DIRTEA Beauty Powder

Tremella is known as the beauty mushroom. It may promote natural collagen production and may increase the production of hyaluronic acid in the skin keeping your skin moisturised and hydrated. Tremella is also extremely high in dietary fibre and has very high levels of antioxidants.

Tremella has a deliciously subtle sweet and smooth flavour. It reminds us of chamomile tea!

Tremella, often called the “beauty mushroom”, behaves much like hyaluronic acid by pulling moisture to the skin, which might improve elasticity and give a more youthful appearance. Tremella mushrooms are rich in polysaccharides, including a unique polysaccharide called "Tremella fuciformis polysaccharide". The polysaccharide compounds in Tremella show remarkably high water-holding capacity (1)  potentially holding over 1,000 times its weight in water!  The gelatinous molecules of Tremella are smaller than hyaluronic acid, making it easier to penetrate the skin. Plus, unlike hyaluronic acid, Tremella may offer a host of other beneficial properties that can boost overall health.

Tremella contains polysaccharides, which have been shown to potentially have anti-ageing properties and antioxidant effects. These polysaccharides are also beneficial to promote natural collagen production in the skin. A report published in 2018 showed that tremella has excellent antioxidative and cell protective functions. (3)

Tremella has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years. Reserved for royalty and the wealthy, it was used to help support immune health. However, its impressive hydrating and skin-rejuvenating properties made it incredibly popular. Legend has it that an imperial consort named Yang Guifei was believed to be the most beautiful woman in Chinese history. People claimed that her beauty would put flowers to shame! She attributed her beauty to her consistent use of Tremella.

Functional mushrooms are types of fungi that are known for their health benefits beyond their nutritional compositions. The exact benefits differ depending on the mushroom. We offer 5 different functional mushrooms in Pure Powder form - Lion's Mane, Chaga, Cordyceps, Tremella and Reishi.

Since launching DIRTEA, we have made it our mission to bring the benefits of mushrooms to the world. We use only the purest and most potent organic ingredients sourced sustainably from family farms. We also pride ourselves on our meticulous quality by using a dual extraction process and vigorous 3rd party testing that results in the purest mushroom powders. Unlike some of our competitors, we insist on using 100% of the fruiting body and do not use any mycelial biomass (oats, rice or grains) as filler. 

Our Mushrooms help to support your immune system, maintain healthy brain function and boost healthy skin and bones. 

DIRTEA mushroom powders contain 2,000mg of mushrooms per serving.

The best time to take our Pure Powders will depend on your personal preference and the benefits you’re looking for. Most people find adding DIRTEA to their morning routine allows them to keep consistent and feel the full benefits of our mushrooms throughout the day.

Yes, our Pure Powders are 100% certified organic by the Organic Food Federation.

We recommend 2g of mushroom powder per day. However, many people enjoy combining our products to experience a range of different benefits. 

Yes! We love combining our powders. Each mushroom offers a different benefit, and they actually work synergistically together, so it's a fantastic way to maximise the results. 

Please consult your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition or are taking any medication.

It's best to store your Pure Powders at room temperature and away from direct sunlight. Avoid getting any moisture into the tin and always use a clean, dry spoon. 

DIRTEA operates out of London and our products are all manufactured in the UK and are then distributed from our centre in Northampton. Our mushrooms are sourced from the best mushroom forest farms on the planet from China and Siberia.

We don’t offer samples at the moment but we hope to offer them in future. 

Our products are complementary when taken together, and we love combining different DIRTEA products for their individual benefits. 

There is plenty of evidence to support the benefits that functional mushrooms can offer children, but it’s worth noting there is no definitive research on the topic. Meanwhile, there is also no indication that they pose any danger to children.

We recommend it not be given to children under 10 years of age. At this early stage, children’s bodily systems are still developing and adapting to their environment.

As a general rule of thumb, it’s always a good idea to consult your child’s paediatrician before introducing any supplements into their diet particularly if they’re on medication. 

No, our Pure Powders are free from allergens. 

Please consult your doctor if you have a medical condition or are taking any medication.

They offer the same benefits, but our Pure Powders are easy to add into your existing routine. They’re fantastic to have on their own or can even be mixed and matched to maximise results. Whilst our Gummies are convenient, delicious and designed to be taken on-the-go. They are a sweeter alternative jam-packed with benefits.
