Skin, Hair & Nails

We make our skincare the same way we make our teas and tinctures—starting with wild, Adirondack Chaga that we harvest ourselves. Chaga contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds that can help calm irritated skin, reduce redness, and support moisture retention. It’s been used topically for generations, and we’ve adapted that tradition into two simple yet effective chaga mushroom skincare products:

  • Chaga Skin Cream: A thick, all-purpose moisturizer for hands, face, feet, or anywhere your skin needs support. Available both naturally fragranced as well as fragrance-free for those with sensitive skin.

  • Chaga Lip Balm: A smooth balm made with olive oil, Chaga extract, and a subtle evergreen finish.

You don’t have to stop at topical use, either. Chaga, Reishi and Fungi Five tinctures can help support skin from the inside out

Chaga Mushroom Benefits for Skin

Chaga contains:

  • Antioxidants (like melanin and superoxide dismutase) that help defend against oxidative stress and daily pollution.

  • Polysaccharides (like beta-glucans) that support hydration and barrier function.

  • Soothing compounds that can help soothe irritated or inflamed skin.

We’ve harnessed these chaga mushroom skin benefits in both our skincare products—but also in our Chaga teas and tinctures. Internal use supports skin health just as much as topical use.


Reishi Mushroom Benefits for Skin

How can you use Reishi mushroom for skin health? Reishi (Ganoderma tsugae) is another wild mushroom we work with that’s great for skin. It’s been lauded for centuries as a beauty mushroom. It contains:

  • Triterpenes, known for anti-inflammatory effects that may help reduce redness

  • Beta-glucans, which support moisture and barrier function

  • Antioxidants, which help protect against early signs of aging

While we don’t make a Reishi cream, daily use of Reishi tincture or tea can support clear, balanced skin from within. After all, it is known as the Mushroom of Immortality.
