FSS Bio-Water Bamboo
Preserved with Leucidal Liqiuid

Giant cane, or Arundinaria gigantea, is a species of bamboo that can be easily confused for its long-lost bamboo relatives in East Asia, but it’s a remarkable plant that should be celebrated for its sustainability and multifaceted benefits. A native to North America, giant cane’s rapid growth and minimal environmental impact¹ underscore its appeal as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional cosmetic ingredients. As consumer interest in naturally sourced ingredients continues to grow, it is important to remain at the forefront of clean beauty to meet customer needs. By integrating bamboo into their formulations, cosmetic brands not only leverage its unique benefits but also align with a growing commitment to sustainable and ethical practices. Bamboo imagery is often associated with zen-like tranquility instilling a sense of balance and harmony in the mind. Consumers enjoy using bamboo for its natural goodness, versatility, and wholesome sustainability. In everyday life, consumers use bamboo in a wide range of products, from kitchen utensils and personal care items to furniture and flooring. Its natural durability and aesthetic appeal make it a popular choice for home décor, while its biodegradable properties align with a growing emphasis on environmental responsibility. This shift reflects a broader trend towards sustainable living, where consumers are more mindful of their environmental impact and are actively seeking products that align with their values. Formulator Sample Shop, LLC has created a nutrient infused bio-water from bamboo for a silky, smooth texture in sustainable formulations. FSS Bio-Water Bamboo yields a perfectly hydrated canvas sure to bring a newfound sense of serenity.

The skin’s structural and functional integrity is predominantly dependent on sufficient hydration levels given several enzymes maintaining homeostasis within the stratum corneum are hydrolytic and do not occur efficiently if water is below an acceptable threshold. Adequately hydrated skin is flexible, resistant to shearing forces, an effective protective barrier, and appears more youthful with a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Conversely, insufficiently hydrated skin is present in many skin diseases and exhibits a compromised protective barrier, feels dry, flaky, and rough, and is correlated with skin aging. Consequently, proper hydration maintains the skin’s structural and functional integrity and contributes to the appearance of healthier looking skin. Daily application of 2.0% FSS Bio-Water Bamboo augmented skin moisturization by 122%, demonstrating FSS Bio-Water Bamboo's effective skin hydration properties.
