Here’s Why Mushrooms Should be the Newest Addition to your Skincare

Despite the fact that the adaptogen craze is just now taking off, mushrooms have been a mainstay in traditional medicine for thousands of years. Celebrated for their ability to improve overall skin health and youthfulness, it’s about time we announced our newest product launch: Jelly Drops. 

Filled with Mushroom Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C, our Jelly Drops serum is designed to keep your skin strong, hydrated, and bouncy. Keep reading to discover the benefits of these ingredients and how to incorporate Jelly Drops into your daily routine.

Ingredient Spotlight: Snow Mushroom

The hero ingredient in our serum is snow mushroom, also known as Tremella fuciformis. This fungus has not only been used in Chinese remedies for centuries, but it was also a go-to ingredient of the famous eighth-century beauty, Yang Guifei, who credited snow mushroom with helping maintain her flawless porcelain complexion.

Here’s why snow mushroom is considered a super-ingredient and why you might consider using it.

A Natural Hydration Powerhouse

Snow mushroom is often used in skincare for its impressive hydrating properties. It has a naturally gelatinous structure which, combined with its high levels of polysaccharides, helps draw moisture deep into the skin.

The mushroom may also penetrate the skin more easily than hyaluronic acid due to its smaller particle size, allowing for more effective hydration. As colder fall weather approaches, increasing hydration in your skincare routine becomes essential.

Builds Elasticity for Strong, Bouncy Skin

In addition to increasing moisture, snow mushroom may help support the skin’s natural collagen production—a structural protein that gives skin its density and volume.

Since collagen production decreases with age, as well as with exposure to UV radiation and environmental stressors, snow mushroom can help maintain the skin’s existing structure and support healthy-looking skin over time.

With that in mind, we created Jelly Drops to give your skin an extra boost for a bouncy, plump appearance.

Lighten and Brighten – Our Favourite Duo

Just because summer days may be coming to an end doesn’t mean your skin can’t continue to look fresh and bright.

Studies suggest that snow mushroom may help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation by supporting a more even-looking skin tone. This can be beneficial if you have acne scars or uneven pigmentation.

To further support brightening, we’ve paired it with Vitamin C in Jelly Drops. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce the appearance of dullness and uneven tone while supporting overall skin health.

Sounds like a new favourite! So how do you use Jelly Drops?

1. Splash some warm water on your face and cleanse with your favourite cleanser.
2. Follow with a toner to get rid of any excess dirt on your skin.
3. Add a couple drops of Jelly Drops onto your fingertips and gently pat onto your face.
4. Finish off with a day cream to clean, dry skin. Allow it to absorb for 2 minutes before applying sunscreen and makeup.

You Dew You!

It was tough keeping this one a secret from you. We couldn’t be more excited to finally share Jelly Drops with you.

The skincare benefits of snow mushroom are extensive (believe us, this post could have gone on for another page!). As a naturally derived ingredient with a long history of use, it’s no surprise this powerhouse has remained a go-to in skincare for thousands of years.
