Using the essence extracted from mushrooms is a part of Japanese facial skincare routines. However, there’s a new type of mushroom you should know about due to its remarkable beautifying abilities. It’s called the snow fungus (scientifically known as fuciformis tremella).
SNOW FUNGUS INTRODUCTION
The snow fungus has been employed in Asian medicine and skincare for centuries. It’s praised for its skin-hydrating properties upon absorption, hence the snow ear fungus (another name for snow fungus) is often used in Asian desserts to enhance body moisture.
Also known as white wood ear, white jelly fungus, cat ear mushroom, snow ear, the snow fungus belongs to the Mushroom family and is a nutritious food often used in delicious dishes. Additionally, it possesses many effective medicinal properties, which is why it’s highly valued and widely utilized. This explains the popularity and demand for dried snow fungus among many people.

BENEFITS OF SNOW FUNGUS
With an innate sensitivity to all the wonders of the world, the cosmetics industry naturally couldn’t overlook the potential of fungi. Thanks to this, the beauty world has seen an increase in skincare formulas enriched with extracts from this plant species.
Snow fungus extract offers high levels of hydration
The gelatinous structure of snow fungus, coupled with high levels of polysaccharide molecules, works similarly to hyaluronic acid. For beauty enthusiasts, hyaluronic acid is a beloved moisturizing agent, delivering miraculous hydration to the skin.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) retains up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it a moisture-locking powerhouse. Snow fungus can hold up to 500 times its weight in water, but its molecular structure is smaller than HA, facilitating easier penetration into the skin, hence its potent moisturizing power. It also offers supplementary benefits like gentle anti-inflammatory properties, aiding collagen production, and most importantly, being a natural ingredient.
Snow fungus extract enhances skin elasticity
Due to its hydrating ability, snow fungus extract helps diminish wrinkles by boosting the skin’s moisture-retention capability, rendering the skin more vibrant, smoother, and slightly tighter. Additionally, its anti-aging effect is a key factor in snow fungus’s popularity within the beauty industry.
Snow fungus extract soothes and reduces blemishes
For those with more sensitive skin, snow fungus can be a true lifesaver. Snow fungus extract can break down harmful free radicals in the skin, reduce inflammation, and enhance your overall skin condition. Snow fungus extract is gentle, rarely causing reactions on the skin compared to similarly potent ingredients in conventional beauty products.
Snow fungus extract brightens the skin
A study highlights snow fungus as a substance capable of inhibiting melanin, meaning it can be used to brighten and even out skin tone. The skin-brightening ability of snow fungus extract is shown to be comparable to other components like Vitamin C, yet with significantly less potential for skin irritation.
Snow fungus extract heals wounds
Due to its relatively high vitamin D content, snow fungus extract can stimulate cell growth, aiding in healing minor scratches or acne scars on the skin. Using skincare products containing snow fungus extract will help smoothen the skin, soothe irritation, and expedite the healing process.
