COW BRAND Bouncia Beauty Soap Blue 6pcs

Cow Brand has been making soap in Osaka since 1909, and the red and blue boxes are the products that built the company. This is the Blue Box, six 85 g bars of milk soap with a lighter, fresher character than its red counterpart. 

The difference between the two is worth knowing. The red box is the richer, creamier bar with a rose scent, aimed at dry skin. The blue box lathers lighter and rinses cleaner, with a jasmine scent, and suits normal to combination skin or anyone who prefers a fresher finish. Both are made by the kamataki method, a kettle-boiled process Cow Brand has used for over a century, which is what gives the bars their dense, fine lather. Milk fat sits in the formula as the softening ingredient.

This suits normal, combination and oily skin, and works for face and body. If your skin is dry, the red box is the richer option in the same range.
