FAS

FAS Original: Fermented Black Rice Extract*¹

The origin of FAS lies in the encounter between heirloom black rice from Kyotango, Kyoto—revived through local agricultural efforts—and the expertise of fermentation artisans.

This ancient grain is rich in nutrients, especially anthocyanins, the compounds responsible for its deep color.

By carefully fermenting the black rice using a special strain of yeast that produces minimal alcohol, we have cultivated a unique fermentation process that yields 738 types of low-molecular-weight ingredients—such as peptides, polyphenols, amino acids, and vitamins.

*¹ Saccharomyces / Rice Ferment Filtrate (moisturizing ingredient)

We draw inspiration from the timeless values passed down through generations in Japan—reinterpreting them in a way that speaks to the present.

Our aim is to create moments that awaken beauty from both within and without.

Through deep exploration of Japan’s cultural and natural riches, we arrived at fermentation, ancient black rice, and black soybeans—ingredients born of the land, nurtured by tradition, and rooted in everyday life.

Captivated by their profound potential, we chose to express them through skincare.

FAS is a brand devoted to revealing beauty that radiates from the inside out.
