TRI-K Introduces NaturePep® Ganoderma: Dual Action Anti-Aging Traditional Chinese Medicine Mushroom Peptide
Anti-aging skincare is one of the most sought-after consumer needs due to ever-growing consciousness among both young and mature consumers regarding their physical appearance. Anti-aging skincare is key to protecting against further skin damage and correcting certain signs of aging. Holistic skincare is built on the premise that the whole is made up of the sum of its parts and the whole cannot function properly if one part is not working. This ancient practice of holistic skincare looks beyond the external symptoms to identify the root cause of skin imbalances and addresses them accordingly.
Through TRI-K Industries Inc.’s renowned NaturePep® natural peptide technology, we leveraged the Ganoderma/Reishi mushroom with an extensive history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and developed NaturePep® Ganoderma (INCI: Hydrolyzed Ganoderma Lucidum (Mushroom) Extract). This first-of-its-kind Ganoderma/Reishi mushroom peptide has been shown to reduce crow’s feet wrinkles and roughness, addressing the periorbital area of the face where the first signs of aging can appear. In addition, NaturePep® Ganoderma repairs dermal degradation, prevents skin oxidative and cellular damage, and decreases melanin concentration on dark spots.
Dr. Mihaela Gorcea, Associate Director, Evaluations & Scientific Communications, R&D explains, “On skin NaturePep® Ganoderma shows dual action anti-aging to repair and protect by upregulating critical genes involved in dermal repair, stimulating the formation of proper collagen 3D structure, and enhancing GAG’s synthesis. It helps repair skin damage caused by chronological aging, UV damage, pollution, and environmental stress. It is clinically proven to effectively reduce crow’s feet wrinkles, smooth and rejuvenate skin appearance while maintaining skin longevity and youthfulness.”
As stated by Business Manager, Mr. Victor Low, “NaturePep® Ganoderma is the perfect balance of the past and the present. TRI-K has brought the Ganoderma/Reishi mushroom, with over 2,000 years of history, to the modern day, creating a unique plant-based peptide reinforced by modern, advanced science.”
Dr. Pushker Sona, Global VP, Business Development & Innovation adds, “NaturePep® Ganoderma brings the best of science from a proven tradition of Reishi mushroom to address the intrinsic and extrinsic factors to deliver holistic anti-aging benefits.”
