The Beauty Mushroom
Soft, luminous, and rich in moisture-binding polysaccharides, Tremella mushroom has been cherished for centuries in traditional Chinese herbalism as a tonic of beauty, radiance, and vitality.
What is Tremella?
Tremella fuciformis, also called snow mushroom, is a medicinal fungus used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries. Rich in over 18 amino acids and deeply hydrating compounds, it was said to be favored by Yang Guifei, one of China’s most celebrated beauties, for maintaining a luminous, youthful complexion.
Often called the “beauty mushroom,” Tremella is known for its remarkable ability to attract and hold water, helping skin feel supple, cushioned, and refreshed.

A bloom of water for thirsty skin.
Moonlike in form and forest-grown, it has long been treasured as a symbol of beauty, dew, and graceful replenishment.
In the language of herbal energetics, Tremella is cooling, replenishing, and softening, working as a remedy for dryness wherever it appears.
In old traditions, Tremella was gathered like dew, soft, luminous, and fleeting. It was said to emerge where moisture lingered in the forest, a quiet offering for those seeking restoration. Long treasured as a symbol of beauty and longevity. You’ll find replenishing Tremella in Sweet Blossom Body Lotion and Irish Sea Moss + Tremella HydroSoul Cream.
