Biotechnology is the melding of nature and the lab to produce safe, effective, and more sustainable active ingredients for skincare. This approach allows to recreate and develop lab-made ingredients derived from nature in a controlled environment, such as hyaluronic acid, probiotics, peptides, etc. to transform skincare routine, while having a lower environmental impact for the planet.

Our own biotechnological journey started when our scientists invented BIYUSEN™ - made from Moor Onsen Water, derived from a hot spring water in Hokkaido, Japan.

BIYUSEN™ is our wonder proprietary ingredient made of Moor Onsen Water and other plant-derived complex of actives. It helps to moisturise, softens and brighten skin while promoting inflammation relief and graceful ageing for a rejuvenated complexion.

We do not use any ingredients that are toxic, comedogenic or harmful to your skin. We have blacklisted more than 2000 "toxic" ingredients and base our formulations on factual evidence, using natural botanicals and plant-based actives as our primary formulation. 

Our formulations contain up to 99% ingredients of natural origin, and are purified of all controversial ingredients, such as endocrine disruptors, irritants, allergens.

We combine natural plant extracts with advanced active ingredients to ensure maximal efficacy.

All our products are infused with our proprietary miracle complex, BIYUSEN™, that is derived from the all-natural Japanese moor onsen (hot spring) water, which is known for its healing prowers.

We are 100% vegan and do not use ingredients derived from animals.

No, we are Leaping Bunny Certified, which means we have passed all the strict international guidelines to not test on animals throughout our supply and production chain. The Leaping Bunny is the most trusted cruelty free certification for non-animal tested products.

Our products are made in Japan.

Take our Skin Ritual Quiz and have your skin needs accessed by our resident dermatologist. Based on your results, have the best suited products reccommended to you.

Inspired by the Japanese Art of Layering and thanks to our Encapsulated BIYUSEN™ Technology, all our serums can be mixed without any contradiction. You can either (1) use the serum alone, (2) layer the serums on different zones of the face, or (3) mix up to three serums in one single step for a customized and targeted treatment.

We believe skin concerns are more important. Skin types can be too generic; it is possible to have dry and dehydrated skin, yet still suffer from acne. It is also possible for oily skin types to be prone to sensitivity. A generic indication leads to using generic products catered for one generic use. By targeting skin concerns instead, we created custom serums to solve your specific skin concerns. Skin concerns change often due to age, stress, environmental attacks, climate or hormonal changes. We encourage you to be attentive to your skin needs, while we promise to deliver more visible and positive results.

All our products go through a rigid and complex testing process by our internal R&D team to guarantee visible results and maximum efficacy. To ensure that the active ingredients have the optimal amount for the best efficacy, we recommend mixing up to three serums. Mixing more than three serums in one time would result in having insufficient active ingredients from each serum to have a satisfactory effect.

Please refer to the packaging of the product purchased. The instruction of use can usually be found under the product description. There are certain products that can be used under the eye area.

We reccommend two serums which are best used to address the under eye area: Forever Young Anti-Aging Serum and Skin Reboot Antioxidant Serum.

The Forever Young Anti-Aging Serum helps to lift and tone the eye area, reducing fine lines around the eyes. The Skin Reboot Antioxidant Serum contains caffeine solutions that will synergically work to reduce eye puffiness and improve circulation to lighten dark eye circles.

Results are very personal and depend on many factors, including your own skin genetics. Skin reacts differently and the time taken to see final results would vary for every individual.

In general, thanks to our Encapsulated BIYUSEN™ Technology, which aids in faster visible results, you would find that skin is smoother, calmer and more glowy upon usage. We invite you to wait several weeks (at least two cycles of cell renewal) to see the final effects of the product because a cell renewal lasts up to 4 weeks. The active ingredients contained in the products can be visibly effective on the skin usually after 6 weeks.
