    Ingredients

    CHARGA MUSHROOM
    A powerful powerhouse that delivers the goodness of mushroom to the skin. Rich in antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase and melanin, Chaga mushroom protects skin cells from oxidative damage, reducing the signs of aging. Compounds such as betulinic acid soothe irritated skin, reduce redness, and relieve conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Chaga mushroom's polysaccharides retain moisture in the skin, improve hydration, and strengthen the skin barrier for softer, more elastic skin. Chaga mushroom may also help brighten skin, even out skin tone, diminish dark spots, and promote a radiant complexion. Chaga's antibacterial properties and cell regenerative abilities have been traditionally used for wound healing and speed up the healing of minor skin injuries. Certain compounds such as melanin provide additional protection from UV radiation and complement sunscreens for enhanced sun protection.

    SPLIT MUSHROOM
    Research has proven that split mushrooms have several potential benefits for the skin. Their polysaccharides help to lock in moisture and improve hydration. They are rich in phenolic compounds and flavonoids that fight oxidative stress and maintain skin health. Clinical research has shown that they reduce inflammation, thereby helping with conditions such as acne and dermatitis. The skin-lightening compounds in these mushrooms minimize dark spots and improve complexion radiance. They stimulate collagen synthesis, improve skin elasticity, and reduce signs of aging. And finally, scientists have deepened the fact that they can help protect against UV-related damage, thereby reducing sunburn and premature aging.

    PRORIA MUSHROOM
    Known as Fu Ling, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for more than 2,000 years. It is often used to improve skin health. Rich in polysaccharides, the Poria mushroom helps the skin retain moisture, making it more hydrated and textured. Compounds such as pachymic acid and tumulosic acid soothe the skin, reduce redness, and relieve conditions such as eczema and acne. Poria mushroom's abundant triterpenes neutralize free radicals, prevent premature aging, and maintain skin health. Accelerates wound healing through anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. With their astringent properties, Poria mushrooms regulate sebum production, making them beneficial for oily or acne-prone skin.

    ASHWAGHANDA
    Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties make it a popular remedy for pesky acne. It gives the skin a much-needed deep clean by removing impurities and dirt. But ashwagandha isn't just for oily or acne-prone skin - its roots are full of hyaluronic acid, which hydrates the skin and makes it glow. So why not spice up your skincare routine with some products containing ashwagandha? They'll leave your skin looking fresh and radiant, like a natural facelift in a bottle! And here's the kicker: ashwagandha is also a rich antioxidant that helps the skin age gracefully by stimulating collagen production and rejuvenating the skin from within. Plus, its soothing properties can help keep fine lines at bay and maintain youthful plumpness. A multitasking wonder herb, then!

    SCHISANDRA
    Considered one of the 50 fundamental herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is known as an important tonic. Lignans, the main component of these berries, are responsible for their skin-soothing and regenerating properties. They are effective against skin problems such as redness and promote a healthier, smoother and more even complexion. In addition, this extract is a notable source of polysaccharides, phytosterols, polyphenols and flavonoids, including hyperoside, isoquercitrin, rutin and quercetin, all of which have powerful antioxidant properties and strengthen the skin's resistance to environmental stressors. Together with the lignans, these compounds contribute to the health-promoting properties of Schisandra chinensis fruit extract.
