Phellinus Linteus Extract for skin

• Anti-pigmentation properties: phellinus linteus extract has skin-whitening properties similar to arbutin and may help in the reduction of melanin pigment.

• Antioxidant and anti-aging properties: this extract has antioxidant activity that can scavenge free radicals and in turn protect the skin and prevent skin aging. It also has anti-lipid peroxidation and anti-wrinkle effect, so it is therefore used as an anti-wrinkle cosmetic ingredient.

• It is also hydrating due to the presence of ceramides.

• Hepatoprotective properties: there are studies showing that phellinus linteus extract can be used as a dietary supplement to treat hepatitis.

• Anti-cancer: there are studies showing that P. linteus has exhibited antiproliferative, anti-invasive, and anti-angiogenic activities against highly invasive human breast cancer cells.

• Anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects: it also has anti-inflammatory effects that can help treat inflammatory diseases such as atopic dermatitis and anti-angiogenic activity that would be partly responsible for its anti-tumor effect.

Phellinus linteus extract is suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin and skin of colour, but make sure to check if you’re allergic to these mushrooms.
