You've heard about the reputation of Japanese cleansers for being thorough yet non-drying and want to try a reputable, accessible product from a established brand like Kose.

Clean That Doesn't Strip

Your skin feels deeply purified yet never tight or squeaky. It's the 'clean but not dry' feeling reviewers love, because the formula respects your skin's natural oils.

Calms The Redness Reaction

It helps quiet skin that flares up from hard water, stress, or other cleansers. Users say it 'reduces redness instantly' and makes their complexion look even and calm.

Foam That Feels Like a Treatment

The rich, pillowy micro-foam feels luxurious and carries the mineral-rich seawater into every pore for a cleansing experience that pampers your skin.

Builds a Resilient Barrier

With consistent use, your skin's own defense system gets stronger. It's better equipped to handle daily environmental stressors without becoming sensitive.

The 'No Regret' Morning Wash

Perfect for AM use because it refreshes without over-cleaning, leaving your skin perfectly prepped for makeup or serum absorption with 'no residue'.

Simplifies Sensitive Skin Care

It replaces multiple products. This one gentle wash effectively removes light makeup, sunscreen, and daily impurities, simplifying your routine.

Skin That Breathes Freely

By avoiding pore-clogging ingredients like mineral oil and silicone, it helps your skin feel light and able to 'breathe' properly again.

A Ritual of Pure Comfort

The mild, 'almost no smell' formula and soft foam turn cleansing into a moment of pure, gentle comfort you look forward to twice a day.

Predia was born from Kose's deep research into the unique properties of seawater. Scientists found that the mineral-rich environment of the ocean supports resilient, balanced skin. This formula was created for modern life, where stress and environmental factors can disrupt your skin's natural harmony. We selected 100% natural seawater from the Izu Peninsula, known for its purity, and combined it with a patented, ultra-mild surfactant system. Every batch is produced in a certified Japanese GMP facility, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade consistency. It's not just a cleanser; it's a return to your skin's most natural, healthy state. This commitment has made it a top-ranked foaming wash in Japan for sensitive skin care.

The Kose Predia Petite Mer Free & Mild Mineral Foaming Wash is formulated with a blend of ingredients designed for gentle yet effective cleansing. Key components include water as the base solvent, glycerin for its humectant properties to attract and retain moisture, preventing skin dryness post-wash. Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate serves as a mild, sulfate-free surfactant derived from coconut oil, creating a rich lather that cleanses without stripping the skin's natural oils. Betaine, often sourced from beets, acts as a gentle co-surfactant to enhance foam stability and provide a smooth texture. Sodium chloride is included as a viscosity adjuster to control the product's consistency. Additional ingredients like citric acid help maintain an optimal pH balance for skin compatibility, while disodium EDTA functions as a chelating agent to improve stability by binding minerals. The formulation is free from harsh additives like parabens, alcohol, and synthetic fragrances, making it suitable for sensitive skin types. Benefits include thorough cleansing that removes impurities and excess sebum, while the moisturizing agents help maintain skin hydration, leaving it feeling soft, refreshed, and comfortable without irritation.
