Lions Mane Mushroom Extract Water Soluble

Inci:Glycerin, Aqua, Hericium Erinaceus Extract, Gluconolactone, sodium benzoate & calcium gluconate

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) has a long history of use in traditional herbal practices, where it was valued for its restorative and protective qualities. More recently, this distinctive mushroom has gained attention in skincare for its ability to support skin comfort, hydration and barrier function, making it particularly relevant for modern, skin-focused formulations.

Our Lion’s Mane is organically grown in the UK and sourced from Yorkshire, in line with many of the ingredients we offer at Incicellar. This local sourcing supports a shorter supply chain and reflects our ongoing focus on traceable, thoughtfully selected raw materials.

In topical applications, Lion’s Mane is appreciated for its naturally occurring polysaccharides, including beta glucans. These compounds are known for their ability to help attract and retain moisture while supporting the skin’s natural defence mechanisms. In skincare formulations, this translates to ingredients that can help calm stressed skin, improve the appearance of smoothness and support overall skin balance.

This water-soluble version of Lion’s Mane has been developed specifically for use in aqueous systems. Unlike powdered or oil-based extracts, it dissolves easily into the water phase, allowing for straightforward formulation and broad compatibility across water-based skincare products.

The extract performs well across a wide range of product types, including toners, essences, serums, gels and emulsions. Its compatibility with water-based systems makes it a natural choice for hydration-focused, calming and barrier-support formulations intended for regular use.

From a formulation perspective, this ingredient offers reliable performance and consistency. It integrates smoothly into the water phase and maintains stability within finished products, helping formulators achieve clean, considered formulations.

At Incicellar, we focus on sourcing interesting, functional ingredients that are genuinely useful to indie brands and formulators. This water-soluble Lion’s Mane extract has been selected for its relevance in contemporary skincare, its ease of formulation and its UK-based sourcing.
