Shiitake Extract (Corthellus Shiitake Extract) - Revolutionary raw material for radiant skin
Shiitake Extract (Corthellus Shiitake Extract), derived from the nutrient-rich shiitake mushroom, has established itself as a remarkable ingredient in modern skincare. Also known as the "King of Mushrooms", this extract is known worldwide for its antioxidant and brightening properties, making it an effective ingredient for anti-ageing and skin-boosting skincare products.
Thanks to its ability to regenerate and brighten the skin, shiitake extract offers a natural alternative to synthetic active ingredients. It helps to even out skin tone and provides a smoother, more radiant skin surface. It is also rich in polysaccharides and lentinan, which not only moisturize but also improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
In addition, shiitake extract provides intensive moisture and supports the structure of the skin, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed complexion. Its antioxidant and soothing properties help to protect the skin from free radicals and harmful environmental influences while reducing irritation.
Incorporating shiitake extract into your skincare products not only improves skin hydration and elasticity, but also promotes a radiant and revitalized appearance. Ideal for highly effective creams, serums and masks, this versatile extract adds a luxurious and effective touch to your formulations.
The recommended concentration of Shiitake Extract (Corthellus Shiitake Extract) in cosmetic formulations is 2-5% to achieve optimal anti-ageing and brightening results. Combine it with other nutrient-rich ingredients such as vitamin C or niacinamide to maximize the synergistic effects in your products and take skincare to a new level.
