FSS Fractionated Lemon Cooling OS

FSS Fractionated Lemon Cooling OS is a citrus-powered innovation designed to bring sensorial vitality and scientific efficacy to modern beauty products. Through proprietary processing, Citrus limon is fractionated to isolate its potent antioxidant compounds and aromatic actives. The result is an oil-soluble ingredient that provides immediate skin refreshment while delivering protective benefits. This formula acts as a menthol alternative, giving brands a tool to create natural, invigorating products without the potential irritation associated with traditional cooling agents. The ingredient is rich in polyphenols, known for their ability to scavenge free radicals and reduce the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which contribute to oxidative stress and premature skin aging.

FSS Fractionated Lemon Cooling OS not only combats skin damage at the molecular level, but also delights consumers with its vibrant citrus aroma and energizing application experience. It taps into a deeply recognized symbol of health and wellness while offering technical performance in antioxidant defense — making it a compelling solution for brands seeking both sensory and functional impact.

MADE OF:

FSS Fractionated Lemon Cooling OS is derived from sustainably sourced lemons (Citrus limon), carefully processed to concentrate their essential oils, polyphenols, and cooling aromatic compounds. This fractionated oil blend is designed to deliver high-performance skincare benefits while enhancing the texture and feel of anhydrous formulations.

Scientifically Proven

🦠 Antioxidant Power: In an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) assay, FSS Fractionated Lemon Cooling OS demonstrated greater antioxidant capacity than 200 μM Trolox® at both 2.5% and 5.0% concentrations. At 2.5%, it showed a 23.6% higher free radical scavenging effect, confirming its ability to protect against oxidative stress and visible skin aging.

❄️ Cooling Sensory Effect: In an in vivo sensory study with eight participants, 100% of users reported a perceivable cooling sensation when FSS Fractionated Lemon Cooling OS was applied at both 2% and 5% concentrations. Test sites included the forearm, face, scalp, and lips, replicating real-world cosmetic use.

🧴 Consistent Application Feel: Across all application areas, participants experienced no change in texture or spreadability, supporting the ingredient’s compatibility across diverse formats such as oils, balms, and sticks, without impacting product aesthetics.
