The Simple Set
What’s Included: Large (50 ml) Serum of your choice and 50 ml Goat Milk Shiitake Cleanser
Goat Milk Shiitake Cleanser
Deep-cleanses, tones, and prepares skin’s pH for maximum absorption of Reishi-C and White Snow Cream Serums. Our goat’s milk is sourced from local, award-winning Nubian goats (really, they’re so impressed with themselves). We call it Farm-to-Face (ok, not really…but you have to admit that’s not a bad idea). Contains no sulfates – NO chemical “sudsing” or “foaming” agents. You won’t get lather; you’ll just get clean. Skin that’s really, really clean.
Did you know:: ”Foaming agents” added to cleansers by commercial skin-product factories have no positive effects other than producing chemical bubbles. In fact, they mostly have negative effects (like drying, throwing off skin’s pH, stripping the skin’s natural acid barriers, maybe even cumulative toxic effects). You’ve seen these chemicals in ingredients lists: sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium dodecyl sulfate or SLS, and coco-glucoside.
Then there’s our Stuff:
· All-natural, organic ingredients
· Made from real goat’s milk and gentle, skin-friendly oils, shiitake mushrooms and herbs like soapwort. And…
It works!
(And guys are even using it as “the best EVER” shaving cream!)
Ingredients: Goat’s milk; Olive, coconut, and sweet almond oils: Organic soapwort root, Shiitake mushroom, Organic chamomile flowers; Distilled water, Citric acid, Organic witch hazel leaf, Sea Salt, Organic vegetable glycerin, food-grade diatomaceous earth, Lemongrass oil, Musa sapientum (banana) leaf/trunk extract, Essential/fragrance/preservative oils, Potassium sorbate.
Reishi-C Daily Cream Serum
Our Reishi-C serum uses slow batch extraction of four phytochemical/antioxidant-loaded “medicinal mushrooms” with off-the-charts skin-renewal properties. Plus complementary herbs. All combined with four synergistic types of stable, active Vitamin C totaling MORE than the 10% many companies advertise for their “high strength vitamin C” serums:…plus extracts of white willow bark (a natural form of salicin/salicylic acid) and magnolia bark — both shown to be non-irritating and more effective for skin hydration, pore cleansing, and treatment of eczema, psoriasis and rosacea than chemicals found in numerous products — and other pure extracts. This cream serum not only aids in correcting the signs of damage and aging, it helps protect skin against future aging.
It just works.
Side effects:
We’ve been told by some women that Reishi-C eliminates their need to use “foundation.” (That’s not why we made it, but sure, we’ll go with that.)
And some men have mentioned the “tone…a little bronzy” their skin gets with Reishi-C and (most importantly) without sun exposure – and we’re all for that, too.
Collagen-boosting with consistent use, and this effect is cumulative (getting better and better)

White Snow Daily Cream Serum
The white snow mushroom is legendary in traditional Chinese medicine as the “Mushroom of Beauty.” Our proprietary formula uses the whole mushroom in a unique way (of course), producing a silky, creamy serum that – we’ve been told (and not to be immodest, but) — “…makes my skin look fantastic.”
As with our Reishi-C serum, something extra’s in there to work synergistically with the mushrooms: In this formula, it’s natural peptides extracted from quinoa (NOT the “copper peptides” some products contain) plus white willow bark extract (have we mentioned this before?), a natural form of salicin shown to be non-irritating and more effective for skin hydration, pore cleansing, and treatment of eczema, psoriasis and rosacea than chemical “salicylic acid” found in numerous products. The result is (again, not to be immodest…) superb.

A word about…SYNERGY!
We’ve noticed some products now on the market advertise both vitamin C and peptides in the same bottle — the same cream or serum. We guess their marketing people heard both are effective* and becoming popular (*if used correctly), so they thought “Hey, we’ll dump a vat of the cheapest versions of each — from some cosmetics factory — into our stuff, then advertise the heck out of it!”
But, see, the thing is: While both vitamin C (if the correct forms are used, in the right way, so they remain stable and potent in an appropriate serum formula) and peptides (if the correct forms…well, you’ve heard all this already) are both great — which is why we blend one or the other into our separate serums — they work differently and not great simultaneously.
In fact, there’s evidence they may kind of…cancel each other out when used at the same time! Sorry, Big Pharma. (Big Chem? Big Skin? We’ll get back to you on this…)
Think about a furnace to heat your house and air conditioning to cool it. Both are great and needed — but, hey, not at the same time. You know?
What a waste of your time and money, and what an insult to your skin.
But…when those two plus certain other, well-matched natural phytos (like, say, our mushroom and herbal extracts) are alternated…WOW!
Synergy!
And great, healthy skin.
Our two serums are designed to be used hours apart. One at a time (usually, for most people, Reishi-C as a “day serum” and White Snow as a “night cream”), so you get the effects and advantages of all our ingredients, absorbing and working synergistically (not against each other…sigh…) 24/7.
