Healthy-looking skin starts with hydration, and two ingredients getting lots of attention are hyaluronic acid and snow mushroom. While they work a little differently, both help skin hold onto the moisture it needs to look soft, smooth and refreshed.

What is Hyaluronic Acid?

Don’t let the word acid fool you! Hyaluronic acid isn’t an exfoliating acid. It’s a substance naturally found in our bodies that acts like a moisture magnet.

In skincare, it helps attract and retain water, leaving skin looking hydrated, smoother and plumper—something our skin can especially appreciate as we age.

What is Snow Mushroom?

🍄 Snow mushroom (Tremella fuciformis) is a natural ingredient rich in polysaccharides that help attract and retain moisture at the skin’s surface.

It also contains antioxidant compounds and helps support soft, hydrated, healthy-looking skin.

Better Together

So, which is better? You don’t have to choose!

Hyaluronic acid helps attract and hold moisture, while snow mushroom provides additional moisture-binding and antioxidant benefits. Together, they make a wonderful hydration team.

Where You’ll Find Them

The new Hydra Elixir Serum, which replaces Apple Elixir Serum, combines hyaluronic acid + snow mushroom to help deeply hydrate while leaving skin looking smoother, plumper and more radiant.
