Kose was founded in 1946 in Tokyo, Japan, with a simple philosophy: create skincare that works for real life. The Maihada Tsuyashizuku Skin Care Base was developed for people who want effective sun protection and makeup prep without the heavy, greasy feeling of traditional bases. Kose's chemists selected ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramide specifically to hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier, addressing the dryness caused by modern environments like air conditioning and pollution. Every batch is manufactured in a Japanese GMP-certified facility, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade purity and consistency. This formula isn't just lab-tested; it's loved by users, consistently ranking as a top-selling makeup base in Japan for its ability to create a smooth, dewy canvas that lasts.

Kose Maihada Tsuyashizuku Skin Care Base SPF 30 PA++ - 30g is formulated with a blend of ingredients designed to provide skincare benefits alongside sun protection. Key ingredients include titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which act as physical UV filters to shield the skin from UVA and UVB rays, offering broad-spectrum protection with SPF 30 and PA++ ratings. Hyaluronic acid is incorporated for its exceptional hydrating properties, helping to retain moisture and maintain skin plumpness and elasticity. Glycerin serves as a humectant to attract and lock in moisture, enhancing skin barrier function and preventing dryness. Cyclopentasiloxane provides a smooth, lightweight texture, allowing for easy application and a non-greasy finish. Dimethicone acts as an emollient to soften the skin and create a protective layer, reducing moisture loss and improving skin feel. Additional botanical extracts, such as licorice root extract, offer antioxidant and soothing benefits, helping to calm the skin and combat environmental stressors. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to deliver hydration, sun protection, and a refined base for makeup, making it suitable for daily use to promote healthy, radiant skin.
