PROBIOTIC SERUM WITH TREMELLA

This bio-facial elixir is teeming with life. While probiotics are the heart of this skin-reviving

serum, we have complimented them with innovative and potent age-defying ingredients. This signature formula is a combination of ancient beautifying botanicals synergized with bio-fermented extracts— welcome to a science-based approach to skin care!

TREMELLA MUSHROOM

Tremella, an ancient Chinese mushroom, is the spotlight ingredient of this serum. We recently wrote an article on it’s impressive qualities, which you can read here. Tremella is exceptionally hydrating and is considered nature’s alternative to hyaluronic acid, as its rich in polysaccharides and beta-glucans, the compounds that create a supple, firm and plump appearance in the skin.

We source our Tremella from a company called Nammex, which uses 100% organic fruiting bodies that are rigorously tested and guaranteed for active compounds. All Nammex extracts are 100% pure mushroom with no added starch, filler, grain or mycelium — yielding a high-quality, beta-glucan rich extract. According to Jeff Chilton of Nammex, most mushroom products or supplements on the US market do not source their products from actual mushroom, but instead use mycelium grown on grain, which have significantly low beta-glucan content and higher starch content. You can read their white paper study on the ‘Measurement of β-Glucan in Mushrooms and Mycelial Products.

Beta-glucans are the juice! They are what the skin needs to combat environmental stress, to increase the look of firmness in aging skin, to reduce the appearance of temporary redness and to allow for intense moisture-binding capability. This is why we choose Nammex for the best quality mushroom extracts on the market.

BIO-FERMENTS

We’ve incorporated two bio-ferments into this serum: Fermented Olive Leaf Extract and Plankton Extract. But first, what are bio-ferments? Simply put, they are ingredients that are biologically enhanced to increase their nutrient density and ability to absorb more effectively into the skin. The process of fermentation creates phytochemicals, peptides and antioxidants.

—Fermented Olive Leaf Extract specifically produces compounds such as oleuropein, which offers strong protection from environmental stress along with soothing and reviving properties.

—Plankton Extract produces sulfur rich peptides that slow signs of aging resulting in less perceivable fine lines and wrinkles. Like most algaes and seaweeds, plankton deeply hydrates the skin, making it an excellent humectant in this formula.

ASTAXANTHIN

This high-performing antioxidant powerhouse is the ultimate skin-saviour. Astaxanthin is sourced from microalgaes and shields skin from harmful elements that can lead to deterioration. How powerful is this antioxidant? Some studies have shown that astaxanthin is 65 times more powerful than vitamin C, 54 times more powerful than beta-carotene, and 14 times more powerful than vitamin E! When applied topically, Astaxanthin enhances skin suppleness and firmness, reduces the appearance of brown spots and uneven skin tone and improves overall skin moisture and hydration.

Our formulator infuses Astaxanthin into a base of Tamanu Oil to allow for optimal dispersion.

HERB INFUSION

The base of all of our serums contain a unique aloe vera juice infusion. For this serum, we selected herbs that are native and commonly found in the Pacific Northwest. Our COO Rachel was inspired to incorporate these specific herbs from her experiences in making herbal salves with her brother. These salves are beneficial for soothing a variety of skin discomforts.

In this aloe-herb infusion, we include leaves of nettle, comfrey, plantain, dandelionand olive, all of which harness restorative and nourishing properties for the skin.

Our Probiotic Serum with Tremella also includes other nutritive and antioxidant-rich ingredients like avocado oil, superoxide dismutase (SOD), camellia leaf and is finished with a grounding scent of sacred frankincense and vetiver to compliment the earthiness of the entire formula.

Whether you’re a city dweller or someone who is seeking to balance existing skin sensitivities caused by toxins in the environment, this serum was created for you!
