What Is Albatrellus Confluens (Mushroom) Extract?

Albatrellus confluens (mushroom) extract is an edible mushroom also known as Northern Truffle that’s native to Finland. It has a pronounced soothing effect on skin due to how it helps interrupt the irritation cascade that drives signs of sensitivity. In doing so, skin becomes visibly calmer, with diminished redness.\n\nAs with other types of non-toxic mushrooms, Albatrellus confluens is also a very good source of antioxidants. Chief among them is grifolin, which has also demonstrated many beneficial effects when consumed as part of a healthy diet.\n\nThis ingredient is typically part of a blend with other ingredients such as glycols or other carriers. Recommended usage levels of Albatrellus confluens (mushroom) extract in such blends are 1–3%.
