UV Skin Protection

UV Skin Protection

Cloud ear mushroom (Auricularia polytricha) extract helped protect skin cells from UVB radiation damage. In human skin cells exposed to UVB, a water extract at 100 µg/mL significantly reduced oxidative stress and cell death, improving cell survival after radiation doses as high as 15–90 mJ/cm². The extract also lowered reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduced apoptosis, key processes that drive sun damage and photoaging. https://www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejournals/html/10.1055/s-0045-1815110
