THE BEAUTY ‘SHROOM // A white, nearly translucent, "trembling" fungus used by Chinese and Japanese herbalists for more than 2,000 years, TREMELLA holds more moisture than Hyaluronic acid and also has smaller molecules making it one of the most effective substances for plumping and hydrating the skin and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, giving the face a dewy, radiant glow.

Also known as the snow mushroom, snow fungus, white jelly mushroom and silver ear, Tremella was the favoured by Princess Yang Kwei-fei, one of China’s four great beauties. She was so beautiful that the Emperor allowed his dynasty to collapse just to have her. And she publicly credited Tremella for her glowing complexion and everlasting youth. Princess Yang was said to have a face that “put flowers to shame”.

Traditionally made into a sweet soup with red dates, peach gum, lotus and goji, it also increases superoxide dismutase production and encourages healthy nerve growth and immunity.

Take in a smoothie or water and mix with water to make a face mask once a week.
