Your mushroom skincare questions, answered

Face Food is a nutrient-dense organic face oil formulated with reishi and shiitake mushroom extracts alongside rosehip, jojoba, calendula, and cranberry seed oils. It absorbs quickly without a greasy feel, nourishing and calming all skin types — including sensitive and reactive skin. Available in Rose Geranium (naturally scented) and Unscented.

Reishi Reset is a gentle powder cleanser that activates into a soft, creamy lather with water. Formulated with reishi mushroom extract and niacinamide, it cleanses without stripping, calms visible redness, and brightens skin tone over time. Waterless formula — no preservatives needed, longer-lasting, and travel-friendly. Fragrance-free and vegan.

Two: reishi and shiitake. Reishi is deeply calming — it helps soothe inflammation and redness, support the skin barrier, and boost hydration with antioxidant-rich nutrients. Shiitake helps brighten and even skin tone while supporting firmness and softening the look of dark spots and fine lines. Together they nourish and balance even the most sensitive, reactive skin — which is why they're at the heart of every Mushroom Envy formula.

Face Food uses certified organic carrier oils including sunflower, rosehip, jojoba, cranberry seed, and calendula. Both reishi and shiitake extracts are also organic. Reishi Reset contains organic reishi powder alongside niacinamide and plant-based cleansing agents.

Yes. All Mushroom Envy products are vegan and cruelty-free.

Reishi Reset and Face Food Unscented contain no added fragrance. Face Food Rose Geranium is naturally scented with rose geranium essential oil — no synthetic fragrance. If you have fragrance sensitivities, the Unscented variant and Reishi Reset are your best options.

Apply 3–5 drops to clean skin, morning or evening. Massage gently into the skin until fully absorbed. Can be layered under SPF in the morning or used as the last step in your evening routine. Works well with the Reishi Reset cleanser as a complete 2-step routine.

Shake a small amount (about ½ tsp) into wet hands and work into a creamy lather. Apply to damp skin, massage gently, and rinse thoroughly. Use once or twice daily. The key is adding enough water — start with more than you think you need and adjust from there.
