A potent facial day concentrate made with reishi, shiitake and chaga mushrooms that have been slow-infused in olive oil, with added vitamin E. Antioxidant rich, with anti-inflammatory and collagen boosting benefits. With fir needle, pine & cedarwood pure essential oils. This concentrate's amazing skin benefits!: - Reishi mushroom offers numerous skin benefits, primarily due to its rich composition of polysaccharides, triterpenoids, and antioxidants. These compounds work to provide calming, hydrating, and protective effects for the skin. Key benefits include: Soothing and Calming: Triterpenes in Reishi have potent anti-inflammatory properties that help calm irritated skin, reduce visible redness, and manage conditions like acne, eczema, and rosacea. Deep Hydration and Barrier Support: Rich in beta-glucans (a type of polysaccharide), Reishi acts as a powerful humectant, drawing moisture into the skin and helping to synthesise ceramides, which strengthens the skin's protective barrier to prevent moisture loss. Antioxidant Protection: Reishi is packed with antioxidants like ergothioneine and glutathione that help neutralize free radicals caused by environmental stressors (like UV rays and pollution), which can cause premature aging. Anti-Aging Support: By fighting free radicals, supporting collagen production, and enhancing skin elasticity, Reishi can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leading to a firmer, more youthful look. Skin Brightening: Reishi has been shown to inhibit tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production, which helps to fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation for a more even skin tone. Promotes Healing: The immunomodulatory effects of Reishi's polysaccharides can support the skin's natural healing processes and tissue regeneration. Reishi is a versatile ingredient found in various skincare products like serums, moisturisers, and masks, and is generally considered safe for most skin types, including sensitive or acne-prone skin. - Shiitake mushrooms offer skin benefits like brightening dullness and fading dark spots thanks to kojic acid, while their antioxidants (like glutamine) fight aging signs, and beta-glucans provide hydration, supporting a healthy skin barrier and fighting inflammation, leading to smoother, clearer, and more resilient skin. Key Skin Benefits: Brightening & Even Tone: Kojic acid helps fade dark spots, scars, and hyperpigmentation for a radiant complexion. Anti-Aging: Antioxidants protect against environmental damage, reducing premature fine lines and wrinkles. Hydration: Beta-glucans attract moisture, keeping skin hydrated, similar to hyaluronic acid. Anti-Inflammatory: Compounds in shiitake soothe redness and discomfort, easing inflamed skin. Skin Barrier Support: Supports the skin's natural defence system, keeping it healthy and resilient. Collagen Support: Contains amino acids that help improve collagen quality for firmer skin. Antibacterial Properties: May help inhibit bacteria, contributing to clearer skin. How it Works: Shiitake extract is rich in kojic acid, zinc, selenium, and essential amino acids, which work together to lighten, firm, and protect the skin. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties combat free radicals, while beta-glucans lock in moisture. - Chaga mushrooms offer numerous skin benefits due to their rich composition of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and nutrients like melanin and B vitamins. These properties help to combat environmental stressors, soothe irritation, and support overall skin health. Key Skin Benefits of Chaga Mushrooms: Potent Antioxidant Protection Chaga has one of the highest Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) values in nature, meaning it excels at neutralizing free radicals. This helps protect skin cells from oxidative stress, a primary cause of premature aging, including wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of elasticity. Anti-Inflammatory Effects: The mushroom's natural anti-inflammatory properties, derived from compounds like inotodiol and betulinic acid, help to calm redness and irritation. This makes it beneficial for managing inflammatory skin conditions such as acne, eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis. Deep Hydration and Barrier Repair: Chaga is rich in polysaccharides (like beta-glucans), which are natural humectants that attract and bind moisture to the skin, similar to hyaluronic acid. These compounds help lock in essential moisture and strengthen the skin's natural barrier, making it more resilient against environmental stressors. Supports Collagen Production: The antioxidants in Chaga help protect existing collagen from damage. Additionally, certain compounds like betulinic acid may promote the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid, which helps to maintain skin structure, firmness, and elasticity. Natural UV Defence Support: Chaga contains melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour, which provides a natural, internal defence against harmful UV radiation. While it's not a substitute for topical sunscreen, it offers an extra layer of protection against sun damage and photoaging. Skin Brightening and Even Tone: By promoting skin renewal and protecting against cellular damage, Chaga can help fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation, contributing to a more radiant and even complexion. - Olive oil can have many benefits for your skin, including: Moisturising: Olive oil can help your skin retain water and stay hydrated, making it look and feel supple.
