FSS AmaraSense

Modern consumers crave more than results—they seek emotional and sensory engagement in their beauty rituals. FSS AmaraSense blends neuroscience and skincare by targeting the skin’s own taste receptors. Our skin, like our tongue, contains bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs) that regulate key biological functions, such as calcium balance and epidermal renewal. AC AmaraSense uses a synergistic botanical blend of artichoke extract, licorice root extract, and willow bark extract—each rich in active bitter compounds—to stimulate these receptors. Upon activation, a calcium influx is triggered, promoting improved hydration, cellular vitality, and visible skin rejuvenation. The result is a powerful combination of sensorial delight and functional performance that supports radiant, youthful skin.

MADE OF:

FSS AmaraSense is composed of three botanical extracts known for their bitter properties and skincare efficacy: artichoke (Cynara scolymus) for antioxidant protection, licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) for its anti-inflammatory glycyrrhetinic acid, and white willow bark (Salix alba) for tannic acid and antimicrobial activity. These components act on skin’s taste receptors to release calcium ions, improving hydration and epidermal turnover while promoting skin balance.

Scientifically Proven:

🧬 Wound Healing and Cell Proliferation
In a scratch assay, FSS AmaraSense accelerated keratinocyte migration and wound closure at a rate comparable to the positive control. These results indicate the active supports skin regeneration and healing by promoting cell proliferation and mobility.

🌞 Non-Phototoxic Profile
Phototoxicity testing showed FSS AmaraSense is non-photoirritating at concentrations of 0.5% to 10.0%. Cell viability remained within safe limits, confirming its compatibility with light-exposed skincare products used at typical application levels.

💧 Moisturization and Hydration

In a four-week study, skin treated with FSS AmaraSense showed a 35.01% increase in moisture after 24 hours and a 27.84% increase after four weeks. It significantly outperformed the base lotion, confirming its ability to enhance skin hydration.

⚙️ Intracellular Calcium Activation
FSS AmaraSense increased intracellular calcium in keratinocytes by 5% at 0.01%, 8% at 0.1%, and 20% at 1.0% concentrations. This confirms its role in stimulating epidermal renewal, barrier repair, and skin homeostasis through sensory receptor signaling.

💦 Transepidermal Water Loss Reduction
TEWL levels decreased by 19.11% after one week and by 10.91% after four weeks in skin treated with FSS AmaraSense. These results confirm its ability to strengthen the skin barrier and support long-term moisture retention.

🧫 Cellular Safety and Viability
In fibroblast viability assays, FSS AmaraSense showed no cytotoxicity at 0.01% and 0.1%, confirming that it is safe and well-tolerated for use in personal care formulations at standard levels.
