Tremella fuciformis, also known as snow mushroom, is an emerging active that has been attracting interest of late. Native to tropical forests, it is popular in China where it is eaten in various dishes and used in traditional medicine for its regenerative properties. Research has revealed that this mushroom has many benefits. It is rich in polysaccharides and fatty acids, and naturally contains low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which can penetrate deep into the skin. Hyaluronic acid is known for its hydrating power and its ability to maintain the density and tone of the skin. In addition, tremella fuciformis improves the impermeability of the skin barrier, thus protecting the skin against damage caused by free radicals. In addition, it has anti-inflammatory, soothing and antioxidant properties. This is why it has become a key ingredient in many skin care products, providing a complete solution for maintaining skin health and youthfulness.
