These amino acids are like precision parts that are involved in the construction and repair of skin cells. They promote the synthesis of collagen, which keeps the skin firm and elastic, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. When the skin is damaged by ultraviolet rays, environmental pollution and other injuries, proteins and amino acids can quickly play a role in accelerating the repair of damaged cells, so that the skin to restore the state of health, as if for the skin injected into a powerful repair force, so that the skin always maintains the youthful vitality.

Among them, Vitamin C has a powerful antioxidant ability, which can scavenge free radicals in the body, reduce UV damage to the skin, prevent the formation of discolouration, and make the skin fair and translucent. Vitamin E is like a protective film that protects skin cells from oxidative damage and slows down skin aging. Zinc, selenium and other minerals, not only can promote cell regeneration and repair, enhance the skin's resistance, but also effectively reduce the occurrence of skin inflammation, so that the skin is more healthy and stable. These vitamins and minerals work together to protect the health of the skin, so that the skin in the face of external aggression can be easily dealt with.

The active substances have anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects, soothing the skin, reducing discomfort and keeping it calm and comfortable.

Beauty & Wellness Principles Explained

Antioxidant and Anti-Aging: Fighting the signs of ageing

Organic Maitake Powder has excellent antioxidant and anti-aging effects, mainly due to its rich antioxidant ingredients, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, flavonoids and polysaccharides, etc. These ingredients act as a powerful ‘antioxidant army’ to effectively remove free radicals from the body. These ingredients are like a powerful ‘antioxidant army’, can work together to effectively remove free radicals in the body. Free radicals are one of the most important factors leading to skin aging, they attack the DNA, proteins and lipids in skin cells, leading to cell damage and aging . Research data shows that polysaccharides from ashwagandha pollen significantly increase the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), an important antioxidant enzyme that catalyses the disproportionation of superoxide anion radicals into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, thereby reducing free radical damage to skin cells. An experiment on mice showed that after feeding Ashwagandha pollen extract continuously for 8 weeks, the SOD activity in the skin of mice increased by 30%, and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) decreased by 25%. The decrease in the content of MDA, which is a product of lipid peroxidation, indicates that the oxidative damage of skin cells has been effectively mitigated, and the aging process of the skin has been slowed down. 

Whitening: Brightening the skin's radiance

Organic Maitake Powder also has a unique mechanism of action in whitening. It can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase, which is the key enzyme in melanin synthesis, and the reduction of its activity can reduce the formation of melanin. Vitamin C in ashwagandha pollen also has a powerful whitening effect, it can reduce dopaquinone to dopa, thus blocking the pathway of melanin synthesis. In addition, polysaccharides and flavonoids in ashwagandha pollen can promote skin metabolism, accelerating the decomposition and excretion of melanin, so that pigmentation gradually fades. Many users have shared their real-life experience of using ashwagandha pollen to lighten pigmentation. A woman who has been suffering from melasma for a long time, after insisting on using skin care products containing Ashwagandha pollen for half a year, the melasma on her face has obviously faded, her skin tone has become more even and fairer, and she looks more confident and beautiful. 

Moisturising and nourishing: creating hydrated skin

Organic Maitake Powder provides excellent moisturising and nourishing effects to the skin, mainly due to the natural moisturising factors it contains. These natural moisturising factors are like miniature ‘sponges’ that absorb and lock in large amounts of water, keeping the skin well hydrated . They are mainly composed of amino acids, lactic acid, urea, minerals, etc. They form a protective film on the surface of the skin, effectively preventing water loss. When the skin lacks moisture, it will become dry, rough, and even flaky and wrinkled. And after using skin care products containing ashwagandha pollen, the hydration of the skin will be significantly increased. According to test data, one hour after using ashwagandha pollen skin care products, the moisture content of the skin can be increased by 20%, and this moisturising effect can last all day. Skin becomes smoother, softer and more supple to the touch, as if revitalised and energised.

Organic Maitake Powder also promotes the repair and strengthening of the skin barrier, providing a solid guarantee of healthy skin. The skin barrier is the first line of defence for the skin, preventing the invasion of harmful substances from outside, while maintaining moisture and nutrients in the skin. The active ingredients in ashwagandha pollen stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of skin cells and promote the synthesis of collagen and ceramides, thus enhancing the function of the skin barrier. Collagen is an important protein that maintains the elasticity and firmness of the skin, while ceramides are an important part of the skin barrier, which retains the skin's moisture and strengthens the skin's resistance. When the skin barrier function is strengthened, the skin's tolerance to external stimuli is also increased, reducing the occurrence of allergies, inflammation and other skin problems .
