Ingredients:
Tremella
Skin hydration and nourishment.
Tremella is a functional mushroom that looks kind of like a loofah, if loofahs were made out of jelly. You may have heard it referred to as snow fungus or silver ear mushroom. It has been used as an ancient youth-preserving tonic.
Key Benefits:
Supports a natural glow by helping your skin retain moisture
Promotes deep hydration inside and out
Contains vitamin D and abundant antioxidants
Contains beta glucans for immune function
Nourishment for overall skin wellness
We use a 10:1 high potency extract of the fruiting body of the mushroom, organically farmed and free from fillers.
Tocotrienols
Vitamin E and deep nutrition.
Tocotrienols are a natural form of vitamin E. Vitamin E is made up of four tocotrienols and four tocopherols. The tocotrienols used in Matcha Glow are rice bran solubles from organically grown rice. Rice bran is thought to be one of the most nutrient dense substances. It contains 70 antioxidants including Vitamin E. Plus, tocotrienols are light and fluffy and add a creaminess to the latte.
Key Benefits:
- Balanced wholefood containing essential nutrients
-
High in Vitamin E, which helps prevent UV-induced free radical damage to skin and may have an anti-inflammatory role in the skin [1]
- Antioxidant-rich
- May have neuroprotective qualities
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble nutrient that is essential for maintenance of healthy skin. The body cannot make Vitamin E on its own, it comes from the foods we eat and from supplementation. [2] In addition to the benefits for your skin, tocotrienols have neuroprotective, antioxidant, anti-cancer and cholesterol lowering properties. [2]
Amla Berry
Natural whole food source of Vitamin C
Also known as Indian Gooseberry, Amla is the nutritious fruit of a tree native to India. It is often used in Ayervedic traditions to boost skin and hair health due to its vitamin C and antioxidant content. Multiple studies have found that the combination of vitamin C and vitamin E (found in the tocotrienols) protects the skin against UV damage. [1]
Key Benefits :
- High whole food source of vitamin C
- Optimizes the skin health benefits of tocotrienols vitamin E.
- Has antioxidant properties
- Supports our body's immune response
