Serums
Serums use the isolated tremella polysaccharide in the water phase for slip. The INCI line is not hyaluronic acid.
Tremella Polysaccharide
- Mushroom Source
- Tremella
- Latin Name
- Tremella fuciformis
Product Description
This code is the polysaccharide taken out of Tremella fuciformis, not the whole fruiting body and not hyaluronic acid. A 10:1 snow-fungus extract will not automatically meet a fraction specification.
Serums and hair leave-ons use it for the film. Capsules use it when the dose should be the polysaccharide itself. Ask how that polysaccharide was defined and tested. An unnamed percent is not a specification, and the INCI line still cannot say hyaluronic acid.

Applications
Capsules
Capsules deliver that polysaccharide fraction rather than a whole-fruiting-body range.
Hair Products
Leave-on hair products use the film and slip.
Not Whole Tremella
The fraction is what serums and capsules here are built on. A 10:1 whole-fruiting-body extract is the broader powder.
FAQ
How is this different from tremella fruiting-body extract?
This code is the polysaccharide fraction. The extract is a broader powder with its own assay range.
Is it plant hyaluronic acid?
No. It is a fungal polysaccharide from Tremella fuciformis.
What should the COA call the marker?
Polysaccharide, with the method. Do not accept an unnamed “active.”
Which species is the source?
Tremella fuciformis.
