Graphical Abstract
Beginning with the constituents of Ganoderma lucidum, we delineated the extraction methods of G. lucidum polysaccharides and total triterpenes. Additionally, we outlined the progress of research on other constituents. We briefly described the functional properties of G. lucidum constituents in cosmetics and the development of cosmetic products based on these properties. Finally, we summarized the types of G. lucidum cosmetic products available in the market.
Abstract
At present, the pursuit of cosmetics requires naturalness, greenness, safety, and high efficiency. Ganoderma lucidum has shown many biological effects, indicating that its application in cosmetics will produce many beneficial effects. Thus, the development of cosmetic products containing G. lucidum has become a research hotspot. Given the biologically active components of G. lucidum, such as polysaccharides and total triterpenoids, different traditional and combined extraction methods are identified. In addition, the efficacy of G. lucidum as an antioxidant, anti-aging, whitening, spot-reducing, anti-sensitivity, anti-inflammatory, anti-radiation, anti-frostbite, water replenishment, and moisturizing component, as well as in combating scalp problems, is described in detail. Cosmetic products containing G. lucidum, which are already available in the market, are also summarized. We believe that studying the effects of G. lucidum other than being an antioxidant and anti-aging component, as well as their proteins and other biologically active ingredients, potential biotransformation, and union with other disciplines, can expand the market of cosmetic products containing G. lucidum and provide insights into the development of cosmetic research on G. lucidum.
