Poria Cocos Extract: The Amazing Power of Traditional Chinese Medicine in New Cosmetics

Guess what?

In recent years, as cosmetics R&D has sought to get NEW high performing ingredients to work with, those who are derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) have emerged as a shining star.

How come?

TCM, which is rooted in the use of natural herbs and ingredients, aligns with the growing consumer demand for natural, organic, and herbal products. It offers a holistic approach to health, often focusing on both external and internal well-being. Advances in biotechnology and modern research have provided scientific backing for the efficacy of many TCM ingredients. More importantly, China has streamlined their regulatory processes, making it easier for products incorporating TCM ingredients to be finally approved.

Poria cocos is a fungus in the mushroom family (Polyoporaceae) and has a rich history of use in TCM where the crude drug is known as Hoelen or Fu-Ling. It is the chief ingredient in as many as 10% TCM formulations. The fruiting body ( sclerotium) of Poria folkloricly serves anti-aging, diuretic, sedative and tonic effects. Because of its rich and proven tradition, the scientific community has recently focused on understanding the chemistry and biology responsible for its activities.

As a way to explore the magic of poria cocos in cosmetics, SpecPure? PC (INCI Name: Poria Cocos Sclerotium Extract) was developed. Sufficient in-vivo and in-vitro tests have been made to validate the following efficacy claims. Over the past few years, SpecPure? PC has stood the test of time, and proved to be a desirable solution for skin firm, skin barrier strength and cell regeneration.
