Instant Dewy Glow, No Wait

Get a hydrated, radiant look the second you apply it. Users say it gives an 'instant dewy finish' that makes skin look awake and healthy, not oily or shiny.

Feels Like Nothing On

Experience deep hydration without the sticky, heavy feeling of some creams. The 'melting' texture absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling refreshed, not tacky.

Fixes Makeup Over Dry Spots

Smooth over dry patches or cakey makeup throughout the day. It hydrates and 'melts' makeup back into place for a fresh, seamless look without starting over.

A Hydration Boost Anywhere, Anytime

Use it over your skincare, under your foundation, or on top of your makeup for a quick pick-me-up. It's your secret weapon against office AC, travel dryness, or winter air.

Plumps Fine Lines From Dehydration

Visibly minimize the look of fine lines caused by lack of moisture. Hydrated skin looks smoother and more supple, giving a youthful, plump appearance.

Soothes Tight, Uncomfortable Skin

Relieve that tight, pulling sensation fast. The formula delivers immediate relief to skin stressed by weather, pollution, or harsh cleansers.

Simplifies Your Skincare Routine

One product acts as a serum, primer, and touch-up tool. It's the multi-tasking step that cuts down on bottles and saves time in your morning or evening routine.

Trusted, No-Nonsense Japanese Quality

Feel confident you're using a serious skincare tool, not a gimmick. It's made by a 70+ year Japanese brand in a certified facility, with real science behind the 'melting' effect.

1. **Melting Stick Technology** — A solid stick that transforms upon skin contact into a light, watery essence, delivering concentrated hydration without greasiness.

2. **Urumina+ Complex** — Kose's proprietary blend designed to mimic and support the skin's natural moisturizing factors for deep, lasting hydration.

3. **Multi-Layer Hydration** — Formula works on surface and deeper layers of the skin to lock in moisture and prevent trans-epidermal water loss.

4. **Makeup-Compatible** — Clear, weightless formula can be applied under or over makeup without pilling or disturbing your base.

5. **No Mineral Oil** — Formulated without heavy mineral oils, so it won't clog pores or feel suffocating on the skin.

6. **Fragrance-Free** — Created without added fragrance or essential oils, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.

7. **Japanese GMP Certification** — Manufactured in a Japanese facility certified for Good Manufacturing Practices, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade quality control.

8. **Portable 3.5g Stick** — Compact, twist-up stick design is leak-proof and perfect for on-the-go hydration in your purse or pocket.

9. **Dermatologist-Tested** — Tested under the supervision of dermatologists to ensure skin compatibility and safety.

10. **Alcohol-Free** — Formulated without drying alcohols, so it hydrates without stripping or irritating the skin.

1. **Apply Directly:** Glide the stick directly onto clean, dry skin. Focus on areas that feel tight or look dull (cheeks, forehead, under eyes).

2. **Pat to Melt:** Gently pat with fingertips. Your body heat will instantly melt the formula into a lightweight, watery essence.

3. **Follow as Needed:** Use anytime your skin needs a hydration boost—in the morning under makeup, throughout the day over makeup, or as an overnight mask.

Timeline Expectations:

- **Week 1:** Instant 'dewy glow' upon first use. Skin feels smoother and looks more radiant right away. The 'no sticky feeling' is immediately noticeable.

- **Week 2-3:** With consistent use, hydration builds. Skin feels more resilient against dry air from AC or heating. Makeup applies more evenly and lasts longer.

- **Week 4+:** Long-term, skin maintains a healthier moisture balance. It looks plump and dewy throughout the day with less need for constant reapplication, even in challenging environments.

Born from Kose's 70+ years of Japanese skincare science, the Urumina+ Melting Moisture Stick was created to solve a modern problem: skin that feels tight and dull from daily stress, pollution, and artificial environments. Kose researchers in Tokyo developed this unique 'melting' stick formula after analyzing thousands of customer concerns about hydration that feels heavy or greasy. Every ingredient is selected for purity and efficacy, meeting Japan's strict pharmaceutical-grade standards. The formula is manufactured in a GMP-certified facility in Japan, ensuring every batch meets the same high quality. It quickly became a top-ranked hydrating stick in Japan, praised for its instant, 'dewy' finish that doesn't interfere with makeup or feel sticky.

The Kose Urumina+ Melting Moisture Stick is formulated with a blend of key ingredients designed to deliver instant hydration and a dewy glow. It contains hyaluronic acid, which is included for its exceptional moisture-retention properties, as it can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, helping to plump and hydrate the skin for a smoother appearance. Ceramides are incorporated to reinforce the skin's natural barrier, reducing moisture loss and protecting against environmental stressors, which enhances overall skin resilience. Squalane, derived from olives, serves as an emollient to soften and soothe the skin without a greasy feel, promoting long-lasting hydration. Additionally, botanical extracts such as rosehip oil and chamomile provide antioxidant benefits and calm irritation, contributing to a radiant, even-toned complexion. This combination ensures that users experience immediate dewiness, sustained moisture, and improved skin texture with each application.
