Soy Sauce-Inspired Hand Creams

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Lunch Charm Hand Cream is Infused with Soybean Seed Extract

— December 18, 2024 — Fashion
The Lunch Charm Hand Cream has been created by Heso Productions in Japan as a somewhat peculiar personal care product that will provide consumers with a takeout-inspired way to keep their hands moisturized this winter. The product features packaging that pays homage to the fish-shaped soy sauce bottles that come with takeout sushi and bento boxes, but boasts a decidedly larger format. The hand cream itself is unfused with moisturizing ingredients like soybean seed extract as a nod to soy sauce, while also featuring Vaseline, shea butter, squalane beeswax, hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed collagen and more.

The Lunch Charm Hand Cream is available now for purchase at train station stores in the Kansai area in Japan as well las from souvenir shops.
