Featured Ingredients
pH-Neutral Amino Acid Base: This gentle base removes impurities without stripping skin of its essential oils. Unlike most pH-neutral cleansers, this formula foams into a creamy lather, leaving skin silky, smooth, and well-moisturised. This key ingredient also helps to balance the pH-level of the skin, which helps the skin function properly.
Japanese Rice Powder: Used in classical Japanese cleansing rituals, rice powder naturally softens and boosts luminosity, while keeping the skin well moisturised.
Okinawa Algae Blend + Hyaluronic Acid: A special blend of Okinawa algae and hyaluronic acid captures water to help replenish skin’s natural moisture reservoir, immediately leaving skin soft, comforted, and deeply nourished. It also helps to replenish ceramides to ensure optimum skin barrier function, aiding in the reduction of future moisture loss, for skin that is visibly smooth and plump with hydration.

The First Wash Rice
For centuries, Japanese women have rinsed the delicate grains of rice in preparation for cooking and have repurposed the leftover milky water within their beauty rituals. Known as the first wash of rice, this nutrient-rich byproduct serves as a vital source of vitamins A, B2, B12, and E, as well as moisturising proteins that soften and boost the luminosity of hair and skin.
The Importance of Purification in Japan
Kiyome means purification in a general sense; cleanse in a literal sense. From traditional ceremonies to everyday life, it is threaded throughout Japanese culture. Whether cleansing the hands and mouth to make one’s self pure before entering a temple or washing your face at the end of the day, it’s a physical act that cleanses mind and soul and shows respect for yourself and others.
