Enlighten your skin and mind with the RESOURCE of Japanese forest plants.

We use Natural & Botanical Ingredients.  We bring the benefits of Japan's rich forest resources to your skin.  Just like life cycles, skin absorbs nutrients, grows, and later sheds them to give birth to new skin cells.

RESOURCE From The Forest in Japan

C N F

CNF is a next-generation plant-derived new nano-fiber that is currently being promoted by the Ministry of the Environment of Japan as an alternative to several petroleum-derived raw materials. This nano-fiber is extracted from wood.  When added to cosmetics, CNF enhances excellent moisturizing capacity, increases water retention and thixotropy, and as a result, improves the function of cosmetics.

Excellent moisturizing and hydrating properties

The network structure of the cellulose nano-fibers helps with moisture retention equivalent to that of hyaluronic acid, by creating a film of moisture on the skin's surface, preventing dehydration.

Thixotropic properties smoothes skin, while retaining moisture

CNF when applied to skin, forms a film that traps moisture, The effect is skin surface texture that becomes  light and smooth to the touch.

We use CNF derived from Japanese bamboo and conifers. Our proprietary formulation was developed over a two-year period, to ensure the effectiveness of our ingredients.

Formulation Criteria

HP_water-cascades-shot-of-hands-held-out-to-catch-a-2023-01-04-19-21-26-utc.jpg

Key ingredients are blended in recommended concentrations. 

In cosmetics, there is a formulation rate at which the ingredient is expected to be effective. In our cosmetics, we try to blend in these recommended concentrations, especially for key moisturizing ingredients.

We avoid 12 categories of ingredients for the sake of the skin and the environment 

Putting raw ingredients directly on the skin is not good for the skin. Preservatives and stabilizer ingredients are not necessary for the skin, but they are essential for the safe use of cosmetics. How do we minimize these ingredients while ensuring safety? This is actually a very difficult task, but we are committed to challenging ourselves.
