GANODERMA LUCIDUM/SALIX GRACILISTYLA LEAF/STEM FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE

Description

Ganoderma Lucidum/Salix Gracilistyla Leaf/Stem Ferment Extract Filtrate is a complex botanical ingredient derived from the fermentation of two distinct plant species. Ganoderma lucidum, commonly known as reishi mushroom, is renowned for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Salix gracilistyla, a willow species, contributes natural salicylates, which have exfoliating and soothing effects on the skin.

The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability and efficacy of the active compounds present in these plants. This extract filtrate is rich in polysaccharides, triterpenes, and phenolic compounds, which work synergistically to provide multiple skin benefits. It has been shown to have potential anti-aging effects by promoting collagen synthesis and protecting against oxidative stress.

The ingredient also demonstrates skin-calming properties, making it suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin types. Its natural exfoliating action helps to improve skin texture and tone, while its hydrating properties support the skin's moisture barrier. Clinical studies have indicated that this ferment extract filtrate may help in reducing the appearance of fine lines, improving skin elasticity, and enhancing overall skin radiance when used consistently in skincare formulations.
