What Poria Cocos Extract is & what it does
A medicinal mushroom extract that soothes and conditions skin while supporting a balanced, comfortable surface. It is gentle and hydrating.
What does Poria Cocos Extract do in skincare?
Poria Cocos Extract is derived from a fungus used in traditional East Asian practices and is included in skincare mainly as a botanical conditioning agent. It is often added for its plant-based, soothing reputation. Its main role in a formula is conditioning and supporting product feel.
Is Poria Cocos Extract natural or synthetic?
Poria Cocos Extract is natural in origin, sourced from the Poria cocos fungus. It is extracted from the natural raw material rather than synthesized. It is then processed for cosmetic use.
Is Poria Cocos Extract vegan?
Poria Cocos is a fungus, so its extract contains no animal-derived material and is generally considered suitable for vegans. Whether a finished product is certified vegan also depends on its other ingredients and the brand's policies. Check the brand's labeling if certification matters to you.
