What is Tremella Polysaccharide ?
As a gift from nature to mankind, Tremella fuciformis has the reputation of “Crown among bacteria” because it contains Tremella polysaccharide. As it has excellent moisturizing ability, people also call it Vegan Hyaluronic Acid.
Tremella polysaccharide is a kind of plant acidic heteropolysaccharide. The main chain is mannans linked by α-(1→3) glycosidic bonds, and the branches are glucuronic acid and xylose. Tremella polysaccharide is the main active component of Tremella fuciformis fruiting bodies and cell fermentation spores, and its molecular weight reaches 1 to 1.3 million.
Tremella polysaccharide is considered to be a plant-derived substance with special biological activity. It can be used as an immune enhancer to effectively improve the immune function of the body. Its main medical effects include anti-aging, improving immunity, anti-tumor, lowering blood sugar, lowering blood fat, anti-radiation, protecting gastric mucosa. Tremella polysaccharides can be added to health products, cosmetics and medical supplies.
What is the benefit of Tremella polysaccharides added to skin care products?
Tremella polysaccharide has excellent moisture retention ability
It can absorb a large amount of moisture, and has the same high moisture retention no matter in low humidity or high humidity conditions. Tremella polysaccharides are used in skin care cosmetics and have the functions of repairing the epidermis and increasing the moisture content of the epidermis.
-Improve the moisture content of the stratum corneum and give the skin a soft feeling.
-Improved the integral value of skin conductivity and the skin’s ability to retain water.
-Reduce the water release constant, improve the barrier function of the skin, and prevent the evaporation of water from the skin.
Tremella polysaccharide has good lubricity and film-forming properties
The skin care products added with Tremella polysaccharide have obvious lubricity and good hand feeling when applied. A uniform film can be formed on the surface of the skin, so that the skin has a good sense of smoothness and moisturization, dry and not tight, and protects the skin. Similarly, in hair care products, a protective film can be formed on the surface of the hair. It moisturizes, lubricates, eliminates static electricity, and makes hair easier to comb and flow naturally.
Has a certain ability to scavenge hydroxyl free radicals
Tremella polysaccharides can be used as anti-aging ingredients in cosmetics. By inhibiting the peroxidation of cell lipids, it prevents skin aging; promotes the growth of elastic cells; reduces UV damage to the skin; activates epidermal cells and repairs light-damaged skin; accelerates skin regeneration; reduces wrinkles and wrinkles.
Has the same moisturizing ability as Hyaluronic Acid
And there is no sticky feeling, and it will not feel tight after drying. Gives the skin a moisturizing and smooth feeling. It can also fight against some free radicals, especially suitable for skin care products.
Advantages of Tremella polysaccharide VS Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate)
-Tremella polysaccharide can hold 490 times its own weight of water, while hyaluronic acid can only hold 400 times.
-Tremella polysaccharides do not easily shrink with changes in temperature, so they do not feel tight when used with skin care products.
-It is more elastic and softer than the film of sodium hyaluronate. Increases the moisture content of the stratum corneum and gives the skin a soft feel.
Tremella polysaccharide is a plant-derived high-efficiency moisturizer
It is currently the only natural moisturizing material with a molecular weight of one million. It can not only moisturize efficiently, but also has anti-aging and anti-oxidant effects, so it is often appear in high-end cosmetics.
Tremella polysaccharide is a natural plant source and has high safety. Plant-derived extraction is the trend in the development of cosmetics today. It will be applied in more and more high-end cosmetics in the future.
