Collection: Reishi cosmetics

In the world of natural cosmetics, ingredients inspired by traditional Eastern medicine are becoming increasingly popular. One of these is the reishi mushroom, valued for its adaptogenic and health-promoting properties and the base ingredient of the Orientana Reishi line. Orientana creates cosmetics inspired by Asian recipes, and Anna Wasilewska's stay in Japan inspired her to create a cosmetics line featuring the reishi mushroom as its hero ingredient.

Reishi cosmetics – natural regeneration and anti-aging

The Orientana Reishi series is designed to rejuvenate, regenerate, and protect the skin. Reishi mushroom has a unique action profile, combining antioxidant, moisturizing, regenerative, and anti-inflammatory properties. Its versatility makes it a valuable ingredient in modern cosmetics, especially for skin requiring regeneration, protection, and soothing.

Thanks to the synergistic effects of its bioactive compounds, the Reishi mushroom can be an important element in preventing skin aging and supporting its natural defenses. The Orientana Reishi line is an interesting option for those seeking natural and effective facial care products. Thanks to the mushroom's content, these products have anti-aging, moisturizing, regenerating, and protective properties. The Orientana Reishi line is worth considering if you're looking for healthy, radiant, and youthful-looking skin.

Why is Reishi the ingredient of the future in cosmetics?

Reishi mushroom ( Ganoderma lucidum ), known in traditional Chinese medicine as the "mushroom of immortality," has been valued for centuries for its exceptional health-promoting properties. In recent years, interest in this adaptogen has also spread to dermatology and cosmetology, where Reishi is gaining recognition as an ingredient with multifaceted skincare benefits. Its uniqueness stems from its richness in bioactive compounds, such as polysaccharides (primarily β-glucans), triterpenoids, peptides, sterols, and numerous antioxidants, including phenols and minerals such as selenium and zinc.

Orientana Reishi - strong antioxidant effect

One of Reishi's key properties is its ability to neutralize free radicals. Studies have shown that G. lucidum extracts exhibit high antioxidant activity due to the presence of polysaccharides and phenolic bioactive compounds (Chen et al., 2019). By counteracting oxidative stress, Reishi protects skin cells from damage and slows down the aging process, including wrinkle formation and loss of skin firmness and elasticity.

Orientana Reishi - intense hydration and regeneration

The polysaccharides in Reishi mushroom act as natural humectants—attracting and retaining water in the epidermis, providing intense and long-lasting hydration. According to research by Zhang et al. (2018), the β-glucans present in Reishi not only improve skin hydration but also stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, supporting repair processes and restoring skin's healthy appearance.

Orientana Reishi - strengthening the skin barrier

The triterpenoids found in Ganoderma lucidum play a crucial role in rebuilding and strengthening the skin's natural lipid barrier. By regulating ceramide and epidermal lipid levels, Reishi helps reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL), protecting the skin from dehydration and the negative effects of environmental factors such as pollution, wind, and low humidity.

Anti-inflammatory and soothing effect

Reishi exhibits potent anti-inflammatory properties due to its triterpenoid content, such as ganoderic acid, which inhibits inflammatory mediators (e.g., IL-6, TNF-α). This effect is particularly important in the care of sensitive, atopic, or redness-prone skin. Reishi extracts also demonstrate potential for alleviating the symptoms of dermatological conditions such as eczema and psoriasis (Wachtel-Galor et al., 2011).

Who do we recommend the Reishi line to?

The Orientana Reishi series was developed with the demands of modern skincare in mind, combining the effectiveness of active ingredients with the gentleness of natural formulas. Thanks to the use of Reishi mushroom extract – an adaptogen with proven anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties – the cosmetics in this line address the needs of various skin types, especially the most demanding ones.

For people with mature skin

Reishi is an ingredient with documented anti-aging properties. Research indicates that the polysaccharides and triterpenoids it contains stimulate collagen production, inhibit elastin degradation, and support cell renewal. Regular use of products from this line can reduce wrinkles, improve skin firmness, and smooth skin texture. The Orientana Reishi line is an excellent choice for those who want to slow down the aging process and restore a youthful appearance to their skin.

For people with dry and sensitive skin

Reishi mushroom contains polysaccharides that act as natural humectants – they effectively bind water in the epidermis, providing intense hydration even to dry and dehydrated skin. At the same time, its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties mean that products in this line help reduce tightness, reduce redness, and strengthen the skin's protective barrier. For overactive, irritation-prone skin, or skin with atopic dermatitis, the Orientana Reishi line can be a gentle yet effective alternative to conventional cosmetics.

For tired and dull skin

Stress, environmental pollution, and lack of sleep are factors that negatively impact the appearance of skin, leading to a loss of radiance, a dull complexion, and signs of fatigue. Thanks to its high antioxidant content and ability to stimulate microcirculation, Reishi supports skin revitalization, restoring its radiance and healthy tone. The Orientana Reishi line of cosmetics is the perfect choice for those seeking "energizing" skincare—one that restores skin's vitality and freshness.

For people looking for natural and vegan solutions

The Orientana Reishi series products meet the expectations of those who consciously choose cosmetics that are safe for their skin, the environment, and animals. The formulas are based on natural ingredients, are vegan, and not tested on animals. The absence of silicones and parabens makes them suitable for those with sensitive and allergy-prone skin. This care is consistent with the slow beauty philosophy – effective, ethical, and conscious.
