For over 40 years, KOSÉ has been a trusted name in Japanese skincare, born from a simple philosophy: to create formulas that work with your skin, not against it. The Sekkisei Emulsion was developed in response to modern life—pollution, blue light, and daily stress that can leave skin looking dull and uneven. KOSÉ researchers turned to traditional Japanese herbal wisdom, selecting a precise blend of Coix Seed, Angelica, and Melothria extracts known for their brightening properties. Every batch is manufactured in Japan under strict GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards, the same certification required for pharmaceuticals. This commitment to purity and precision is why Sekkisei has remained a top-selling, award-winning emulsion in Japan for decades, trusted by millions for its gentle, effective results.

Kose Sekkisei Emulsion - Brightening Face Moisturizer with Herbal Extracts - 140ml contains a blend of key ingredients designed to brighten, hydrate, and protect the skin. The formulation includes Coix Seed Extract, a traditional herbal component known for its brightening properties, which helps to reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone by inhibiting melanin production. It also features Tranexamic Acid, which targets hyperpigmentation and improves skin clarity by preventing UV-induced pigmentation and inflammation. Hyaluronic Acid is incorporated to provide intense hydration, retaining moisture in the skin for a plump and smooth texture, while preventing dryness and flakiness. Additionally, the product contains Vitamin C derivatives, such as Ascorbyl Glucoside, which offer antioxidant benefits to combat free radical damage from environmental stressors, further enhancing skin brightness and radiance. These ingredients work synergistically to deliver a moisturizing effect that soothes the skin, improves elasticity, and promotes a more even complexion, making it suitable for those seeking to address dullness and achieve a luminous, healthy-looking appearance.
