We adhere to Japan’s official safety and purity standard, one of the highest in the world. Using natural ingredients from renowned provenances, we apply food science principles to transform time-tested beauty into clean formulas.
Every formula starts in the fields and seas of Japan, where we harvest nutrient-dense green tea, rice bran, and algae, the superfoods credited with Japanese longevity. Always looking to what is naturally good for the body to unlock what is extraordinarily good for the skin, our scientists use a natural process of double fermentation to release their bioavailable actives.
