Inaho was founded in a Japanese laboratory focused on one question: why discard the most nutrient-rich part of the rice? While the world prized the grain, our chemists saw potential in the bran. For over a decade, we perfected a cold-press extraction method to preserve the bran's active gamma-oryzanol, a compound recognized by Japan's Ministry of Health for its skin benefits. This cleanser bar is the result—a formula that transforms a local agricultural byproduct into a precise skincare tool. It is manufactured in a GMP-certified facility in Kyoto under the supervision of a certified cosmetic chemist. It quickly became a top-ranking facial cleanser in Japanese beauty magazines for its 'gentle yet effective' performance, proving that true innovation often comes from rethinking what we already have.

The Inaho Gentle Rice Bran Facial Cleanser Bar is formulated with a carefully selected blend of ingredients designed to provide effective cleansing while delivering specific skincare benefits. The primary ingredient, rice bran oil, is rich in antioxidants like vitamin E and ferulic acid, which help to brighten the skin by inhibiting melanin production and protecting against environmental damage. Sodium palmate and sodium palm kernelate serve as the soap base, creating a gentle lather that cleanses without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier. Glycerin is included as a humectant to attract and retain hydration, ensuring the skin remains soft and supple after use. Additionally, rice bran powder acts as a mild exfoliant, aiding in the removal of dead skin cells to reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion. Tocopherol (vitamin E) provides antioxidant protection, while fragrance adds a subtle, pleasant scent. This combination of ingredients works synergistically to cleanse, brighten, and nourish the skin, making it suitable for daily use to promote a clearer and more even-toned appearance.
