Description
Tremella is commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a tonic for overall immune health. It has enjoyed popularity for centuries by the women of China and Japan who believed it had value because of its ability to help improve the complexion and overall appearance of the skin.*
Tremella may help maintain the appearance and texture of the skin by helping the body maintain the production of hyaluronic acid. The production of hyaluronic acid normally declines with age.*
The function of hyaluronic acid in the body is, amongst other things, to bind water and to lubricate moveable parts in the body such as joints and muscles. It is also thought to be important in maintaining the suppleness and structure of the skin. Its consistency and tissue friendliness also allows it to be used in skin care products, and is said to be an excellent moisturizer.*
