Product Spotlight: Reishi Mushroom

Whole Foods Market has recently announced their list of Food Trends for 2018, and we weren’t surprised to find Mushroom listed as a key ingredient, featuring Alaffia’s Coconut Reishi line. Check out this video from Fortune, and read more below to learn about how mushrooms can positively impact your beauty regimen.

Sure, we all know that mushrooms are both delicious and nutritious, but what you may not know is that this key ingredient is not just good for your dinner – it’s also a formidable agreement in skincare and beauty, as evidenced in one of Alaffia’s newest and most exciting range of products.  The Coconut Reishi line combines natural staples like coconut oil and shea butter with the super-effective and nourishing Reishi Mushroom, for a full range of effective and all-natural products with solutions for face, body, and hair care.

Here’s the scoop on all things ‘shroom in beauty and skincare!

Known to enhance agility, suppleness, and strength, Reishi Mushroom is an herb that contributes to health, vitality, and nourishment. The list of beauty benefits is quite impressive!

• Anti-Aging: Proteins and acids contained in Reishi are anti-inflammatory, promoting circulation and a stronger immune system, which reduces inflammation and increases elasticity. That’s right, Reishi mushroom can combat those fine lines and wrinkles to prevent premature aging!
• Nourishes Problem Skin: Anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties nourish and heal skin conditions like burns, sunburns, wounds, rashes, and insect bites. This makes Reishi an effective ingredient for treating conditions like dry skin, eczema, and acne. (If you’re concerned, make sure to talk to your dermatologist before starting any new skincare routine.)
• Improves Overall Skin Tone: Since Reishi encourages circulation and bloodflow, you can expect to see positive changes to your skin tone, making your complexion more supple and luminous, for a healthy, rosy glow.
• Promotes Hair Growth & Combats Hair Loss: Reishi is loaded with anti-oxidants that fight hair loss and balding, stimulate the hair follicles and strengthen the hair shaft, contributing to overall hair growth and added health of the hair from root to tip.
• Retains Hair Color: Stop grays in their tracks – this powerful herb works with your circulatory system to retain the vitality of your hair, retaining its natural hue, and fighting against premature graying.
