OUR SCIENCE
Unveiling the Science Behind Our Skincare
We're passionate about harnessing the power of nature and science to create exceptional skincare products. Central to our approach is the science of biofermentation, a natural process that unlocks the full potential of all the botanicals that we use.

Our Proprietary Biofermentation Process
Biofermentation in skincare refers to a natural and innovative process where microorganisms like bacteria and yeast, are used to break down skincare ingredients, such as plants, herbs and other natural compounds into newly formed particles that are more potent and more easily absorbed, leading to improved skin texture, hydration, and overall health.

The Furcy Botanik difference is a four-step approach that starts with our rigorous Ingredient Selection. We select natural ingredients such as Djon Djon mushroom and guava leaves, ingredients that are rich in vital constituents.
We then follow this with the process of Microorganism Cultivation. In a controlled environment, our scientists carefully choose and cultivate specific strains of yeast and lactobacillus, focusing on their unique abilities to enhance the potency of natural ingredients.

The third, most important part is our proprietary Biofermentation Process. In this instance, our Djon Djon mushroom and guava leaves are blended with yeast and lactobacillus separately. During this transformative process, the microorganisms metabolize these ingredients, breaking them down into smaller, more bio-compatible compounds. This natural fermentation releases highly efficacious compounds which are beneficial for the skin's health and vitality.
Following this meticulous fermentation process, our mixture undergoes Filtration to eliminate any remaining microorganisms or byproducts, ensuring purity and safety. Once this filtration is complete, the resulting solution is carefully Stabilized.
The result is a groundbreaking, exclusive skincare formulation that’s rooted in nature and fueled by science which offers unparalleled benefits for your skin.

The Benefits of Fermented Compounds
The main benefits of fermented compounds are enhanced efficacy, increased nutrient contents, and improved texture and scent. The fermentation process is also regarded as eco-friendly and sustainable due to its reliance on natural processes.
Enhanced Efficacy: Skin care ingredients become more absorbable, enhancing their penetration to yield better results.

Moisturizers and Hydrators
Hyaluronic Acid
Superior water absorption and retention, Hyaluronic Acid ensures optimal hydration and a soft, supple complexion.
Glycerin
Glycerin is universally acknowledged as the most effective humectant, which attracts water and helps keep skin moist and maintain hydration.
Sucrose
Sucrose is another effective humectant and enhances moisture retention by drawing water to skin.
Squalane
Squalane is an emollient that moisturizes and repairs dry, rough skin. It mimics natural skin oils, all while heightening hydration, vibrancy, and texture.
Tone Correctors
Niacinamide
Niacinamide, a potent form of Vitamin B-3, enhances skin texture, brightens the complexion, and strengthens overall skin vitality. This powerful ingredient is ideal for reducing pore size, calming acne-related redness, diminishing dark spots, and smoothing away fine lines and wrinkles.
Omegalight™
This vegan-friendly and innovative ingredient derived from Safflower oil has been scientifically proven to target hyperpigmentation, effectively lightening dark spots over time. Omegalight™ not only enhances skin tone but also promotes a natural, luminous glow.
Sucrose
Known for its antioxidant properties, caffeine brightens the skin and reduces dark circles and puffiness.
Skin Firmers
Ceramides
Derived from natural plant sources, Ceramides are essential lipids constituting half of the skin's outer layer. With age, these levels decline naturally. Often termed "the glue" binding skin cells, Ceramides form a robust barrier, retaining moisture and safeguarding the skin. This results in improved skin firmness and hydration.
Tripeptides 1 and 7
Together they maintain skin texture and firmness by demonstrating the potential to stimulate collagen production. They boost the vitality and functionality of skin cells, improving both texture and firmness.
Panthenol
Panthenol revitalizes and shields the skin barrier, effectively minimizing redness and regulating moisture levels.
Calmers and Soothers
Hibiscus Flower Extract
Packed with antioxidants, this extract is cherished for its hydrating power. It also soothes and calms the skin.
Vetiver Essential Oil
Our Vetiver, sourced from Haiti’s southern city of Les Cayes, is globally known to be one of the highest-quality vetiver oils in the world. Vetiver promotes relaxation and is a great stress reliever.
Bisabolol
Bisabolol is a naturally occurring oil derived from chamomile. It is known for its soothing qualities which makes it a great option for those with sensitive skin. Bisabolol is also antimicrobial and is great for inflammation, such as acne or eczema flare-ups.
