what is Tremella Extract Glucan?
Tremella extract β-glucan, scientific name Tremella fuciformis β-glucan, is a water-soluble polysaccharide extracted from Tremella fruiting body or fermented mycelium. The main chain is composed of β-(1→3)-D-glucose with β-(1→6) branches, and the molecular weight is usually between 10⁵–10⁶ Da. Compared with hyaluronic acid, Tremella fuciformis β-glucan has a higher water retention rate (up to 500 times its own weight), and has multiple functions such as film formation, anti-oxidation, and promoting collagen synthesis, so it is known as "plant hyaluronic acid".

The simplest three steps to produce Tremella fuciformis glucan
If you want to obtain high-purity Tremella fuciformis glucan at home or on a small scale, you only need to "soak, boil, and sink" in three steps:
Soak - Soak dried Tremella fuciformis and pure water at a ratio of 1:30 at room temperature for 2 hours to allow it to fully absorb water and swell;
Boil - Boil with soaking water for 30 minutes on low heat, keep it in a slightly boiling state, so that the intracellular polysaccharide is fully dissolved, and the soup begins to show a viscous and stringy feeling;
Sink - Filter the decoction through 200 mesh gauze, add 2 times the volume of 95% edible alcohol while hot, let it stand for 4 hours, and the white flocculent precipitate is the crude Tremella fuciformis glucan, which can be dried at low temperature to obtain powder.
The whole process does not require complex equipment, and the yield is about 6%-8% of the mass of dry Tremella fuciformis, which is suitable for DIY or start-up brands to try.
Can Tremella fuciformis glucan be used as a mask?
The answer is yes, and it is one of the core ingredients of high-end moisturizing masks. Its advantages are reflected in three aspects:
Film-forming and water-locking - Tremella fuciformis glucan can form a three-dimensional mesh film on the skin surface, increasing the moisture content of the stratum corneum by 35–56% within 30 minutes, and there is still significant moisturizing residue after 2 hours;
Mild penetration-low molecular weight Tremella fuciformis glucan (<50 kDa) can cooperate with ceramide to help active substances penetrate the stratum corneum and improve the utilization rate of effective ingredients such as VC and niacinamide;
Instant firming-the shrinkage effect of the polysaccharide film during drying can visually fade fine lines and achieve "instant beauty".
Specific steps: Take 0.3 g Tremella Extract Glucan powder and dissolve it in 20 mL 70 ℃ deionized water, stir until transparent, add 3 mL glycerin and 0.5 g sodium hyaluronate after cooling to 40 ℃, and then drop in an appropriate amount of preservatives to make a disposable stock mask liquid; immerse the compressed mask paper in 10 mL of stock solution, unfold and apply on the face for 15 minutes, safe and non-irritating, and can also be used on sensitive skin.
