Kose was founded in 1946 in Tokyo, Japan, with a simple philosophy: create effective skincare that respects your skin's natural balance. The Moisture Mild White Milky Lotion was developed in response to modern life—where stress, pollution, and daily fatigue can leave skin looking dull and feeling tight. Kose's research team focused on a dual-action formula: one that delivers deep hydration while gently brightening the complexion. Every ingredient is selected for its purity and efficacy, sourced and blended in Japan under strict Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification. This lotion isn't just a moisturizer; it's a result of decades of Japanese skincare science, trusted by millions and consistently ranked as a top-selling emulsion in its category for its gentle yet visible results.

The Kose Moisture Mild White Milky Lotion - Brightening & Hydrating Emulsion is formulated with a blend of key ingredients designed to deliver both brightening and hydration benefits. It contains tranexamic acid, which is included to target hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone by inhibiting melanin production, thereby promoting a more radiant complexion. Sodium hyaluronate, a form of hyaluronic acid, is incorporated for its superior hydrating properties, helping to retain moisture in the skin and improve elasticity. Additionally, the product features glycerin, which acts as a humectant to draw water into the skin, enhancing hydration and preventing dryness. Other components such as butylene glycol and dipropylene glycol serve as solvents and moisturizers, ensuring smooth application and prolonged skin softness. The inclusion of botanical extracts like licorice root extract provides anti-inflammatory and brightening effects, while tocopherol (vitamin E) offers antioxidant protection against environmental stressors. This carefully curated combination aims to deliver a balanced emulsion that brightens, hydrates, and nourishes the skin, making it suitable for those seeking a luminous and well-moisturized complexion.
