Description: Nature's Moisture Reservoir

Tremella Fuciformis Extract is a super-hydrating fungal polysaccharide with 500x water-retention capacity by weight. Known as the "Beauty Mushroom", this traditional Chinese medicine ingredient outperforms hyaluronic acid with:

• Multi-layer hydration: Binds water in stratum corneum + dermis

• Anti-glycation action: Protects collagen from AGEs (Advanced Glycation End-products)

• Barrier repair: Stimulates ceramide synthesis

• Climate adaptability: Maintains hydration in low-humidity environments

Scientific Benefits

① Hyper-Hydration Technology

• Holds 1,130g water/g (vs. HA's 1,000g)

• Forms 3D hydrogel network on skin

• 24h moisture retention (in-vivo study)

② Anti-Glycation Defense

• Inhibits 68% collagen cross-linking (vs. 0.5% glucose exposure)

• Protects elastin fibers from sugar damage

③ Antioxidant + Anti-Pollution

• ORAC Value: 8,500 μmol TE/g

• Chelates heavy metals (Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺)

• Reduces urban dust adhesion by 40%

④ Sensitive Skin Savior
