Chagas fungus, or blastocystis as it is called in Swedish, grows on birch trees in cold climates, mainly in North America, Europe and Asia. It is known for its strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can help relieve inflammation and oxidative stress in the skin. Its anti-inflammatory properties also help to soothe and moisturize the skin, reduce redness and boost radiance. Chagas fungus also helps fight premature aging by strengthening the skin's structure and improving elasticity.
Chaga has been used for centuries in Eastern folk medicine for its anti-inflammatory and supportive properties and is an ingredient that is not only found in skin care but also as a dietary supplement.
