The answer, while surprising, is yes, but with nuances. Skin Generics Snow Mushroom Dual Texture Moisturiser is designed to be used in both its liquid and frozen state, transforming into a texture that revitalises the skin. This finding invites us to explore the boundaries of cosmetics and challenge traditional beliefs, opening a new chapter in skincare.
We talked to Daniel Jiménez, cosmetologist and technical director of Skin Generics and he affirms that if it is not specified in a cosmetic that it can be cooled or frozen, it can cause the destabilisation of the formula and the loss of its properties.
When in doubt, do not put your cosmetic in the fridge. However, Skin Generics Dual Texture Moisturising Cream with Snow Mushroom (gel-ice) can be frozen. Why? Because its formula contains 20.1% of moisturising agents that help retain moisture in the skin and is designed so that it does not lose its properties when frozen and thawed, allowing it to be used in either of its two textures.

Is this cream recommended for mountain or skiing?
Yes, Snow Mushroom Anti-Stress Moisturising Gel is perfect for extreme climates such as the mountains or during activities such as skiing. Its formula protects the skin barrier, helping to retain essential moisture in extreme cold and low humidity conditions. It also contains ingredients such as Snow Mushroom, Aloe Vera and D-Panthenol, which strengthen the skin barrier, reduce redness and fight inflammation. All this makes it an ideal ally to prevent the negative effects of extreme cold on the skin.
Do you have to apply a serum or oil before applying the cream?
It is not obligatory, but we recommend applying a hydrate serum before using the cream to enhance its benefits. The cream is designed to hydrate and protect, but by combining it with a serum rich in ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, you can achieve a more complete and effective routine. Also, if you use it in cold form by lying it in the freezer, it helps to improve the absorption of previously applied products, maximising their properties.
Does it only work in winter, or can it also freeze in summer?
No, the cream works perfectly all year round. Its innovative formula allows it to be used cold (frozen) or at room temperature depending on the needs of each season. In summer, its cold texture helps to decongest the skin and soothe it after exposure to the sun, while in winter it combats dryness caused by low temperatures. In addition, the product can be frozen and thawed without losing its properties thanks to its formulation.
Does the Skin Generics brand have sustainability policies?
The brand uses vegan formulas with high quality ingredients, dermatologically tested and paraben-free. Its products combine innovation and tradition, inspired by Korean cosmetics to offer effective and skin-friendly solutions. All packaging is recyclable and we manufacture all our treatments in Spain.
Properties of Snow Mushroom, Aloe Vera and D Panthenol
It is a cream that improves elasticity and hydration, stimulates collagen production and decongests thanks to the cold. The focus of Snow Mushroom mushrooms is to keep the skin balanced and healthy, rather than to treat advanced signs of ageing. They are collagen synthesis stimulators with high moisturising activity.
The mushroom is a star ingredient because, on the one hand, it retains hydration and on the other hand, it prevents the action of free radicals, and it is also a perfect support for sunscreen. It balances the skin and protects it by providing antioxidants.
The Snow Mushroom.
Aloe Vera and D Panthenol promote elasticity and reduce redness. It also contains cucumber extract to reduce signs of congestion and inflammation.
Moisturising gel with snow mushroom is an effective protector for the skin during activities such as skiing or mountaineering. Its formula strengthens the skin barrier, retaining moisture and preventing the adverse effects of intense cold.
