Self-tanners are normally formulated using dihydroxyacetone (DHA) which is a 3-carbon sugar that when applied to the skin it incurs a chemical reaction with the amino acids in the stratum corneum that leads to a tanning effect.  However in order to provide stronger and faster tanning results while offering customers brand differentiation, we created FSS Cationic Glycoprotein, a fermented material derived from the Yerba Santa plant which helps accelerate the reaction between DHA solution and the skin, providing faster and longer lasting tanning benefits. 

 

FSS Cationic Glycoprotein is fermented using Lactobacillus to allow for more efficient isolation of important glycoproteins. Following fermentation, this product is run over an ion exchange resin to isolate the proper cationic molecules.  FSS Cationic Glycoprotein works by increasing the available free amino groups that can react with the DHA. The product’s cationicity makes it substantive to the skin

Caviar Extract

FSS Caviar Extract

Although the concept of “inner health, outer beauty” is not a new one, consumers are now using ingredients on their skin and hair that are typically considered healthy to ingest. The belief is that if we topically apply highly nutritive ingredients to our hair and skin we may be able to improve their health and appearance. As a result formulators are now searching for novel and extravagant ingredients that not only fortify the body, but convey a sense of rarity and elegance as well.

A delicacy typically enjoyed for centuries by czars, shahs and emperors, caviar is an expensive luxurious treat many like to indulge in on special occasions. Aside from its rarity, unique and delicate flavor, caviar is also highly nutritious. Rich in 19 different amino acids, vitamins, minerals and omega – 3 and omega – 6 essential fatty acids, caviar is considered to be a “super food” capable of fulfilling many dietary needs.

Caviar is rich in glycine and proline which are two amino acids that are part of the body’s natural bio-feedback mechanism which stimulates collagen synthesis, therefore topical application of glycine and proline increase collagen production and help to retexturize the skin while improving resiliency and minimizing the appearance of fine lines.

FSS Caviar Extract is a useful addition to skin care products intended to provide a sense of opulence and extravagance. Functionally FSS Caviar Extract may provide the nutritive benefits of caviar while simultaneously hydrating the skin to leave it feeling smooth and supple

FSS FRUIT MIX

One of the quickest ways to gain a brighter complexion is to introduce Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) into your sk­incare routine. AHAs have been essential to modern cosmetic practice for several decades as they are vital for revealing healthy new skin.

FSS Fruit Mix is based on a standardized extraction of five plant species: Bilberry (Vaccinum myrtillus), Sugar Cane (Saccharum officinarum), Orange (Citrus auran­tium dulcis), Lemon (Citrus limon), and Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum). When combined, these botanical extracts deliver five natural AHAs to the skin: Lac­tic Acid (from Bilberry), Glycolic Acid (from Sugar Cane), Citric Acid (from Orange and Lemon), and Malic and Tartaric Acids (from Sugar Maple). These AHAs are commonly used to treat skin conditions such as rough skin, surface wrinkles and fine lines. Recognized for having exfoliating properties, AHAs leave the skin with a smooth and radiant appearance.

Lactic acid is an excellent moisturizing ingredient and beneficial for most hyper-proliferate skin conditions. One of the key benefits for using lactic acid in anti-aging applications is that research has also shown it is capable of reversing cutaneous atrophyThis will help thicken the skin to create a more youthful aesthetic.

Citric acid is an intermediate in the Krebs cycle and is integral for ATP production, which helps to promote healthy skin by stimulating the formation of fibrous protein.

FSS Bull Kelp BioFerment PF is a fermented sea kelp extract that has been derived by fermentation of Sea Kelp using lactobacillus. Fermentation is one of the oldest technologies used by different peoples and cultures throughout the world for food preservation. Products such as cheese, bread, and wine have been produced, and consumed, for thousands of years by way of various fermentation techniques. Most fermentation is carried out via lactic acid bacteria (LAB) also known as lactobacilli. Fermentation acts as a preservative for foods,enabling smooth digestion, as well as increases the production of vitamins, minerals, and various other phyto-chemicals, depending upon the plant being fermented. The fermentation process converts ingredients from an inactive form to a bio-active form that our bodies can easily recognize and therefore process more efficiently. FSS Bull Kelp BioFerment PF was designed specifically to provide the benefits associated with sea kelp.

Due to its high concentration of vitamins and minerals FSS Bull Kelp BioFerment PF can be used in a wide variety of cosmetic and personal care applications which are intended to deliver nutrients and providing moisturizing properties.
