WHAT IS REISHI?

Known as “the mushroom of immortality”, Reishi is used in traditional Chinese medicine to help improve overall health and promote longevity. It is considered an adaptogen, meaning that it helps the body respond and adapt to various kinds of stress.

HOW DOES IT WORK IN SKIN?

• Soothes and calms redness and irritation
• Helps boost skin’s resilience to outside elements

WHAT IS FERMENTED CHAGA?

Typically found growing on birch trees, Chaga is loaded with essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients like zinc, potassium and magnesium. When ingested, it has potent antioxidant and immune support benefits.

HOW DOES IT WORK IN SKIN?

• Helps calm redness and irritation
• Delivers a calm and comforted complexion

Bonus: At Origins, we ferment the Chaga for 3 days to break it down into smaller particles for easier infusion into the skin, then finely filter it to isolate a skin-compatible nutrient with 28% more anti-irritant power*
