"Haruhonoka Hagi Tsubaki Bijin Soap" is an additive-free soap based on "Haruhonoka Ocha Soap," using high-quality raw camellia oil from Hagi, Yamaguchi Prefecture. This raw camellia oil is unheated and does not use organic solvents or preservatives, making it resistant to damage and containing 2.5 times more oleic acid than regular camellia oil. It provides a more moisturizing finish compared to the tea soap. The scent is a blend of orange and lavender essential oils, offering a gentle and highly relaxing aroma.
Camellia oil has been a cherished oil for Japanese women for hair and skin care since the Heian period. The camellia oil used in Haruhonoka Hagi Tsubaki Bijin Soap is cold-pressed raw camellia oil from the seeds of wild camellia grown in Hagi, Yamaguchi Prefecture. It harnesses the natural power of the ingredients, with most of the process done by hand and carefully aged for two months from preparation to completion, resulting in a handmade soap. It is a masterpiece (※) with a subtle scent and excellent moisturizing properties. (※ Among our own products)
Specialty Raw Camellia OilWe use only the first press oil made from wild camellia grown in Hagi. Ripe camellia seeds are hand-picked one by one, and selection is done by hand, not by machine, with over three rounds of sorting to ensure only high-quality seeds are used. The oil is pressed using a traditional method without organic solvents or preservatives. Because it is pressed without heating, the oil is not damaged, and its beauty ingredients are not unnecessarily lost, resulting in a premium raw camellia oil that is extremely close to its natural state.
High Moisturizing PowerOleic acid is an excellent moisturizing ingredient for the skin. Camellia oil is said to have a higher oleic acid content than olive oil. Olive oil typically contains 70-80% oleic acid, while camellia oil contains 85-90%. Furthermore, the raw camellia oil used in Harukaze is pressed from high-quality wild camellia seeds from Hagi without heating, organic solvents, or preservatives, resulting in an oleic acid content said to be 2.5 times that of regular camellia oil.
Adopts Cold Process MethodHarukaze's soaps adopt the time-consuming cold process method. Because it is aged at low temperatures, the beauty ingredients in the oil do not degrade, and unsaponifiables such as "glycerin" and "squalene" are fully incorporated into the soap, resulting in high moisturizing power.
