Aqua Bio Technology ASA (ABT) has been granted a European patent for use of Chaga in cosmetic formulations until 2037. This latest patent secures the rights in both US and Europe. The Chaga mushroom grows on birch trees throughout the northern hemisphere.

The extract from Chagas mushroom has shown good results on wrinkles and general skin improvement. The extraction from Chagas mushroom can be beneficial for anyone suffering from skin conditions such as acne, allergic reactions, rashes, dermatitis, psoriasis, rosacea and eczema. The European and US patent secures ABT's use of this ingredient in existing and future cosmetic products and prohibits other players to use this ingredient without a specific license from ABT.
