Tremella Fuciformis Extract

What Is Tremella Fuciformis Extract?

Tremella Fuciformis Extract is derived from the fruiting bodies and mycelium of Tremella fuciformis. The extract is standardized to a high concentration of bioactive polysaccharides, primarily composed of glucuronoxylomannan — a complex heteropolysaccharide consisting of mannose, xylose, glucuronic acid, and fucose residues.

Benefits 

Intense Hydration: Its polysaccharides can hold over 500 times their weight in water, forming a breathable moisture film on the skin that helps maintain skin hydration and supports a smooth, supple complexion.

Antioxidant Protection: The extract contains bioactive polysaccharides that help protect the skin against environmental stressors and support the skin's natural defense against free radical damage.

Immune Support: It is traditionally used to support the body's natural immune defenses and overall wellness. 

Skin Barrier Support: It helps support the skin's natural barrier function and promotes a healthy-looking complexion.

Metabolic Wellness: It may help support healthy glucose metabolism as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Applications

It is primarily used in dietary supplements (capsules, tablets, and softgels) for immune and metabolic support, functional foods and beverages (powders, gummies, and ready-to-drink shots) for daily wellness, and cosmetic skincare formulations (serums, moisturizers, sheet masks, and sunscreens) for hydration and barrier repair.
