Ingredient focus: Tremella Mushroom

In recent years there have been a number of natural remedies that have caught the interest of skincare formulators, one of these being tremella mushroom. Also known as ‘snow mushroom’ for its delicate white appearance and used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for its culinary and medicinal properties, this remedy is gaining recognition for the wonderful benefits it can offer your skin.

The benefits of Tremella Mushroom for you skin:


1.

Skin Elasticity:

Tremella mushroom is rich in antioxidants and promotes collagen production, helping to improve the skin’s elasticity. This helps achieve a firmer, more youthful complexion, making it valuable in combatting fine lines and wrinkles. 


2.

Intense hydration:

This mushroom contains high levels of polysaccharides, which have a remarkable ability to hold moisture, even more so than popular hyaluronic acid. When applied to the skin tremella mushroom forms a hydrating film, effectively locking in moisture and helping to plump and hydrate the skin.


3.

Natural Skin Brightening:

Tremella mushrooms contain enzymes that help brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven pigmentation. Over time, this can give you a more even and radiant skin tone. 


4.

Gentle on Sensitive Skin:

Tremella mushroom is soothing and calming, making it helpful for sensitive or irritated skin.  


5.

Anti-inflammatory Properties:

The Tremella mushroom has anti-inflammatory and anti-irritation properties, which can help reduce redness and calm skin conditions like acne and eczema.


6.

Natural Skin Barrier Support:

Tremella helps strengthen the skin’s natural barrier, protecting it from environmental stressors and reducing moisture loss. A robust skin barrier is key to maintaining healthy and radiant skin.


If you’re seeking a natural way to achieve radiant and healthy skin, Tremella mushroom is a gentle and effective solution that has stood the test of time in traditional Chinese skincare practises. Tremella is a featured ingredient in Essential Alignment’s Facial Serum along with other supportive extracts and anti-ageing ingredients.
