Kose was founded in 1946 in Tokyo, Japan, with a mission to solve skin concerns modern life creates. The Carte HD line was specifically developed for sensitive skin that reacts to harsh environments, stress, and complex formulas. Our researchers spent years identifying a single, high-purity hyaluronic acid molecule (sodium hyaluronate) that delivers intense hydration without irritation. Every batch is produced in our own GMP-certified Japanese facilities, adhering to Japan's strict Pharmaceutical Affairs Law for quasi-drugs. This mist lotion formula underwent 24 separate stability and patch tests before release. It quickly became a top-ranked hydrating mist in Japan, praised for its 'no-sting' feel and ability to fix a tight, uncomfortable complexion.

The Kose Carte HD Moisture Mist Lotion - Intensive Hydration for Sensitive Skin is formulated with a carefully selected blend of ingredients designed to provide deep hydration while maintaining skin barrier integrity. Key components include hyaluronic acid, which acts as a humectant to attract and retain moisture in the skin, enhancing plumpness and reducing the appearance of fine lines. Glycerin is included for its moisturizing properties, helping to prevent transepidermal water loss and maintain skin elasticity. Ceramides are incorporated to support the skin's natural barrier function, protecting against environmental stressors and soothing sensitivity. Additionally, the product contains allantoin, known for its calming and anti-irritant effects, which helps to reduce redness and promote skin healing. Botanical extracts such as chamomile and aloe vera provide antioxidant benefits and further soothe sensitive skin, while being free from common irritants like alcohol, fragrances, and parabens. This combination ensures intensive hydration, improved skin resilience, and a comfortable, non-greasy feel, making it suitable for daily use on sensitive or compromised skin types.
