Ingredients: Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil, Squalane, Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Oil, Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Seed Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil (and) Grifola Frondosa Fruiting Body Extract Maitake Mushroom (and) Ganoderma Lucidum Extract Reishi Mushroom (and) Inonotus Obliquus Chaga Mushroom Extract (and) Cordyceps Sinensis Extract, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (VC), Tocopheryl Acetate (VE), Fragrance

Directions: Apply A Few Drops To Finger Tips. Gently Press Into Clean Skin Either On Spots For Spot Reduction Or On The Entire Face, For A Full Glow. Use At Night Only.

We recommend spot testing before using.

Why should you use it at night? Vitamin C is an ingredient that reduces hyperpigmentation and could increase senisitization to the sun. This causes hyperpigmentation. In order to break the cycle, we recommend applying at night only.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of using this serum?

Mycelium Glow Brightening Serum addresses all of the following visible signs of aging: Dryness, dullness, dark spots, loss of firmness and elasticity, inflammation, and uneven texture.

Mushrooms can do all of this?

Yes! They really are incredible. We’ve known about the dietary benefits of mushrooms for centuries, and it turns out they’re just as powerful in skin care. Here’s a bit more about the mushroom extracts we use:

• Reishi mushrooms are hydrating and brightening. In addition to beta-glucans, which attract water from the environment to your skin, they contain high amounts of niacin, which promotes an even skin tone.
• Maitake mushrooms have plumping and smoothing effects. They are rich in Vitamins B and D, which stimulate collagen production and elasticity.  
• Chaga mushrooms help clear and protect the skin. Not only are they loaded with kojic acid, which destroys acne-causing bacteria, but they protect against environmental damage with melanin and superoxide diamatuse. 
• Cordyceps Sinensis mushrooms are soothing and calming. They’re filled with cordycepin, which prevents inflammation, and adenosine, which reduces redness.  

Are there any other active ingredients?

In addition to those powerful mushroom extracts, Mycelium Glow Brightening Serum contains an extra boost of brightening via Vitamin C, plus an antioxidant-packed blend of jojoba seed oil, kalahari melon oil, rosehip oil, olive oil, and Vitamin E. 

What is the percentage of Vitamin C? 

Our serum contains 3% Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, a super stable (read: not light sensitive) form of Vitamin C. It is suitable for all skin types, even those that are very sensitive.

It's important to note that not all forms of Vitamin C are the same. Different brands may claim different percentages of Vitamin C in their products, which may vary due to several factors: the specific form of Vitamin C used, the concentration of the product, and the intended use. It's also worth noting that the percentage of an ingredient in a product does not necessarily correspond directly to its potency or effectiveness.

Higher percentages of Vitamin C can be irritating to the skin, particularly for those with sensitive skin. It's always a good idea to start with a lower concentration and gradually increase as tolerated or use a product formulated for sensitive skin—like our Mycelium Glow Brightening Serum!

Is it made with natural ingredients?

We are proud to say that Mycelium Glow Brightening Serum is more than 97% natural. It is also preservative-free, silicone-free, non-comedogenic (meaning it won’t cause acne), vegan, and cruelty-free. 

Is Mycelium Glow Brightening Serum an oil?

This product is an oil and a serum. It contains active ingredients, which makes it a serum—but the lightweight, non-comedogenic oil base (a blend of jojoba seed oil, kalahari melon oil, rosehip oil, olive oil, and vitamin E) makes it an oil, too. 

How should I use it?

Like any serum or oil, it should be patted gently onto the skin after cleansing and toning but before moisturizing. A few drops is plenty—a little bit really does go a long way. It can be applied morning and evening, anywhere on the face, neck, and body, and either all over or dotted onto trouble spots like dry patches, dark marks, or inflammation. 

Mycelium Glow Brightening Serum primes the skin beautifully for makeup, and many of our customers have found that patting a drop or two onto the cheekbones and collarbones after applying cosmetics leaves a radiant glow. 

Others swear by the way it keeps winter-ravaged hands and elbows smooth and soft, and we’ve received more than a few emails praising its ability to soften rough heels—the trick, apparently, is to massage a few drops into your feet after an evening bath or shower, slip on a pair of thick socks, and let those magic mushrooms do their thing overnight.
