Description

Native to warm, flood-prone regions of West Africa, Imperata cylindrica, or Cogon Grass, has evolved to survive in extreme moisture conditions. This hardy plant produces long, slender leaves with silica-embedded margins and a rhizomatous root system that stores and retains water. These survival mechanisms are what make FSS Imperata Cylindrica Extract G PF such an effective, natural moisturizer.

The extract is rich in potassium and 3-dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP)—a natural osmoprotective compound found in plants with superior moisture-retention properties. DMSP helps increase intercellular osmosis, effectively drawing water into skin cells and helping retain that hydration even after cleansing or rinsing. Studies show this moisture-retaining activity continues for over 24 hours.

According to the Karl Fischer method, this extract is composed of 65–75% water. When applied topically, it enhances hydration, supports cellular metabolism, and may even promote collagen synthesis for healthier, younger-looking skin.
