CDF Tremella Mushroom Extract

High-performance botanical hydration active standardized to 70% polysaccharides.

INCI Name: Water (Aqua), Tremella Fuciformis Extract

Standardization: 70% polysaccharides (β-glucans)

CDF Tremella Mushroom Extract delivers advanced hydration through a dense polysaccharide matrix that binds water at the skin surface while maintaining a lightweight, non-sticky feel. Unlike conventional humectants that rely on surface hydration alone, Tremella helps create a flexible moisture network that improves skin comfort, elasticity, and long-term hydration performance.

Often described as a plant-based alternative to hyaluronic acid, Tremella offers a smoother sensory profile with excellent compatibility in modern serum, gel, and emulsion systems.

Common Applications

  • Hydrating and plumping facial serums
  • Daily moisturizers and treatment creams
  • Soothing gel masks and overnight hydration products
  • Post-procedure and recovery-focused formulas
  • Barrier-support products for sensitive or dehydrated skin

Why Tremella Mushroom Extract?

Tremella fuciformis, also known as Snow Mushroom, is prized for its naturally occurring polysaccharides that form a breathable, water-binding film on the skin. This structure helps retain moisture while supporting a smooth, supple skin feel without heaviness or tack.

Key Benefits

  • Long-lasting hydration: Helps maintain skin moisture levels throughout the day.
  • Improved skin comfort: Supports softness, flexibility, and reduced dryness.
  • Barrier-supportive hydration: Helps limit transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
  • Antioxidant support: Assists in protecting skin from environmental stress.
  • Elegant sensory profile: Lightweight, smooth feel suitable for daily-use formulas.

Usage Guidelines

  • Recommended use level: 2–5%
  • Add to the water phase or during cool-down
  • Suitable for serums, emulsions, creams, and masks
  • Typical formulation pH range: 4.5–7.0

Formulation Notes

  • Integrates cleanly into water-based and emulsion systems
  • Pairs well with hyaluronic acid, panthenol, glycerin, niacinamide, and barrier-support actives
  • Appropriate for both leave-on and rinse-off products
