Description

FSS Imperata Cylindrica Extract OS is a unique, oil-dispersible extract from a climate-resilient grass species known for thriving in water-scarce and flood-prone regions. The root-derived compounds include high levels of potassium, which plays a critical role in cellular hydration, and DMSP, an osmoprotectant that supports plants in maintaining water content under environmental stress.

These same properties are translated into skincare through improved water retention, enhanced skin plumpness, and a visibly hydrated, smooth texture. Ideal for minimalistic and clean-label formulations, this extract works as a natural moisturizer that doesn’t rely on synthetic occlusives or film-formers. Its lightweight and oil-soluble format makes it especially suitable for serums, facial oils, balms, and barrier creams targeting dehydrated, tired, or dull skin.

MADE OF:

FSS Imperata Cylindrica Extract OS is derived from Cogon Grass roots, concentrated in potassium and DMSP, and formulated for oil-phase delivery. It contains no synthetic additives, making it an excellent choice for natural, sustainable, and clean beauty products focused on hydration and skin balance.

Why It’s Perfect for You:

FSS Imperata Cylindrica Extract OS is ideal for brands seeking to boost skin hydration naturally without synthetic humectants or heavy occlusives. Whether you're developing bare-skin essentials, post-sun soothing treatments, or lightweight anti-aging formulas, this active supports sustained moisturization, smooth texture, and a healthy glow — with a simple, eco-conscious botanical origin.
