Schizophyllan

It is an active anti-wrinkle, anti-acne and protective in nature. It is an extracellular polysaccharide of fungus Schizophyllum commune which is able to regulate the response of different types of cells to external stimuli and thus affect their viability and protein synthesis. As a result, it has the very interesting capability of positively influencing the visible effects of skin aging. It promotes the increased production of transforming growth factor beta, which increases the production of collagen, an essential component of the ECM which is responsible for its structure and strength and which in particular, smoothens wrinkles in the deeper layers of skin. It is applicable in anti-acne products.
