In the Western market, the demand for performance-ready J-beauty products is growing exponentially as many consumers realize the beneficial formulas and the powerful active ingredients that are utilized in Eastern countries like Japan.
Drawing on strong cultural inspiration, ranges like Shiseido's 'Waso' diversify the cosmetic industry with highly effective J-beauty products. For example, the Waso Beauty Smart Water is powered by a rice-derived beverage called Amazake. The Waso GIGA Hydrating Cream, on the other hand, possesses superior moisturizing capabilities thanks to the infusion of natto.
While a lot of these products are made affordable for consumers, the J-beauty space also makes room for some higher-end skincare. Clé de Peau Beauté's La Créme, for example, is a highly technical formula that builds on the concept of 'Skin Intelligence,' while utilizing Japanese pearl shell extract.
