Efficacy and application
Skin care effect:
Moisturizing:
Tremella polysaccharide has excellent moisturizing properties, with a molecular weight of up to one million,
which can lock in a large amount of moisture and maintain the moisture content of the skin,
and is known as “plant hyaluronic acid”.
Anti-aging and antioxidant:
Tremella polysaccharide can eliminate free radicals,
and its antioxidant activity increases with the increase of polysaccharide concentration,
which helps the skin resist oxidation and slow down the aging process.
Improve skin texture: Tremella polysaccharide can increase skin elasticity, reduce roughness, and make the skin look younger and more energetic.
Anti-inflammatory and soothing: Tremella extract has a certain inhibitory effect on skin allergies and inflammation.
Other applications: Tremella polysaccharide can regulate the immune system by activating immune cells and increasing the expression of immune factors.
Tremella polysaccharide can also regulate the activity of sugar metabolism enzymes, promote insulin secretion and improve the utilization of glucose by peripheral tissues, thereby achieving the effect of lowering blood sugar and blood lipids.
