Tremella Mushroom: The Glow Ingredient You Should Know About

It has been called the beauty mushroom, the snow mushroom, and the new hyaluronic acid. Tremella fuciformis has centuries of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine and it is the first ingredient in every bottle of Feelz Swigs Glow.

Here is what it actually does.

What Is Tremella?

Tremella fuciformis is a translucent, gelatinous mushroom that grows on hardwood trees. Also known as snow mushroom or silver ear, it has a distinctive ruffled appearance and a long history in Eastern wellness traditions.

Key facts about tremella:

•  Native to: China, Japan, and tropical regions of Asia and Africa

•  Also called: Snow mushroom, silver ear mushroom, white jelly mushroom

•  Traditional use: Revered in Chinese medicine for skin nourishment, longevity, and radiance

•  Bioactive compounds: Glucuronoxylomannans, beta-glucans, polysaccharides, and antioxidants

Historical records suggest Yang Guifei, one of ancient China's most celebrated beauties and a consort of Emperor Xuanzong, consumed tremella daily and credited it for her luminous complexion.

How Tremella Supports Skin from Within

Tremella's benefits come from its polysaccharides, long-chain sugars with a unique molecular structure that attracts and holds water.

What the research shows:

•  Tremella polysaccharides can hold up to 500 times their weight in water

•  A 24-week randomized trial found a 28% improvement in collagen density in participants using tremella-based formulations

•  Research published in Natural Products Sciences found tremella extract measurably improved skin hydration markers and reduced signs of photoaging

•  Antioxidant compounds in tremella help neutralize the free radicals that degrade collagen over time

Unlike hyaluronic acid, which works primarily on the skin's surface, tremella's smaller molecular structure allows it to reach deeper layers when taken internally.

Tremella vs. Hyaluronic Acid

Why It Belongs in a Functional Elixir

Tremella is water-soluble, which makes it particularly well-suited to a liquid format. The active polysaccharides are highly bioavailable in liquid, more reliably than in capsule or powder formats.
