A small fragrance in the palm of your hand

One day, when we opened this small aroma soap at the editorial office, we felt as if we were gently opening a box of sweets. Its small, round shape gives it a comforting presence, even when not in use, just by placing it on a desk or bathroom sink.

Each scent is unique and these soaps will gently bring a "fragrant space" into your life.
Gentle commitment to natural materials

This soap isn't just pretty to look at.
The ingredients used are olive oil, coconut oil, and palm oil, which are also used for cooking, and are extremely gentle on the body.

Another attractive feature is that only natural essential oils are used for the scent. Every time it touches your skin, the colors and scent of nature gently spread, even softening the air in the room.

A lineup of exciting fragrances
There are a wide variety of scents to choose from. There are variations in sets of six or nine scents, including silk (lavender), honey (orange sweet), and rice bran (lemon). For example, soap made with Minami Sanriku silk brings a calming lavender scent, while rice bran soap offers an exquisite harmony of ingredients derived from pesticide-free rice and refreshing lemon. Choosing a different scent every day is one of the joys of this product.

A gentle time born from careful manufacturing methods
These small aroma soaps are made using the cold process, which allows the ingredients to mature slowly. The scents of olive oil, coconut oil, and natural essential oils are locked in without being lost, and the blessings of nature gently spread when they come into contact with the skin. Because they are measured and boxed by hand, each soap is imbued with the warmth of the artisan, bringing a touch of calm to your everyday hand and face washing.

The attention to materials and careful handwork creates a gentle presence that fits seamlessly into everyday life.
