Born from Kose's Predia line, this essence was created for those who want serious skincare that feels effortless. The formula taps into the mineral-rich waters of the Spa et Mer hot springs, a natural resource in Japan known for its skin benefits. Japanese researchers developed it to be a single, multi-tasking step that hydrates, protects, and preps skin for the day without the heavy feel of traditional sunscreens or creams. Every batch is made in Japan under strict GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certification, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade quality and consistency. It's become a top-ranked daily essence in Japan for its unique texture and reliable protection, trusted by users who prioritize a simple yet effective routine.

The Kose Predia Spa et Mer Mineral Day Essence SPF 30 PA+++ is formulated with a blend of ingredients designed to provide hydration, sun protection, and skin-nourishing benefits. Key ingredients include water and glycerin as humectants to attract and retain moisture, ensuring skin remains hydrated throughout the day. It features mineral-based UV filters such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which offer broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays without chemical absorbers, making it suitable for sensitive skin. The essence also contains marine-derived components like algae extract and sea water, which are rich in minerals and antioxidants to soothe, revitalize, and improve skin elasticity. Additionally, it includes botanical extracts such as green tea and chamomile to provide anti-inflammatory and calming effects, while hyaluronic acid enhances skin plumpness and smoothness. Emollients like squalane and shea butter help to lock in moisture and maintain the skin's barrier function, resulting in a product that not only protects against sun damage but also promotes a radiant, healthy complexion.
