KIKUMASAMUNE Rice Made Mild Cleansing Oil 200ml

Kiku-Masamune has been brewing sake in Kobe since 1659, and the skincare line came out of what the brewers noticed about their own hands. Rice ferment and rice-derived oils have been in Japanese skincare ever since, and the KIKUMASAMUNE cleansing oil is the makeup-removing step in that range.

The oil base is entirely plant-derived: rice bran oil, rice germ oil and corn germ oil, with no mineral oil. It melts makeup and sunscreen on dry skin, then emulsifies when you add water and rinses off without leaving the film that puts people off oil cleansers.

What sits alongside the oils is unusual for a cleanser. Glycosphingolipids provide rice-derived ceramides, ferulic acid and inositol are in there, and there is a run of amino acids. As KIKUMASAMUNE skincare goes, this is the entry point for most people, and KIKUMASAMUNE shoppers in Canada usually add the sake lotion afterwards.. One practical detail worth knowing: the KIKUMASAMUNE Rice Made+ Mild Cleansing Oil 200ml is formulated to be safe with eyelash extensions using standard cyanoacrylate glue, which most oil cleansers are not.
