The Foundation of Our Formulas: Hadasei-3
A proprietary complex of three ingredients, each chosen with precision, each sourced from a specific region of Japan where the conditions for growing them are perfect and nowhere else on earth quite replicates.
Akita Rice
From the cold northern prefecture where the purest water and the sharpest seasons produce a grain of extraordinary quality. Supports skin’s natural moisturising factors for a healthy barrier.
Uji Green Tea
From the misty hills outside Kyoto where green tea has been cultivated for over eight centuries. Helps neutralise oxidative damage to reduce signs of premature ageing.
Okinawa Algae
From the waters surrounding the island where the population has long been studied for its exceptional longevity. Helps moisture retention with skin-plumping polysaccharides.
Gold
The precious metal has been used as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, glow-enhancing, and healthy ageing ingredient for centuries.
Green Tea
The popular tea is impressively rich in polyphenols, which are known to have strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Licorice Root
Naturally antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, licorice root can visibly brighten and even skin tone, while also fading dark spots.
Pearl
The glistening pearl is also a potent antioxidant and rich in amino acids, minerals, polysaccharides, and proteins.
