(GRIFOLA FRONDOSA/INONOTUS OBLIQUUS/SCHIZOPHYLLUM COMMUNE/TRICHOLOMA MATSUTAKE) MYCELIUM/LETHARIELLA CLADONIOIDES FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE

Description

GRIFOLA FRONDOSA/INONOTUS OBLIQUUS/SCHIZOPHYLLUM COMMUNE/TRICHOLOMA MATSUTAKE MYCELIUM/LETHARIELLA CLADONIOIDES FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE is a complex ingredient derived from various mushroom species and lichen. This potent blend harnesses the bioactive compounds found in fungal mycelium and lichen fermentation.

The ingredient combines the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of Grifola frondosa (Maitake) and Inonotus obliquus (Chaga) with the skin-protecting benefits of Schizophyllum commune and Tricholoma matsutake. These mushroom mycelia are rich in polysaccharides, particularly beta-glucans, which can enhance skin hydration and promote a healthy skin barrier.

Lethariella cladonioides, a lichen species, undergoes fermentation to produce metabolites that may offer additional skin benefits. The fermentation process can increase the bioavailability of active compounds and potentially enhance their efficacy.

This ingredient complex may help improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and support overall skin health. Its antioxidant properties can protect against environmental stressors and free radical damage. Additionally, the blend may have immunomodulatory effects, potentially assisting in balancing the skin's natural defense mechanisms.
