Have you guys heard about Ukiyoe x Hinatahina soap? It was my first time know about their product, Lactobacillus Soap by them. We were invited to a brunch at The Ben's Pavilion. Kaylee, the founder of Luxella was kind enough to invite few bloggers to this brunch meeting.
About Luxellaa
Luxella is a platform to introduce high-quality Japanese beauty products to beauty addicts around the world. They're based in Tokyo and have access to the latest products available in Japan.
Not only that we were greeted by Kaylee, we also had a short briefing about the brand and product by Miko-chan, the brand ambassador of Hinatahina!
Hinata-Hina is produced from an advanced Japanese biotechnology. Their products produce extensive research that focused on finding a way to fully utilize the skin's own inherent abilities.
One of their researchers suffered from a terrible case of rough skin on her hands. While she's researching on lactic acid bacteria which she noticed her skin gradually improving and eventually her skin became clear, shiny and blemish-free. This coincidental discovery led to the birth of their original patented lactic acid bacteria, "BiProGE", which is the main ingredient in their soap, 'Hinata-Hina". The term Hinata-Hina was derived from the desire to have the ability to help maintain a skin that is capable of absorbing the abundant blessings of the earth, thereby maintaining its youthfulness.
Ukiyo-e (Japanese Art) was popular during the Edo Period. The Japanese beauties that were depicted in Ukiyoe had flawless and beautiful skin. For those wishing to have such beautiful skin, the main facial wash that was used during that period was rice bran, and Hinata-Hina is a product made from the unique combination of lactic acid bacteria that have been cultured in rice bran with Ukioe to achieve beautiful skin. Their product is made in Japan.
Hinata-Hina Soap
- Lactobacillus Soap -
Made in Japan is a commitment to making soap that is simply made necessary. It draws out the natural skin of the skin and leads to the natural beauty of the skin which was born.
Key ingredients
BiProGE Lactic Acid Bacteria
There are so many microorganisms, minerals and other materials in abundance in the soil. The lactic acid bacteria in Hinata-Hina are extracted from plant lactic acid bacteria and yeast that have been cultured in rice bran, resulting in a mild soap that foams extensively. The strengths from lactic acid bacteria and yeast work in unison to bring out your skin's own inner strength. This mild soap can be used by those who have sensitive skin as well.
It also contains Olive Tree Oil
and Honey that can moisturize your skin too.
Why is in soap form?
Hinata-Hina is a mild alkaline soap. If a mildly acidic soap is used to cleanse our mildly acidic skin, the soap will be gentle on our skin, but it will be difficult to wash away the dirt and old keratin, and there's a possibility that the dirt and sebum will accumulate. A mild alkaline soap is far more capable of washing away the dirt. This means that there might be some damages to the skin, but after washing with this alkaline soap, our skin has a natural tendency to revert to being mildly acidic, so there is no need to worry. If there is a build-up of old keratin, the skin's natural turnover rate will diminish. Use a mild alkaline soap to stimulate the skin to bring out its own inherent strength.
On the spot live demonstration on how to use the Hinata-Hina Soap on our hand. The texture is super soft on our hand! With only the foam rub against our skin, yet you can feel our skin feel so clean and smooth after rinsing it off with water.
It's lather easily to the marshmallow bubbles foam with just minimal of water needed. It stays on the skin with the bouncy marshmallow foam from the soap too.
How to use
1. It makes the best marshmallow bubbles with a net.
2. Add the adequate amount of water an rub against the soap to start create the bubble foam.
3. Rub your skin with the foam and not your hand. Gently cover your face with marshmallow bubble. Leave bubbles for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
4. Rinse thoroughly with cold water or lukewarm water. Preferably, do not rub the skin.
5. Gently wipe the skin with a towel. Do not wipe the skin strongly with a towel.
