Description

FSS Black Currant Extract OS is a botanical active obtained from the black currant fruit (Ribes nigrum), a vitamin-rich berry traditionally valued for its immune-boosting and rejuvenating properties. Grown in nutrient-rich, damp soil across Europe and Northern Asia, black currant is one of the richest natural sources of polyphenols and vitamin C, both of which play a central role in protecting skin from environmental stress and oxidative damage.

This extract is delivered in sunflower seed oil, making it an emollient-rich ingredient ideal for both hydration and nourishment. It also contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) — an essential fatty acid known to support skin barrier function, hair strength, and overall softness. Its anti-inflammatory properties help soothe irritated or stressed skin, while the antioxidant-rich profile makes it well-suited for anti-aging, brightening, and protective skincare.

Perfect for brands focused on multi-correctional clean beauty, moisturizing hair care, or oil-phase innovations, FSS Black Currant Extract OS brings together a high-performance nutrient profile with consumer-trusted fruit origin.
