Tsubaki Oil
Camellia Japonica Seed Oil
Harvested from Japanese camellia flowers prized for their beauty, this antioxidant-rich oil has a long history introduced by the Geishas hundreds of years ago. An all-purpose ingredient that is lightweight for the face, hair, and body, tsubaki oil permeates deep into the cells, promoting skin elasticity and improved complexion.
Takesumi
Bamboo Charcoal Powder
Bamboo charcoal’s powerful ability to absorb toxins has been proven time and time again. Use it on your skin to help rinse away toxins, bacteria, and excess oil. Mineral-rich, it is an amazing detoxifier and purifier, perfect for clearing up skin conditions such as eczema, acne, and cold sores.
Matcha
Green Tea
Rich in polyphenols and catechins, green tea can revive your complexion and keep your skin looking younger. Its high amounts of antioxidants and powerful antibacterial properties make it effective in reducing inflammation and treating skin irritations.
Sake Kasu
Sake Lees
An essential remnant of the time-honoured tradition of sake in Japan, sake kasu is left over from the brewing process. This versatile ingredient can be used as a pickling agent, a cooking paste to add umami to your dish—and an addition to your skin care regimen. Sake kasu brightens the skin and stimulates collagen production, fading age spots and tightening pores.
