What’s in it, and why.
Reishi - Hydrolyzed Ganoderma Lucidum
The lead functional mushroom, present as a hydrolyzed extract high on the ingredient list — the form that actually delivers active compounds, rather than the inert powders many mushroom products rely on.
Reishi is valued for antioxidant polysaccharides and its soothing, conditioning character. It anchors the cream’s defense story and sets the tone for a formula built on support rather than aggression.
Botanical Oil Trio - Argan · Jojoba · Avocado
Three nourishing plant oils stacked high in the formula — not trace finishing oils, but a meaningful share of what’s in the jar.
Mature skin loses lipids and barrier strength over time. Argan, jojoba, and avocado deliver fatty acids and vitamin E that soften, condition, and reinforce that barrier — the difference between skin that feels tight by midday and skin that stays comfortable.
Hyaluronic Acid + Glycerin - Hydration system
A humectant pairing that draws and holds water at the surface of the skin.
Hydration is part of how skin looks smoother and fuller in the short term. Here, hyaluronic acid works alongside glycerin and the botanical oils as a hydration system — the oils seal in what the humectants draw up, so the moisture stays rather than evaporating.
Gluconolactone Polyhydroxy acid (PHA)
A gentle next-generation acid that resurfaces and hydrates at the same time.
PHAs smooth texture and support a brighter-looking surface like AHAs do, but with larger molecules that penetrate more slowly — far less likely to sting or irritate. That tolerability is exactly why it belongs in a cream for skin that’s starting to change but isn’t ready for stronger exfoliants.
Supporting cast —
Shiitake & Turkey Tail Extracts— the supporting functional mushrooms, adding to the antioxidant base.
Hydroxymethoxyphenyl Decanone— a broad-spectrum antioxidant most brands leave unnamed at the bottom of their formulas.
Sea Fennel (Crithmum Maritimum) Extract— a coastal botanical traditionally used to support a clearer, more even-looking tone.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)— supports the look of even tone and a healthy barrier.
Stable Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate)— a gentle, well-tolerated form of vitamin C for antioxidant and brightening support.
Vitamin E, B5 & B6— a supporting bench of skin vitamins for conditioning and comfort.
Aloe Vera Leaf Juice— soothing and calming.
