Japanese daily routine is based on the use of selective cleansing formulations followed by the application of nourishing treatments to provide to the skin the necessary cleansing-hydrating balance every day. Formulations are based on four essential ingredients which play a key role in the ritual performance.

STEP 1: Pre-cleanse. In Japan it is customary to cleanse the face with a gentle cleansing oil to remove makeup and impurities. Our Natural Cleansing Oil is based on RHEODOL 430V (Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate).

STEP 2: Cleanse. A foam cleanser clears any remaining residues and purifies the skin. Our Gentle Facial Wash provides a rich, creamy foam thanks to AKYPO FOAM LM 25 (Potassium Laureth-4 Carboxylate).

STEP 3: Pre-moisturize. A deep moisture spray preps the skin to better absorb moisture, enhancing its benefits. Our Deep Moisture Spray is a lightweight liquid that is easily absorbed into skin, directly delivering our concentrated active ingredient: EXCEPARL IS-CE-A (Cholesteryl Isostearate).

STEP 4: Moisturize. Once skin is ready to absorb the maximum moisture, apply a moisturizer to form a protective barrier. Our Rich & Fresh Cream is a rich W/O emulsion with a light feeling thanks to PENETOL GE-IS (Isostearyl Glyceryl Ether).
