Tremella Fuciformis Extract

A polysaccharide-rich mushroom extract that holds water at the skin surface — often compared to hyaluronic acid for feel.

What it does

Tremella fuciformis (snow mushroom, silver-ear) yields a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide that behaves much like hyaluronic acid in a formula: it draws water in from the surroundings, holds it at the surface, and leaves a smooth, slightly slippery skin feel. It works the way a humectant works — supporting hydration at the outermost layers without penetrating deeply — and is often paired with hyaluronic acid for layered moisture.
