Perusing the papers in the lull over the Christmas and New Year period can elicit some interesting little mushroom related items.
Stalker was reading about Niacinamide - the must have skin care beauty product ingredient for the upcoming year.
It kinda rung a bell with Stalker, who scurried to the science dictionary to look it up. It is quite simply vitamin B3, which of course is one of the vitamin complexes in our bog standard mushroom. One can imagine savvy punters grinding up their fresh produce and smearing it on the visage, seeking that elusive rejuvenation and replenishing effect.
Apparently it will help with pore size, pigmentation and lessening congestion if you believe the blurb!
