One of Japan’s top-selling sunscreens year after year. Known for its “Aqua Booster” technology, it actually becomes more effective when it comes into contact with sweat or water, perfect for active lifestyles.
Allie Chrono Beauty UV Gel

A popular choice for daily commuters and office-goers in Japan. It’s a lightweight, gel-texture sunscreen that offers high UV protection while staying comfortable even under makeup.
For Soft, Healthy Hair

A J-beauty cult product designed around the concept of “moisture balance.” It blends three types of honey and botanical extracts to hydrate hair while maintaining softness and shine, inspired by Japan’s natural beauty ingredients.
For Inner Health and Skin Radiance

In Japan, beauty supplements are a big deal. This one combines marine collagen, hyaluronic acid, and CoQ10; all key ingredients in Japan’s “beauty from within” culture for youthful, glowing skin.
Yamamoto Barley Grass Powder

A traditional Japanese superfood, known locally as “Aojiru.” It’s a go-to health drink for cleansing the body, improving digestion, and maintaining energy, part of Japan’s wellness habits for decades.
For a Makeup Finish That Lasts
Canmake Marshmallow Finish Powder

Loved by Japanese teens and beauty influencers alike, this cute compact delivers a soft matte finish that’s perfect for humid weather. It reflects the kawaii (cute) packaging culture, while also being super practical.

Iconic in Japan’s drugstore beauty scene, this eyeliner is known for its all-day staying power. Inspired by manga heroines, its precise tip helps recreate the wide-eyed look often seen in anime characters.
