Role: PLANT EXTRACTS
Family: PLANT EXTRACTS Mushroom
Comedogenic index: 0
Tremella Fuciformis extract is derived from the Tremella Fuciformis mushroom, also known as snow fungus or white jelly fungus.
Tremella, a fungus, has some interesting characteristics for skin care. Let's take a look at its potential benefits.
Snow mushrooms have moisturizing and antioxidant properties.
Rich in polysaccharides, snow mushrooms offer moisturizing benefits. As a humectant, this fungus draws moisture from the air to the skin. Polysaccharides can mimic our skin's natural carbohydrates to help retain water.
Snow mushrooms have been shown to help fight ageing thanks to their antioxidants.
A study has shown that snow mushroom extract blocks the creation of melanin by the skin when exposed to UVB rays
Composition:
Tremella contains proteins, vitamin D, polysaccharides, amino acids, minerals and glycogen, all of which can be beneficial to the epidermis.
Hydration :
Dehydration can affect the health and appearance of the skin. The polysaccharides present in Tremella appear to promote water retention on the skin's surface, which may help maintain proper hydration.
The contribution of hyaluronic acid:
Hyaluronic acid, present in the dermis, plays an essential role in skin hydration. As we age, its production tends to decline. Tremella naturally contains this acid, which could help support skin hydration levels.
