Why did we arrive at "Beautiful Skin Medicinal Herbs"?

Kazuyo Makino, the supervisor, has trusted "Mugwort" and "Kumazasa" to be effective for skin troubles since childhood. I decided to definitely include these two. These two medicinal herbs have been familiar in Japan since ancient times. Especially "Mugwort" has medicinal properties enough to be used as crude drugs and Chinese medicine. It is often used for symptoms such as stomach health, sensitivity to cold, and moisturizing, and has antibacterial effects, and has also been used for hemostasis and sterilization of scrapes and cuts. The other, "Kumazasa", is a plant that has been widely used as a packaging material to keep fish fresh, such as rice balls and sushi, since ancient times. It has been widely used as a therapeutic agent for folk remedies, such as drinking it by decocting it for gastrointestinal diseases, high blood pressure, asthma and colds, and applying heat-extracted extract to scrapes, burns, and insect bites. Atopic dermatitis is known to have Staphylococcus aureus breeding on the skin more than healthy skin. The antibacterial effect can be expected to suppress the breeding of this Staphylococcus aureus. In this way, FUKUBISUI believes that the two trusted "Mugwort" and "Kumazasa" since ancient times are indispensable active ingredients for sensitive skin. In addition, by adding "White Birch Sap" there, the effect of leading sensitive skin to beautiful skin, such as antioxidant power and promotion of collagen production, is improved, and it is designed to comprehensively prevent roughness and grant beautiful skin.

Considering "Safety for Skin" above all else

Developed with a non-paraben, non-alcohol, fragrance-free, and uncolored formula so that it can be used by many people regardless of age or gender, as well as skin types such as dry skin, sensitive skin, fluctuating skin, allergies, and sunburned skin. We made it with as much kindness as possible.

We want everyone with "Fluctuating Skin" to use "FUKUBISUI"!

  • How FUKUBISUI was born

    Two people with "weak skin" who have worked as editors and writers in the beauty industry for many years wanted skin care that they could use with peace of mind when they were in trouble, so they decided to develop it.「Strongly realizing that it was said that "Plants grown in that land should be eaten in that land to fully enjoy the power of nature," and thinking「Plants that have been familiar to Japan since ancient times should suit Japanese skin best!」we packed the blessings of Japanese plants, including medicinal herbs that have been used for skin care.

    After spending many years on prototypes, it was finally completed in 2011. At that moment, it was as if the god of beauty and fortune had brought this water. So, with the thought "I want people with skin troubles like me to become beautiful and happy with this water (lotion)!", I named it Fukubisui = FUKUBISUI.

    Furthermore, saying "Since it's a cosmetic, it's meaningless if the skin doesn't become beautiful!", we aimed not only to prevent rough skin but also to lead to skin that is confident even without foundation, which is "healthy" and "beautiful" beyond that.

    It is loved by many people with sensitive skin, atopic dermatitis, acne, and allergies, and those who have overcome their worries have realized no-foundation skin.13 years after its release, the total sales of the series have exceeded 1.7 million bottles, and we have helped many skins.

  • Why did we start with "Lotion"?

    "FUKUBISUI" first focused on "water". Developer Kazuyo Makino sometimes had rough skin even with tap water when her skin was sensitive. However, water has a great power to soften the skin and bring transparency. We wanted to enjoy this power of water even with sensitive skin - thinking so, we started researching lotions that can be used even on sensitive skin. Then we arrived at one answer! That is "do not use surfactants". Taking advantage of the principle that it stings because it enters the skin, we do not use surfactants so that it does not penetrate more than necessary. However, "FUKUBISUI" has been well received for its good skin blending. We succeeded in creating an exquisite balance of texture by combining ingredients that improve skin blending. And one more thing. "FUKUBISUI" is 500ml per bottle. This is because we want you to use plenty of lotion. We tell you that one bottle per month is a guide. By using it up, your skin will become soft and full of transparency.​

  • Each STORY of FUKUBISUI

    What FUKUBISUI aims for is the best skin in your history. That is why we generously invested the wisdom and skills of beauty specialists, made prototypes dozens of times until we were satisfied, and spent many years making it. For example, thinking "It's meaningless unless you use plenty of it splashingly!", the lotion is a large capacity of 500ml. Because "I want to blend it into the skin plenty", the gel is blended in the same ratio as skin oil: moisture. There is an extraordinary!? commitment to every item. We also introduce each of those stories on the blog.
