USP: • 500x Water Retention: Holds up to 500 times its weight in water, rivaling Hyaluronic Acid. • Better Skin Feel: Non-sticky, silky smooth texture compared to synthetic humectants. • Dual Origin: Sourced from premium Tremella fuciformis (Silver Ear Mushroom) | Ready Stock in CN.
Introduction
Tremella Polysaccharide is a high-molecular-weight acidic heteropolysaccharide extracted from the fruiting bodies of the Tremella fuciformis mushroom. Often dubbed "Plant Hyaluronic Acid," it has been a staple in royal beauty rituals for centuries and is now scientifically validated for its exceptional hydrating and antioxidative properties.
Unlike Sodium Hyaluronate produced via bacterial fermentation, our Tremella Polysaccharide provides a unique, light, and non-tacky sensory experience. We offer high-purity grades (Food Grade & Cosmetic Grade) suitable for clean-label skincare, functional beverages, and premium nutraceuticals.

Functions
1.Deep Hydration & Moisture Locking
The unique molecular structure (Mannose backbone with Xylose/Glucuronic acid side chains) forms a flexible hydration film on the skin/mucosa. It significantly reduces Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) and maintains skin elasticity.
2.Antioxidant & Anti-Aging
Rich in Glucuronic Acid, it stimulates the production of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), helping to scavenge free radicals and protect skin cells from oxidative stress and UV damage.
3.Viscosity Enhancement & Texture Improver
In formulations, it acts as a natural thickener and suspending agent, imparting a luxurious, slippery slip to lotions and serums without the "drag" of synthetic polymers.
Applications
1.Cosmetics & Skincare (Focus Application)
• Products: Serums, Sheet Masks, Moisturizers, Toners.
• Benefit: Provides immediate hydration and a premium "silky" after-feel. Excellent alternative to Hyaluronic Acid for "Vegan/Plant-Based" claims.
2.Functional Foods & Beverages
• Products: Beauty Drinks (Collagen boosters), Yogurt, Jellies.
• Benefit: Improves mouthfeel (lubricity) and supports gut health as a prebiotic fiber.
3.Medical Coatings
• Products: Wound dressings.
• Benefit: Maintains a moist wound healing environment.
Flow Chart
Water Extraction to Preserve Molecular Structure
1.Raw Material: Dried Tremella fuciformis fruiting bodies (Pesticide-free).
2.Extraction: Hot water extraction (optimized temp/time).
3.Filtration: Removing insoluble mushroom fibers.
4.Concentration: Vacuum concentration.
5.Precipitation: Ethanol precipitation to isolate polysaccharides.
6.Purification: Deproteinization to ensure high purity and clarity.
7.Drying: Spray Drying or Freeze Drying (for premium grade).
8.Sieving: 80-100 Mesh.
9.Packing: Moisture-proof PE bags in Drums.
Quality Standard of Lactoferrin

Method of Analysis of Lactoferrin
UV-Vis Spectrophotometry (Phenol-Sulfuric Acid Method)
• Why: This is the industry standard for measuring Total Polysaccharides.
• HPLC: For advanced analysis, we can provide HPLC molecular weight distribution data to confirm the high-molecular-weight fraction (>1,000 kDa) responsible for the film-forming properties.
Reference Chromatogram of Lactoferrin Reference Substance
(Visual Placeholder: GPC Molecular Weight Distribution Graph)
The chromatogram shows a dominant high-molecular-weight peak, confirming the integrity of the long-chain polysaccharides and the absence of hydrolysis (degradation) during processing.
Stability and Safety
Stability Studies
• Shelf Life: 24 months.
• Conditions: Store in cool, dry place. The powder is hygroscopic (loves water), so keeping the bag tightly sealed is critical to prevent clumping.
• Solution Stability: Stable over a wide pH range (pH 5-8) and tolerates heat well during formulation processing.
Safety & Handling (MSDS Summary)
• Classification: Non-hazardous, GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe).
• Handling: Safe to handle. Avoid breathing dust.
• Storage: Keep container tightly closed. Moisture sensitive.

FAQ
How does Tremella Polysaccharide compare to Hyaluronic Acid (HA)?
While HA holds slightly more water, Tremella particles are smaller and can penetrate skin more easily. Crucially, Tremella creates a light, breathable film that doesn't feel tacky or peel (pill) under makeup, unlike high concentrations of HA.
What is the recommended dosage?
• Skin Care: 0.05% - 0.5% (It is very potent; a little goes a long way for viscosity). • Foods: 0.5% - 2.0% depending on desired texture.
Is your product 100% natural?
Yes, it is purely water-extracted from the Tremella fuciformis mushroom without harsh chemical solvents. It is 100% Vegan and Natural.
