Mico-QT HAND-FOOT Dermatological Serum

Mico-QT HAND-FOOT serum with Reishi and Cordyceps extracts

Mico-QT HAND-FOOT is our new dermatological body serum of Reishi and Cordyceps extracts with argan oil and urea, indicated for the care, prevention and early management of skin alterations associated with skin toxicity induced by chemotherapy treatments.

At Hifas da Terra we are committed to a new way of understanding health that places the patient at the center of attention, understanding their specific needs and applying knowledge of the natural world, to develop a range of specific cosmeceuticals aimed at preventing and controlling lesions caused in the skin by oncological treatments, especially some types of chemotherapy and the new anti-diana drugs, which helps to favor therapeutic compliance.

The efficacy of this novel organic cream is based on the synergy of its active ingredients, medicinal mushroom extracts Ganoderma lucidum and Cordyceps sinensis on a base of argan oil (Arginia spinosa) , sodium hyaluronate, vitamins and cinnamic acid that modulate cellular activity, minimize skin oxidation and help relieve redness, dryness, flaking and hyperpigmentation, thus promoting healing and protecting against radiation.

Mico-QT Hand-Foot is formulated with extracts of two medicinal mushrooms of high therapeutic interest: Ganoderma lucidum and Cordyceps sinensis . For their extraction we apply the latest technologies, which implies regular fractionation of their bioactive compounds.

Extracts of Ganoderma lucidum and Cordyceps sinensis are rich in a multitude of bioactive compounds including β-glucans, natural antioxidants, B vitamins, essential amino acids, trace elements and minerals (Fe, Se, Zn).

Hyphae da Terra has developed Mico-QT Hand-Foot, a formulation that has demonstrated antioxidant capacity of the two mushroom extracts present: 8.04 ± 0.10 g Trolox equivalent * /100 g ─ Ganoderma lucidum ─ and of 3. 47 ± 0.16 g Trolox equivalent * /100 g - Cordyceps sinensis ─

*Standard used in assays to determine antioxidant capacity.

In experiences carried out at Hifas da Terra, the mushroom extracts included in Mico-QT Hand-Foot have demonstrated antibacterial capacity against several strains of clinical interest.

MICO-QT Hand-Foot contains urea, a component that has demonstrated, in randomized clinical trials, its efficacy in the prevention of dermatological toxicity.

Ingredients

Extracts of Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) and Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis) are of particular interest for the prevention and treatment of the skin against external aggressions thanks to their anti-inflammatory, healing and antioxidant power.

Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis) : the extract of this fungus favors oxygenation and the increase of intracellular energy. It has also demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity and protection against radiation. It also reduces signs of fatigue, soothes itching and itching and prevents desquamation, thus allowing skin tone to be restored. Learn more about Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) .

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) and Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis) act at the cellular level. In addition, it has demonstrated antiperoxidative and anti-inflammatory activity, protecting proteins from oxidation. The skin retains its elasticity and firmness, preventing dryness and flaking.

Hydroxyethyl urea 10%: has shown efficacy in randomized clinical trials to prevent dermatological toxicity of anti-diana and chemotherapeutic agents.

Urea is known to improve the hydration of the stratum corneum. However, topical use of urea shows improved epidermal barrier function and possible antimicrobial activity. Urea has a very low toxicity profile, hence its potential in cutaneous use.

Following excretion of cytotoxic drugs through the exocrine sweat glands and free radical formation, the free radical load exceeds the capacity of the system, which could damage cellular components.

Coco-caprylate/caprate: presents emollient properties that help soften, smooth and lubricate the skin.

Argan oil: acts as a vehicle to the cellular interior facilitating the correct absorption of the active principles of the mushroom extracts. In turn, it regenerates, nourishes, moisturizes and protects the skin.

Vitamin E (tocopherol): has antioxidant properties that help eliminate free radicals that damage the cellular structure. It contributes to the skins healing process by accelerating cell regeneration and helps maintain the skins natural moisture level.

Vitamin C: has antioxidant properties, stimulates collagen formation and helps improve elasticity.

Hydrolyzed collagen: provides elasticity to the skin and prevents the appearance of wrinkles and sagging.

Ammonium lactate: in combination with urea is considered highly effective for skin care.

Hyaluronic acid: powerful moisturizing action for dry and flaky skin.

Glycerin: prevents dehydration and has a regenerating function.
