The Hydration Duel: Tremella vs. Hyaluronic Acid The much-hyped hydration molecule has a fungal challenger, and the science is compelling.

Your HA serum might be dehydrating you in dry climates (it pulls moisture from deeper skin layers). Tremella forms a protective biofilm that delivers steady hydration without the downsides.

Tremella mushroom outperforms hyaluronic acid in hydration studies. Smaller molecules penetrate deeper, 15% more effective moisture retention, plus antioxidants HA can't match.

The Hydration Duel: Tremella vs. Hyaluronic Acid The much-hyped hydration molecule has a fungal challenger, and the science is compelling.

While hyaluronic acid molecules can be quite large, Tremella's polysaccharides have a smaller molecular structure. This means they can potentially penetrate deeper into the skin's layers rather than sitting predominantly on top. spore2skin.substack.com/p/the-hydrat...

Do You Trust Your Skin? From "Spore to Skin: The Mycelial Beauty Revolution"

Fungi disrupt the story of disgust. They're not neat, don't bloom on schedule, don't stay in their place. They remind us there's no unchanging beauty, that all surfaces degrade. This is the post-purity aesthetic: complexity made visible. spore2skin.substack.com/p/reframing-...

Most skincare operates on elimination logic: kill bacteria, strip oil, suppress responses. But adaptogens like beta-glucans don't override your skin's intelligence, they retrain it. They calm the overactive, strengthen the underactive. spore2skin.substack.com/p/adaptive-i...
