Fungi, But Make It Skincare

How mushrooms went from your hot pot to your top shelf—and why your skin’s better for it.

Let’s clear something up: mushrooms in skincare aren’t just a trend—they’re a whole ecosystem of healing. At Mynne & Moss, mushrooms are more than a cute aesthetic (though we love that too). They’re the core of our formulations, chosen for their adaptogenic, anti-inflammatory, and barrier-repairing superpowers.

So, what makes mushrooms magic for skin?

Start with Reishi—the calming queen. She’s your best bet for redness, irritation, and stressed-out skin. Then there’s Chaga, a potent antioxidant that protects against pollution and oxidative damage (a.k.a. the stuff that ages you). Lion’s Mane helps improve texture and bounce, while Maitake locks in hydration like a pro. Cordyceps brings life back to tired, dull skin. And Turkey Tail? She’s balancing your microbiome behind the scenes like a skin therapist with a PhD.

Unlike harsh actives that strip your skin for short-term results, mushrooms work with your skin—nudging it back to its healthiest state. That’s what we mean by barrier-first skincare.

The best part? Mushrooms are adaptogenic, meaning they help your skin adjust to stressors—pollution, weather, hormones, your third iced coffee. Their benefits are cumulative, so the longer you use them, the better your skin gets.

So next time someone says, “Mushrooms? Really?”
You say, “Yes. And my skin’s thriving, thanks.
