Description

For well nourished, radiant looking skin. Contains chaga, shiitake, tremella, lion’s mane, cordyceps, reishi, maitake, calcium bentonite and spirulina.

• Chaga contains kojic acid, a superfood ingredient which helps nourish and hydrates the skin. Kojic acid contains enzymes which support skin moisture whilst minimising clogged pores.
• Shiitake mushroom is also a rich source of kojic acid a natural skin brightener, aiding the reduction of sunspots and acne scars. Shiitake’s anti-inflammatory properties help improve overall skin health and vitality, accelerates skin cell renewal and increase skin elasticity.
• Tremella is able to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin which works to enhance skin elasticity, helping smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Tremella has an incredible ability to break down free radicals which contribute towards premature ageing.
• Lion’s mane contains several compounds that are beneficial for the skin. These include hericenones and erinacines, both of which have powerful antioxidant capabilities. Antioxidants help to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which can lead to premature ageing and other skin problems. This potent fungi has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine for a variety of purposes, including supporting skin health. Polysaccharides found in Lions Mane enhances antioxidant enzyme activity and increases collagen levels. In addition, lion’s mane also contains beta-glucans. Beta-glucans are a type of soluble fiber that can help to keep the skin hydrated and promote collagen production. Collagen is a protein that is essential for skin health, increasing collagen production can help to keep the skin looking young and healthy. More people are using medicinal mushroom products to improve their skin health and general well-being, this includes treating specific skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Research shows that mushrooms have been used to avoid oxidative stress and radical cell exposure.
• Cordyceps. There’s not much this fungus doesn’t do, it is a potent source of antioxidants, it aids skin hydration, increases collagen production and boosts elastin production. Cordyceps is also an inflammatory, therefore therapeutic for eczema, psoriasis and acne.
• Reishi. Triterpene is the molecules that are extracted from reishi mushrooms, these molecules are particularly effective at combating inflammation reducing redness and puffiness, two rather undesirable skin conditions caused by inflammation of the skin. They sustain high levels of two most powerful antioxidants in the skin, ergothioneine and glutathione. These prevent premature ageing and free radical formation. A powerful anti-inflammatory, the immune boosting adaptogenic properties of reishi mushrooms help to soothe and calm the skin by reducing redness and skin irritation.
• Maitake. The skin brightener. Maitake can improve skin elasticity, stimulates collagen production and hydrates. It contains anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Maitake mushrooms are rich in: antioxidants, beta-glucans, vitamin B and C, copper, potassium and minerals.
• Spirulina is a superfood for the skin. Spirulina contains proteins which participate in renewing skin cells. Rich in vitamin E, selenium and tyrosine, spirulina also has antioxidant properties which help fight against the formation of free radicals responsible for the signs of ageing. Phycocyanin, the pigment that gives spirulina its colour has anti-inflammatory properties. Spirulina contains amino acids and vitamins that are anti ageing and boost collagen production. Collagen is responsible for the elasticity and suppleness of our skin. Its synthesis in our body naturally declines over time which increases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Calcium Bentonite contains vitamins including calcium, magnesium, silica, sodium, copper, iron and potassium. It removes toxins, impurities and chemicals from the skin, stimulates and increases circulation, refines enlarged pores, purifies and tones whilst lifting dead skin cells.
