Hinoki, or Japanese Cypress bark, and Hiba, the leaves from these Cypress trees, have subtle scents which will make customers feel as though they’re surrounded by nature.

These are the first bath salts to be released since rebranding. The soothing Japanese cypress essential oils were sourced from the Kii mountain range snaking through Mie and Wakayama prefectures, while the sun-dried salt from South Australia will help moisturize and hydrate the skin. Use this product during an evening bath to relax after a hard day’s work, or mornings when you wake up a little earlier than usual to prepare your mind for what the day may bring. 

 

Hiba Spray 80 (80ml): ¥1,980 (Tax Included) 

 

 

This hand spray contains 80% alcohol, as well as fragrant Aomori Japanese cypress essential oil and distilled cypress water.

  • Cosmetic Brand SHIRO Unveils Powerful Oil Collection

    04.December.2021 | FASHION

    A powerful skincare collection is coming in January 2022 from cosmetic brand SHIRO. The Oil Collection will feature eight unique products with the company claiming that the life force of the Earth itself is put into each and every drop.    Items in the collection utilize rich plant extracts and other healthy materials and offer something for each and every skin type. Depending on a user's skin and the amount of water used, the oils may react differently. People’s skin changes as time goes on due to stress and things like temperature, and these may help reduce some of that damage.    The eight oils come in three categories: FACE, FACE & BODY, and BODY. Choose the one that best suits your skin condition and daily needs!    

    FACE OIL

    Calendula Oil

    Tamanu Oil

    St. John’s-wort Oil

    Kalahari Melon Oil

        These four oils each utilize a specific extraction method and essential oil depending on the plant used. With different textures and fragrances, they can be helpful for achieving the best possible skin. You can’t go wrong with this lineup, whether you’re new to beauty oil or are a regular user.     

    FACE&BODY OIL

    Japanese Mugwort Oil

    Flax Oil

        This is the first time SHIRO has released two types of oils that can be used on both the face and the body. Sold in a generous size, these are perfect for daily skin care and body massage.     

    BODY OIL

    Castor Oil

    Arnica Oil

      These two body oils soften and moisturize skin while giving off incredible fragrances tinged with essential oils.   
  • Kyary Pamyu Pamyu Produced Science-based Hair Care Brand “Curuput” Makes its Debut!

    01.November.2021 | FASHION / MUSIC

    Artist Kyary Pamyu Pamyu has started a science-based hair care brand named 'Curuput.' The brand's first product, the 'Deep Damage Care Set (Shampoo, treatment, and hair mask)' will be available for a limited time at beauty counters nationwide and online from November 1 2021.   One of Kyary's defining features is her vivid hair color. Behind the scenes however, she has been suffering with damaged hair to maintain her bleached hair. Her goal is to create a future where everybody, including Kyary herself, can dye their hair freely, without the worry of damage. With this in mind, she began production of her own science-based hair care brand that focuses on damaged hair and smells great too.    From the moment you wash off the 'Curuput' shampoo and treatment, your hair will feel silky and moisturized. By using the triple care routine, the products will not only care for your existing hair damage, but continue to repair your hair by preventing future harm.  Kyary's tie-up song 'Perfect Onei-san' plays in the background of the official brand interview, and features on her upcoming 5th album "Candy Racer.' The album is scheduled to be released on October 27.   Why not try Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's new haircare brand 'Curuput' for yourself?   

    Message from Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

    “After many meetings, I think the shampoo is complete! I'm so, so excited for it to finally be released.   I have been having fun bleaching and coloring my hair since I was 18, but my hair would become damaged no matter what I did. I haven't been able to enjoy my 'ideal hair' often, because I’d worry about the condition, and I've even been holding back from dying it due to damage concerns. But then I realized, "this isn't me." It's the same with shampoos - I'd find a great shampoo but I'd dislike the smell, or vice versa.   This new shampoo was created over many meetings and every detail has been considered. In order to create the best hair product, we wanted to create something that made your hair go "Kyurun" (bounce). We also paid special attention to the scent! Each time I would test the prototype version, my hair would become even closer to my ideal hair, so I'm really happy that I had the opportunity to develop 'Curuput.'    We put a lot of thought into this brand, so I would be really happy if everybody could give it a try!”

I deeply believe in the individual power of every human being, and I think that anyone has the power to change the world. “POWER IS YOU” represents the power each of us has to alter the world for the better, which is something that resonates with me personally.
