90% Fermented Black Rice – Like a Serum in Lotion Form

Unlike typical toners that are primarily water, FAS partnered with expert cosmetic formulators to completely replace water with their proprietary Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment Filtrate.

The result?
A lotion that behaves like a treatment essence — delivering intense hydration without heaviness.

Its silky, lightweight texture absorbs instantly into the skin’s outer layer, leaving skin deeply moisturized yet fresh — perfect even in warm or humid climates.

738 Nutrient-Rich Components From 10 Years of Research

Developed over a decade, FAS’s fermented black rice extract originates from nutrient-dense ancient black rice grown in Kyoto, Japan.

Through advanced fermentation technology, this powerful ingredient contains:

• Peptides

• Vitamins

• Polyphenols

• Amino acids

• Anthocyanins

• And 738 total low-molecular fermentation-derived components

This high-performance fermentation process boosts nutrient density while refining molecules for optimal skin absorption.

Dual Fermentation Technology for Deep Penetration

FAS performs fermentation twice to reduce molecule size further.
These ultra-fine components penetrate quickly into the stratum corneum, helping skin feel:

• Plumper

• More elastic

• Radiant from within

Users often report hydration that feels deep — not just surface-level moisture.

Fermented Aging Care for Radiant, Mature Skin

Designed for adult skin exposed to dryness and environmental stress, this fermented lotion helps deliver nutrients throughout the skin’s outer layers to support:

• Improved glow

• Enhanced smoothness

• Refined texture

• Long-lasting moisture

Low-Irritation Fermentation Process

Concerned about fermented skincare sensitivity?

FAS uses a carefully selected yeast strain that produces almost no alcohol during fermentation. This minimizes the typical irritation sometimes associated with fermentation-based products.

The formula is also patch-tested on sensitive skin (though reactions may vary by individual).

The Story Behind FAS Black Rice Ferment

FAS was born from an encounter between Kyoto’s revived ancient black rice and skilled fermentation artisans.

Black rice is known for its high anthocyanin content and superior nutritional profile compared to white rice. However, its tough outer layer makes fermentation extremely challenging.

After testing 300 yeast strains from over 10,000 candidates, FAS selected a unique strain called Saccharomyces Verona, capable of fermenting black rice under strict conditions without producing noticeable alcohol odor.

This advanced fermentation creates 738 low-molecular nutrients that support hydration and skin vitality.

The black rice used by FAS is sourced from Kyotango, Kyoto — a region known for preserving traditional cultivation methods.
