Interpretation of Information on New Cosmetic Ingredient

Ganoderma ieucocontextum, is primarily found on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is a rare species of reishi mushroom that grows at high altitudes. While its appearance resembles the common Ganoderma iucidum, its flesh is snow-white with a unique and pleasant aroma. In 2015, it was identified as a new species within the Ganoderma genus. In recent years, increasing attention has been given to Ganoderma leucocontextum, with significant progress made in the study of its chemical constituents and pharmacological effects. To date, 95 compounds have been identified from this species, mainly including triterpenoids, meroterpenoids, and polysaccharides. These compounds exhibit a range of pharmacological activities, such as anti-tumor, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, and immunomodulatory effects.
