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

Uji Green Tea
From the misty hills outside Kyoto where green tea has been cultivated for over eight centuries. Helps neutralize oxidative damage to reduce signs of premature aging.
Okinawa Algae

Cranberry Extract

Green Tea
The popular tea is impressively rich in polyphenols, which are known to have strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Peony
The blossom moisturizes, soothes, and provides superior antioxidant benefits, thanks to a natural active ingredient: paeoniflorin.
Red Algae
Red algae is packed with antioxidants and water-binding properties that deeply hydrate the skin for a healthy-looking appearance.
Sea Fennel Extract
Sea fennel extract can soothe visible irritation, minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and boost skin’s overall appearance.
