Mastic tree resin extract – Switzerland

The extract made from the mastic tree resin is a natural alternative to retinol. Mastic is an aromatic resin that comes from a tree which exclusively grows on the Greek island of Chios. Djusie’s The Juice Moisturizing Power Fluid contains vectorized mastic, which means that the active ingredient is encapsulated. This is what makes the extract so effective. It has been proven by in vivo tests to increase skin density and elasticity, to give lifting effect, refine pore visibility, decrease sebum secretion and blemishes, and increase the skin’s moisture level. The extract has been found to support the retinoic acid that occurs naturally in the skin by limiting the activity of the enzyme that destroys it.

Shiitake mushroom extract – France

Revered in Japan as the “Elixir of Life”, the shiitake mushroom is celebrated for its regenerative and protective power. Djusie uses a titrated shiitake extract, standardized for its lentinan and β-glucan content – ensuring consistent bioactivity and clinically proven efficacy in activating the skin’s immune system.

As we age, or under UV and environmental stress, the skin’s immune system weakens.
Lentinan, a natural polysaccharide composed of βD-1,3 and βD-1,6 glucans, reactivates Langerhans cells, keratinocytes, and macrophages, triggering the skin’s natural immune defense. It stimulates interleukin-1 (IL-1) production, enhancing cell communication and protecting against inflammation and premature ageing.

The shiitake extract used in Djusie’s products is titrated with a precisely standardized composition: it contains 2% lentinan and 0.5–4.5% β-glucans, along with 38% essential amino acids and trace elements such as copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, and zinc. It is also a natural source of vitamins B1 and B2, as well as provitamin D2, which support the skin’s metabolism and vitality.

Tremella Fuciformis Polysaccharide – Denmark

Tremella fuciformis, known as the snow mushroom, is a pearly, coral-shaped and jelly-like fungus revered in Traditional Chinese Medicine for its ability to preserve moisture, vitality, and beauty. The Tremella extract used in Djusie contains high level of tremella polysaccharides, especially glucuronoxylomannans (GXM), bioactive molecules known for their exceptional water-binding and moisture-retaining capacity.

Tremella polysaccharides form a transparent, moisture-locking film on the skin, preventing water loss and leaving it plump, soft, and vibrant.

In clinical studies, just 0.1% tremella extract increased skin hydration by +64% after 3 hours and +47% after 6 hours, while also reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) by 12.4% after 5 hours.

Unlike hyaluronic acid, which loses its water-holding power over time, tremella continues to attract and bind moisture, offering superior, longer-lasting hydration. For this reason, it’s often called the botanical hyaluronic acid.

Ribes Nigrum Seed Oil, blackcurrant seed oil – Finland

Blackcurrant Seed Oil is a supercritical CO2 extract of blackcurrant seeds.

Carbon dioxide-extracted blackcurrant seed oil contains gamma-linolenic acid and omega-3 fatty acids in an optimal ratio.It is one of the rare plant oils containing omega-6 and omega-3-fatty acids in an optimal physiological ratio. Blackcurrant seed oil is an excellent active ingredient for sensitive and ageing skin. It smooths fine lines, moisturizes, renews, and brightens the skin. Additionally, it soothes sensitive and irritated skin while providing protection against the harmful effects of UV radiation. Vitamin E and beta-carotene protect against damage caused by free radicals, and phytosterols strengthen cell membranes. Essential fatty acids support the skin’s natural functions.
