With half of the world's population claiming to have sensitive or very sensitive skin, according to Mintel, Seppic was inspired by nature to develop a new active ingredient: Ganocalm

Derived from the adaptogenic mushroom Ganoderma lucidum, also known as reishi, Ganocalm™ has a triple action on the symptoms of sensitive skin, providing immediate comfort.

An adaptogenic mushroom to soothe sensitive skin

Ganocalm™ (INCI: Propanediol, Ganoderma lucidum extract) is a botanical extract of Ganoderma lucidum, also known as reishi, an adaptogenic mushroom. It is well known in
Traditional Chinese Medicine for its richness in highly potent biomolecules such as triterpenes, polyphenols and polysaccharides, which give reishi multiple properties including soothing, barrier restoring and moisturising.

An innovative 3x action efficacy with immediate results

Ganocalm™ has a triple action on the skin, addressing skin reactivity and dryness to provide immediate comfort. It modulates sensory receptors* to decrease stinging by 45% in 5 minutes**, targets and reduces inflammatory markers* to reduce redness by 9% in 1 hour** and strengthens the skin barrier* for a 44% increase in moisture after 1 hour**.

COSMOS certified and NaTrue approved, Ganocalm™ is 100% from natural origin content according to the ISO 16128 norm. It is also Halal certified and compliant with Chinese regulations (IECSC and IECIC).

Easy to formulate, Ganocalm™ provides a 3-in-1 natural solution for formulators looking to meet the growing consumer demand for sensitive skin care products.
