Silk: The two proteins that comprise silk—sericin and fibroin—are rich in amino acids, and closely parallel the amino acid structure of human skin. This complete protein provides a protective veil of hydration like a second skin without weighing your skin down, revealing a lustrous glow. Silk extracts are also easily absorbed, which allows these amino acids and antioxidants to help condition dry skin, leading to improved resilience.
Anti-Pollution and Blue Light Ingredients: Providing skin protection for modern life, these ingredients create a smooth surface on the skin to help resist the clinging of pollution particles, while deflecting blue light rays. This high-energy light is emitted from electronic devices, like phones or computers, and penetrates deeper into the skin than UV rays. These environmental stressors may cause premature wrinkling and irregular skin pigmentation.
Japanese Pearl Powder: A time-honored ingredient in Japan, pearl has been an integral part of beauty rituals for centuries. In The Silk Powder, pink and gold Japanese pearl powder impart skin with a healthy-looking radiance.

Use a fluffy, long bristle brush to pick up a small amount of powder, swirling to coat the bristles evenly, and tap off excess. Apply powder all over face and buff in circular motions to blend well. As with other protective products, less is more. Start with just a sprinkle of powder, and build from there. May be used alone or over makeup. Beauty sponge not recommended.
Inspired by the opaque white makeup worn by geisha to shield their delicate complexions, scientists at the Tatcha Institute in Tokyo looked to the nourishing, protective power of silk. Combined with Tatcha’s proprietary complex Hadasei-3™ and a blend of pink and gold Japanese pearl powder, this powder gives a soft, radiant finish for a video-friendly glow while the finely milled texture boosts makeup longevity, preventing transfer onto face masks and clothing. Adapting oshiroi’s protective benefits for the 21st century, The Silk Powder acts as an invisible barrier between the skin and the elements.
Inspired by kaizen, the philosophy of continuous improvement and learning, we are on a journey toward sustainability. Like many products in our collection, The Silk Powder packaging was inspired by traditional Japanese natsume, the small, lacquered containers used to house tea. Marrying traditional craftsmanship with 21st century innovation, The Silk Powder is packaged in mono material polypropylene (PP). While this packaging may feel different from our past presentations, mono material packaging is easier to recycle, and we have made this change in service to our community to support a more sustainable future.
