Born in Japan's Kose laboratories, this cleansing foam was created for skin that feels tight and stripped after washing. The goal was simple: a face wash that cleanses deeply without the dryness. The formula centers on 3 types of Hyaluronic Acid, chosen for their ability to hold moisture at different skin levels. Every batch is made in a GMP-certified Japanese facility, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade purity and consistency. It's not just a cleanser; it's a hydration-first approach to cleansing, trusted by millions in Japan and now bringing that same gentle, effective care to your routine.

The Kose Softymo Hyaluronic Acid Cleansing Foam is formulated with a blend of key ingredients designed to cleanse and hydrate the skin effectively. At its core, hyaluronic acid serves as a powerful humectant, attracting and retaining moisture to prevent dryness and maintain skin plumpness, which is especially beneficial for hydration during cleansing. Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate acts as a gentle surfactant derived from coconut oil, creating a rich lather that removes impurities without stripping the skin's natural oils, ensuring a soft and non-irritating clean. Glycerin is included as another humectant to lock in moisture and support the skin's barrier function, enhancing overall hydration and smoothness. Additional components like butylene glycol provide lightweight moisturization and improve ingredient penetration, while stearic acid and myristic acid contribute to the creamy texture and emulsification, helping to stabilize the foam and leave the skin feeling supple. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to offer a thorough yet gentle cleansing experience, delivering benefits such as reduced tightness, improved moisture retention, and a refreshed, hydrated complexion suitable for daily use.
