Born from Kose's 70+ year dedication to Japanese skincare science, the Softymo White Cleansing Cream was created to solve a modern dilemma: how to remove makeup and pollution completely without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier. Kose's Tokyo-based labs developed this brightening formula by selecting ingredients like Japanese Rice Bran Oil and Vitamin C derivatives, known in Japan for their gentle brightening properties. Every batch is produced in a GMP-certified facility in Japan, adhering to strict pharmaceutical-grade standards for purity. This commitment to quality has made it a top-ranked cleansing product in Japan for over 5 consecutive years, trusted by millions for its effective yet gentle approach to a clearer, brighter complexion.

Kose Softymo White Cleansing Cream - Brightening Makeup Remover 210g is formulated with a blend of key ingredients designed to effectively cleanse and brighten the skin. The product contains mineral oil and petrolatum, which act as emollients to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and impurities while providing a smooth, non-greasy texture that rinses off easily with water. It includes glycerin and butylene glycol as humectants to attract and retain moisture, helping to prevent dryness and maintain skin hydration during the cleansing process. The brightening effect is achieved through ingredients like tranexamic acid and arbutin, which work to inhibit melanin production and reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone over time. Additionally, it features tocopherol (vitamin E) as an antioxidant to protect the skin from environmental stressors and support overall skin health. This combination ensures thorough yet gentle removal of makeup and dirt, leaving the skin feeling clean, soft, and refreshed with a potential for improved clarity and radiance with regular use.
