

Cosmeceuticals

• Generate scientific data to support current product indications

• Pursue new indications for current product portfolio from research programs

• Develop new products in accordance with needs expressed by customers

• Improve manufacturing technologies

• Look for ability to develop co-products

Nutraceuticals

• Produce 2nd generations of current products (higher concentrations, powder versions, etc)

• Capture bigger margins

Pharmaceuticals

• Produce 3rd generations of current products (higher concentrations, powder versions, etc)

• Conduct formulation work and assess potential for pharmaceutical development

Beta Glucan in Nutraceuticals and Pharmaceuticals

• Potential reduction of cardiovascular and heart diseases risk

o Acts to decrease LDL and total cholesterol

• Proprietary beta glucan drug-delivery platform

o Shown to effectively penetrate into the skin, into the deep

layers as well as into the skin cells

o Uses ranging from wound care and therapy, to skin care

treatments that reduce the signs of aging

22

Avenanthramides in Nutraceuticals and Pharmaceuticals

• Avenanthramides shown to

attenuate exercise-induced

inflammation in animal studies

• Human clinical studies showed that

dietary avenanthramides

supplements significantly reduced

inflammation biomarkers in an

elderly population

• New process technology licensed

from Agriculture and Agri-Food

Canada (AAFC)
