Born in Japan's Kose laboratories, the Sekkisei Clear Wellness Gentle Wash was created for skin that feels the strain of modern life—pollution, stress, and harsh routines. Our formulators sought a single cleanser that could deeply purify without stripping, turning to traditional Japanese botanicals known for their resilience. Every ingredient, like the moisture-binding Coix Seed Extract, is chosen for a specific, proven purpose and manufactured under Japan's strict Pharmaceutical GMP standards, the same used for medicines.

Kose Sekkisei Clear Wellness Gentle Wash - Hydrating Japanese Cleanser is formulated with a blend of carefully selected ingredients designed to cleanse and hydrate the skin effectively. Key components include water and glycerin, which serve as the base to provide hydration and maintain the skin's moisture balance during cleansing. Sodium laureth sulfate is included as a gentle surfactant to create a rich lather that removes impurities, excess oil, and makeup without stripping the skin. The product features botanical extracts such as coix seed extract and licorice root extract, which are known for their soothing and brightening properties, helping to reduce inflammation and even out skin tone. Additionally, it contains hyaluronic acid, a powerful humectant that attracts and retains moisture, ensuring the skin feels plump and hydrated post-wash. Other ingredients like butylene glycol and PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil act as emulsifiers and conditioning agents, enhancing the texture and spreadability of the cleanser while leaving the skin soft and smooth. This formulation is free from harsh detergents, making it suitable for daily use, especially for those with dry or sensitive skin, as it promotes a clear, radiant complexion without causing irritation or dryness.
