Ganoderma Lucidum (Reishi Mushrooms)
“We love reishi and use it in all of our topical skincare formulas,” raves Moon Juice founder Amanda Chantal Bacon. “This adaptogenic super-mushroom supports the skin’s resilience against stressors, soothes skin, locks in moisture, and improves barrier function. Anyone that has stressed, sensitive skin can benefit from reishi.” Adds Gabe Kennedy, founder of Plant People, “Reishi is the queen of mushrooms. It has historically been used to promote longevity, but when applied topically it is known to cool inflammation and redness with its anti-inflammatory properties. It also possesses strong anti-wrinkle benefits.”
