&bgr;-glucans are incorporated with liposomes in therapeutic compositions for topical application to prevent or alleviate the conditions and symptoms of cosmetic and dermatologic disorders. In particular, &bgr;-glucan is combined with liposomes to increase the penetration of the &bgr;-glucan into the skin, to provide hydration of the skin during treatment. The deeper penetration of the &bgr;-glucan increases macrophage activity to remove scar tissue, dead skin cells and other foreign debris as well as stimulating collagen growth to improve skin health.
