CONIUNCTA® expands portfolio with special mushroom extracts for cosmetics

The use of natural and effective ingredients is becoming increasingly important in the cosmetics industry. CONIUNCTA® has now expanded its portfolio with an exclusive range of high-quality mushroom extracts specially developed for skin care products. These special extracts offer a broad spectrum of skin care and antioxidant properties and are ideal for cosmetics manufacturers who want to offer their customers innovative and effective products.

The effect of CONIUNCTA® mushroom extracts at a glance

The new mushroom extracts from CONIUNCTA® have been carefully selected and processed to ensure maximum effectiveness and tolerability. The following extracts are particularly noteworthy:

• Chaga Extract (Inonotus Obliquus Extract)
  Chaga is known for its intense antioxidant properties that can protect the skin from harmful environmental influences. The extract strengthens the skin barrier and gives the skin a healthy glow by deeply nourishing and caring for it.
• Cordyceps Extract (Cordyceps Sinensis Extract)
  Cordyceps is known for its revitalizing effect. The extract helps to revitalize the skin and ensures a fresh and youthful complexion. It also promotes cell renewal and thus contributes to an improved skin structure.
• Shiitake Extract (Corthellus Shiitake Extract)
  The shiitake mushroom is rich in vitamins and minerals that promote skin health. The extract has an anti-inflammatory effect and can help to soothe irritated skin. It also helps the skin to retain moisture better, leaving it feeling smooth and hydrated.
• Lion's Mane Extract (Hericium Erinaceum Extract)
  Lion's Mane is traditionally valued for its regenerative properties. The extract promotes skin elasticity and helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It is ideal for anti-ageing formulations and provides a firmer skin appearance.
• Reishi extract (Reishi Extract)
  Reishi, often referred to as the "mushroom of immortality", has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The extract soothes the skin and is particularly suitable for sensitive skin types. It protects against environmental influences and slows down the skin's ageing process.
• Snow fungus extract (Tremella Fuciformis Extract)
  The snow fungus is a natural moisturizer. Its extract binds water and provides long-lasting hydration. It is an ideal alternative to hyaluronic acid and gives the skin a smooth and radiant appearance.

Possible applications and benefits of mushroom extracts

CONIUNCTA® mushroom extracts are ideal for use in a variety of skincare products, from moisturizers to anti-aging serums. Their natural ingredients can be used in concentrations of 2-5% to achieve the desired effect in formulations. By combining the mushroom extracts with other active ingredients, such as vitamin C or hyaluronic acid, their nourishing and antioxidant properties can be further enhanced.

CONIUNCTA® offers both water-soluble and oil-soluble variants of these extracts. Water-soluble extracts are particularly suitable for water-based products and are preserved with ingredients such as pentylene glycol, propylene glycol and glycerine, which also have a moisturizing effect. The oil-soluble extracts do not contain any preservatives and are ideal for sensitive skin as they rely on natural preservation.
