The Serum
A dew worth the journey
Legend has it Snow Mushroom (Tremella Fuciformis) was treasured by Qing Dynasty Empress Dowager Cixi, one of Ancient China’s most powerful women, for giving her skin as clear as moonlight on jade. Court records whisper of snow mushroom’s ability to hold 500 times its weight in water, timelessly preserving youth and complexion by deeply hydrating and brightening the skin.
