What it is
Porcini is a stout forest mushroom with a brown cap and a spongy layer of pores where most mushrooms have gills. The list names its species as Boletus edulis.
What it does
It is one of the 25 mushrooms in Shroom Therapy. Porcini is one of the richest natural sources of ergothioneine, an antioxidant. Like all mushrooms, it contains beta-glucans, sugars that hold water, which add to the mask's soft feel.
Why it’s clean
Named on the list with its species, Boletus edulis, and marked organic. One clearly named ingredient, not a blend name.
