Hericium erinaceus extract contains a variety of active components, including polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, sterols, fatty acids, hericenones, and erinacines, which endow the extract with multiple functions. The polysaccharides and protein components provide excellent moisturizing capabilities, adsorbing and locking in moisture to bring lasting hydration to the skin. They can also inhibit the production of melanin, reducing the formation of age spots and offering whitening effects. The polyphenolic compounds have antioxidant properties, helping to maintain the health and beauty of the skin.
