Skin Benefits of Mushrooms • Anti‑tyrosinase (Skin Brightening): Some mushrooms have been found to reduce melanin content and inhibit tyrosinase activity (melanin production). Combined, this helps brighten skin and fade pigmentation. Some mushrooms contain kojic acid which is a natural skin lightener. This acid inhibits melanin production on the surface of the skin. This lightens the new skin cells formed after the dead ones are exfoliated. Skin Brightening • Anti‑hyaluronidase (Hydrating): Some mushrooms contains a polysaccharide that is great at hydrating the skin by drawing moisture to the skin, just like hyaluronic acid. Hydrating • Anti-collagenase (stimulate collagen synthesis by dermal fibroblasts) Anti-collagenase • Anti‑elastase (skin elasticity) Anti‑elastase • Antioxidant protection: Some mushrooms hold high antioxidant potential and can help fight free radicals which helps to strengthen the skin’s barrier.
