Myco Beauty (Chaga & Tremella)
- Mushrooms for Skin Health
- Mushrooms for Anti-Ageing
Meet the Mushrooms
Our Organic Myco Beauty is a blend of tremella, known as the ‘beauty mushroom’ and a popular ingredient in skincare products throughout East Asia, and chaga mushroom, rich in betulinic acid and antioxidants, grown and wild crafted from birch trees.
History
Chaga is renowned for increasing vitality and supporting the immune system. Traditionally it was used in folk medicine in Eastern Russia, boiled to make a tea that was used to support immunity and overall health. Tremella has a long history of traditional use in Asia for various beauty purposes, including to reduce freckles and promote a glowing, youthful complexion.
Benefits: Why you should use it?
- Skin Health: Studies show chaga has the strongest antioxidant activity among fungi examined. Antioxidants protect the body from free-radical damage which can cause premature ageing. Tremella attracts and holds water (more effectively than hyaluronic acid) which helps with hydration and elasticity, and slows down production of melanin which is useful for skin pigmentation, uneven skin tone, and scarring.
- Anti-ageing: Tremella has notable anti-inflammatory properties, is rich in antioxidants and a potential therapeutic agent for oxidative-stress associated skin diseases and ageing (1).
Key Actives
- Antioxidants: Tremella and chaga are extremely rich in antioxidants. Chaga has one of highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbent Capacity) scores of any food, highlighting its ability to protect the body from free radical damage.
- Polysaccharides: Both mushrooms are rich in anti-inflammatory and immune supporting polysaccharides.
