ABOUT FERMENTED REISHI

Reishi, also known as Ganoderma lucidum, is a mushroom that has become increasingly interesting within modern cosmetic ingredient development.

This ingredient combines Reishi mushroom extract with Lactobacillus fermentation, providing a different way for formulators to work with this distinctive botanical source.

Fermentation is a processing technique that can be used to transform botanical and mushroom-derived materials through controlled microbial activity.
