Key Ingredients:

• Japanese Indigo Extract : During the Edo period in Japan, samurai wore a layer of indigo-dyed cotton beneath their armor. Known as “Japan blue,” the rich dye was also used for traditional firefighter uniforms and presented to newborns in the form of a blanket—a symbolic testament to its protective qualities.
• Hadasei-3: A proprietary complex of double-fermented Akita rice, Uji green tea, and Okinawa algae. This trinity of timeless ingredients work in harmony to reveal healthy-looking skin. With essential amino acids, it supports the skin’s moisture-keeping factors while promoting natural skin surface turnover for beautiful skin.
• Cleansing Lipids: Gently but effectively remove long-wear makeup, waterproof mascara, and daily build-up with cleansing lipids that rinse completely without leaving a greasy residue.
