Humectant, hydration enhancer
INCI
TREMELLA FUCIFORMIS EXTRACT
Tremella fuciformis, known as snow mushroom, is a polysaccharide-rich fungus traditionally used in East Asian medicine for its longevity and hydration benefits. Its unique molecular structure allows it to bind and retain significant amounts of water, forming a flexible hydration matrix across the skin. Unlike heavier occlusives, tremella delivers deep moisture with a breathable, weightless finish.
What makes tremella particularly compelling is the size and behavior of its polysaccharides. Research suggests its molecules can form a more flexible film than hyaluronic acid, supporting sustained hydration while improving skin smoothness and elasticity. It does not simply sit on the surface. It integrates into the skin’s hydration network, helping reinforce barrier function and reduce moisture loss over time.
Tremella also demonstrates antioxidant activity, helping defend against oxidative stress that contributes to visible aging and barrier disruption. In dehydrated, hormonally fluctuating, or environmentally stressed skin, it restores bounce, softness, and a more luminous surface quality.
