The Beauty Ingredient Everyone Is Talking About | Tremella Snow
If hyaluronic acid had a glamorous cousin who spent a summer in the Alps, got a PhD in biochemistry, and now glows like moonlit glass… her name would be Tremella.
And beauty editors are buzzing. Dermatologists are intrigued. Formulators are scrambling. Wellness tribes are already sprinkling it on lattes & acai bowls. The Korean beauty wisdom is reaching beyond what we put on to our faces & into our drinks.
But beneath the TikTok trends, the version everyone is talking about isn’t just Tremella extract - it’s the next-generation, clinically optimised, bioactive form:
- Coll-egan T® — the “snow mushroom” 2.0
And it’s about to dominate the beauty market in 2026.
Let’s break down why Tremella is quickly becoming the ingredient for hydration, glow, plumpness, and bouncy-skin energy -and why your humble can of Mizu is already ahead of the industry.
1. Tremella Holds 5x More Water Than Hyaluronic Acid (Yes, Really)
People say this a lot… “Tremella is like natural hyaluronic acid!” But it's so much more than that - Tremella is superior in a few delicious and scientific ways.
Here’s the science:
- Hyaluronic acid = large molecule → sits on skin → great for surface hydration
- Tremella = tiny polysaccharides → absorb into deeper layers → humectant magic show
- Tremella’s water-binding capacity = 500x its weight
- Hyaluronic acid = 100x its weight
In hydration terms, Tremella basically shows up, steals HA’s throne and delivers a dewy halo to all.
And because Tremella molecules are smaller and more flexible, they hydrate from within, not just topically.
Results:
plumper cheeks, glassier skin, and that soft, hydrated bounce everyone wants without injectables.
2. The Clinically Studied Version (Coll-egan T®) Actually Works Inside the Body
Lots of mushroom powders are good for our mind, body & nervous systems, but what about one that boosts our daily bathroom mirror regime? Meet Coll-egan T®...
It is...
- Standardised (so every serving actually does something)
- Backed by clinical studies (rare for mushrooms)
- Designed for consumable beauty (Ideal for on the go)
- Proven to support collagen density (the real excitement)
Why does this matter?
Because most “beauty ingredients” talk a big game but don’t survive digestion. Coll-egan T® does.
It delivers unique polysaccharides that:
- Increase moisture retention
- Support dermal elasticity
- Defend collagen and ECM structure
- Promote smoother, brighter, juicier skin - and who doesn't want that?
In one study, participants showed:
- Higher skin hydration
- Reduced roughness
- Improved elasticity
Tremella is basically an edible moisturiser with a super power for boosting collagen.
3. It Has a Glow Profile No Other Beauty Ingredient Matches
Here’s Tremella’s unfair advantage:
It’s not just hydrating. It’s multifunctional. Any professional will emphasis the importance of prevention, not just treatment.
The polysaccharides inside Tremella also act as:
- Antioxidants
- Anti-inflammatory compounds
- UV-protection supporters (although you'll still need the SPF)
- Skin-barrier guardians
The result?
A make up free “soft-focus glow” that brands spend millions trying to bottle with silicones and filters.
Tremella achieves it naturally - a luminous, bouncy, healthy glow that looks like:
- Eight hours of sleep
- Three litres of water
- A long weekend at Soho Farmhouse
all at once.
4. It Plays Beautifully With Other Beauty Nutrients (Like the Mizu Family)
Some ingredients fight. Some cancel each other out. Some give us a rash
Tremella? She collaborates.
In Mizu, Tremella is paired with:
- Hyaluronic Acid → surface + deep hydration = double glow
- Retinol → supports cell turnover
- Vitamin C → boosts collagen, brightens, neutralises free radicals
- Biotin → supports hair, nails, and keratin structure
This combination is basically a dermatologist-approved cocktail in a can. Where most beauty drinks throw in collagen and vibes, Mizu:
Hydrates, Brightens, Plumps, Smooths, Protects & Rebuilds
It’s the first “beauty drink” that actually behaves like skincare.
5. Tremella Has a Clean Label Halo That Consumers Love
We're over synthetic, artificial over processed beauty ingredients.
Tremella is:
- Natural
- Botanical
- Luxurious
- Science-supported
It’s been used for over 2,000 years in Asian beauty rituals - Empress Yang Guifei famously credited her luminous complexion to Tremella tonics.
Modern science is now confirming she wasn’t delulu; she was simply ahead of her time.
6. Tremella Is Vegan, Sustainable & Planet-Kind
Collagen? Not vegan. Not eco-friendly. Often questionable sourcing (we looked into it for this recipe & politely declined the fish skin & cow sinew collagen formulations for Mizu).
Tremella?
- Completely plant-based
- Grows with low environmental impact
- No animal involvement
- Aligns with modern wellness values
Simply - A Better Choice - For Mind, Body & Planet
