Serums and Creams
Serums and creams use the polysaccharide film snow fungus leaves on skin. That film is not hyaluronic acid.

Product Description
In a serum, snow fungus is there for the film the polysaccharide leaves on skin. Tremella fuciformis is not hyaluronic acid, and a claim written for HA does not move across with the powder.
The fruiting body also feeds capsules at about 10–50% polysaccharides, with beta-glucan kept as its own line. Food lots and cosmetic lots are different paperwork. If the brief is a pale serum, the colour and the microbiology have to survive that base, not only the assay.

Applications
Beauty Capsules
Beauty capsules take an oral polysaccharide dose from the fruiting body.
Beauty Drinks
Pale grades disperse in a beauty drink, and the taste still has to be balanced in the formula.
Hair Leave-ons
Conditioners lay a light film on the hair.
Skin Blends
Skin formulas use the surface film alongside other actives. The tremella polysaccharide is its own contribution.
FAQ
Is tremella extract the same as hyaluronic acid?
No. It is a fungal polysaccharide. Do not label it as sodium hyaluronate.
Which part of the fungus is used?
The fruiting body of Tremella fuciformis.
Why are polysaccharide and beta-glucan both on the spec?
They are different tests. A 30% beta-glucan result is not a 30% total-polysaccharide result.
Will a food extract pass a cosmetic brief?
Not automatically. Colour, microbiology and the paperwork have to match the leave-on product.
What colour should the powder be?
Pale yellow to white. A dark brown lot is the wrong grade for a clear serum.
