“Milk Soap” was launched in Osaka in 1928. Every Japanese know about the popular soap which has a cow drawing on the package. The soaps are purely made in Japan and the main ingredient is the high quality natural fats which are aged over 1 week using the “Kamadaki Method”. As it uses milk butter (milk fat) that is from fresh milk, the soap has been loved by people of all ages because it is “soft to the skin and keep moisture”. The red box is rose flavored and can even be used for facial wash, and the blue box of jasmine flavor gives a refreshing wash.

Additives- and fragrance-free Soap that is friendly to skin & environmental
Soaps that do not use coloring, flavoring, preservatives and stabilizers (additive-free) are less irritating to skins. These kinds of soap are popular because people want to have soap that is skin & environmentally friendly for the daily use. For example, the environmentally friendly “Bubble Soap” (100g, about 150 yen) is famous because “nothing has been added except the soap component (the liquid contains water)”.
