Camellia Oil
Five thousand years of history and exacting standards in every drop. Our Mihara camellia oil is crafted using time-honored techniques and preserving its quality – a testament to the agricultural heritage of the volcanic island of Izu Ōshima. Rich in oleic acid, it is easily absorbed by the skin, whose sebum is composed of 40 to 50% of this same acid. An age-old beauty secret, it softens and relaxes tight tissues, and soothes inflammation. Its resistance to oxidation protects the skin from external aggressors, including the sun.

Koji
Alchemist of beauty. Magical microorganism at the heart of Bizen skincare. It transforms rice proteins into amino acids, star ingredients that provide your skin with precious support: intense hydration, protection of the skin barrier against external aggressions and prevention of wrinkles and sagging.

Rice Germ Oil
It emanates from the Japanese earth, from grains of rice carrying within them a tiny germ, brimming with primal energy and a promise of beauty. It contains an abundance of essential nutrients, seeds of life and allies for your skin. Gamma oryzanol and vitamin E, powerful antioxidants from the plant world, join forces to combat the oxidative stress of free radicals.
