Rooted in ancient botanical wisdom and refined with modern formulation science, FSS Fruit Mix offers a potent combination of naturally occurring alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) sourced from bilberry, sugar cane, orange, lemon, and sugar maple. These ingredients have long been used in traditional beauty practices and now come together to provide a clean, multi-functional active that improves skin texture, tone, and hydration.

Glycolic acid (from sugar cane) penetrates deeply to stimulate collagen synthesis. Lactic acid (from bilberry) acts as both an exfoliant and humectant, helping to hydrate and soften the skin. Citric acid (from citrus fruits) contributes to energy production and cell vitality. Malic and tartaric acids (from sugar maple) further refine skin tone and elasticity. Together, these AHAs gently dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, promote cellular turnover, and enhance skin clarity while maintaining moisture balance.

FSS Fruit Mix leverages the proven biochemical activity of AHAs—such as calcium ion sequestration and stimulation of renewal pathways—to exfoliate, brighten, and revitalize the skin. This blend is suitable for a wide range of personal care formulations, particularly those focused on anti-aging, resurfacing, and restoring radiance.

MADE OF:

A synergistic blend of botanical extracts standardized for natural AHA content. Contains glycolic acid (sugar cane), lactic acid (bilberry), citric acid (orange and lemon), and malic and tartaric acids (sugar maple), all suspended in a glycerin-water base for water-soluble formulations.

Scientifically Proven:

🧬 Collagen Boosting: A Sirius Red/Fast Green collagen analysis showed that FSS Fruit Mix stimulates collagen synthesis in a dose-dependent manner. This activity supports dermal structure and may help improve skin firmness, elasticity, and the integrity of the dermal-epidermal junction.

🔄 Cellular Renewal: In a controlled assay, FSS Fruit Mix significantly increased cellular renewal compared to untreated controls. This enhances skin tone, smoothness, and barrier defense, supporting visible rejuvenation and protection from environmental stress.

💧 Proven Moisturization: A 3-day rinse-off study demonstrated that FSS Fruit Mix increased skin hydration by 25.8% after 8 hours of use and maintained elevated moisture levels up to 24 hours. This highlights its ability to improve hydration, even in rinse-off formulations.

🛡️ Oxidative Stress Reduction: A ROS assay confirmed that FSS Fruit Mix reduces reactive oxygen species by up to 32% in fibroblasts exposed to oxidative stress, showcasing its antioxidant power and protective benefits.

💇‍♀️ Hair Conditioning Performance: In a salon half-head study, FSS Fruit Mix used at 2% in conditioner improved shine, smoothness, hydration, anti-frizz, and combability by up to 57% versus a control conditioner—proving its dual-functionality in hair care.
