Kose Predia was born from the belief that skincare should be as pure and effective as the ocean itself. In Japan, where the pursuit of flawless, resilient skin is a cultural cornerstone, the brand's chemists noticed a gap: many lotions were either too harsh for sensitive skin or lacked the mineral-rich nourishment modern lifestyles strip away. They created Petite Mer Free & Mild Balancing Mineral Lotion to solve this. The formula centers on a proprietary blend of 5 marine minerals, sourced from deep ocean water off the coast of Japan, and is manufactured in a GMP-certified facility in Tokyo. It's rigorously tested for purity and mildness, holding the Japanese government's designation as a 'quasi-drug' for its efficacy. This commitment has made it a top-ranked lotion in Japan's sensitive skin category for over 3 years running, trusted by those who refuse to compromise between gentleness and results.

The Kose Predia Petite Mer Free & Mild Balancing Mineral Lotion 170ml is formulated with a blend of ingredients designed to hydrate, soothe, and balance the skin. Key components include seawater and mineral-rich deep sea water, which provide essential minerals like magnesium and calcium to nourish and revitalize the skin while improving moisture retention. Hyaluronic acid is included for its superior hydrating properties, helping to attract and retain moisture in the skin for a plump, dewy complexion. Glycerin acts as a humectant to draw water into the skin, enhancing hydration and preventing dryness. Algae extract offers antioxidant benefits, protecting the skin from environmental stressors and promoting a smoother texture. Additionally, the lotion contains botanical extracts such as chamomile and green tea, which have anti-inflammatory and soothing effects to calm irritated skin and reduce redness. This formulation is free from common irritants like alcohol, parabens, and synthetic fragrances, making it suitable for sensitive skin types. Overall, these ingredients work synergistically to deliver balanced hydration, improve skin resilience, and maintain a healthy, radiant appearance without causing irritation.
