Imperata Cylindrica Extract OS is an excellent long-term moisturizer that shows increased hydration effects even after 24 hours.
Background:
Imperata cylindrica, also known as Cogon Grass, is native to warm regions in West Africa that are partial to brief flooding, but it is a hearty plant that is able to survive in a wide range of climates. It is a tall, slender lanceolate that arises from a thick underlayer of rhizomes, and the leaf margins are finely toothed and embedded with silica crystals.
Science:
Due to its natural properties and adaptability to challenging environments, FSS Imperata Cylindrica Extract OS is valued for its moisturizing benefits. The extract contains natural plant-derived compounds, including potassium and 3-dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), which support hydration by promoting moisture retention in the skin. These properties make it an excellent choice for long-lasting skin hydration. DMSP is an osmoprotective compound found in certain plants, contributing to their resilience and moisture maintenance.
Benefits:
FSS Imperata Cylindrica Extract OS helps to promote hydration within the skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth. Its moisturizing properties can contribute to maintaining a healthy, vibrant appearance while avoiding the use of heavy or synthetic ingredients. This lightweight extract offers a natural solution for those seeking a refreshed and youthful look.
