Shiitake Mushroom Cleansing Milk

Shiitake mushrooms are rich in B complex vitamins, specifically B3 which holds anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe the skin from irritants and may help ease conditions such as acne, rosacea, and eczema! For those with sensitive skin, shiitake can settle down inflammation and give your skin a refreshing, soothing boost without flaring up any skin problems. 

The ceramides in shiitake help the skin maintain a healthy barrier to lock in moisture and aid in preventing toxins and bacteria from entering the skin. Shiitake is also full of essential amino acids like lycine, which aids the balanced transport of water through the skin’s layers. The mushroom also contains vitamin D and selenium, both of which help to defend the skin from environmental damage and lock in water. 

Shiitake, when applied topically, stimulates a boost in blood flow which helps to promote collagen production while its phenolic veratric acid fights wrinkles and fine lines. This mushroom is also a dense source of kojic acid, a natural substitute for hydroquinone to lighten unwanted pigmentation from sunspots, age spots, dark circles and acne scars. 

This formula contains cardamom hydrosol (a wonderful skin purifier), glycerine (a humectant that hydrates and softens the skin), and Vitamin E.
