TREMELLA FUCIFORMIS SPOROCARP EXTRACT

Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract or Silver Ear, better known as Snow Mushroom (Tremella fuciformis), is a type of mushroom and belongs to the Tremelaceae family. They contain polysaccharides consisting of mannose, xylose and glucuronic acid. (1) These polysaccharides form a film on the skin's surface that increases its water-binding capacity and maintains the water content in the skin.1 Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract also has a strong antioxidant effect and thus protects against free radicals.
