Soothe sensitive skin with Seppic’s new mushroom extract

Seppic unveils GANOCALM™, a natural adaptogenic mushroom extract set to revolutionise sensitive skincare.

Half of the world’s population claims to have sensitive or very sensitive skin. This need inspired Seppic to create GANOCALM™ from natural resources. The active ingredient acts on the symptoms of sensitive skin. It provides instant comfort by significantly decreasing dryness, stinging and redness sensations.¹ 

GANOCALM™ is a botanical extract of Reishi, Ganoderma lucidum, an adaptogenic mushroom traditionally used in Asia for its medicinal properties. Native to the mountains of China, Reishi absorbs earth’s energy and acquires its properties. Well known in traditional Chinese medicine, Reishi has multiple benefits owing to its richness in triterpenes.

Triple action proven through extensive testing

GANOCALM™ at 1% acts immediately through a triple action. It provides the following benefits:

• Modulates the activation of sensory receptors (in vitro), reducing stinging by 15.6 times vs. placebo** after five minutes of application (in vivo).
• Limits local inflammation (in vitro), reducing redness by 2.5 times vs. placebo** within the first hour of application (in vivo).
• Strengthens the skin barrier (in vitro) and increases skin hydration by 1.3 times vs. placebo** after one hour (in vivo).

Certified natural and China complaint

Seppic’s adaptogenic mushroom extract is COSMOS certified and NaTrue approved with 100% naturalness according to the ISO 16128 norm. It is also Halal certified and compliant with Chinese regulations (IECSC and IECIC).

Céline Hanani, product manager beauty care at Seppic, comments: “We are delighted to present Ganocalm™, a soothing natural ingredient inspired by traditional Chinese medicine. Thanks to its triple action, it meets the needs of consumers looking for a natural and effective solution to bring immediate soothing benefits.”

Active ingredients and formulation technologies from Seppic are available throughout South Africa from CJP Chemicals.
