Born from Kose's 50-year research into Japanese botanicals, the Sekkisei Emulsion was created to solve a modern problem: dull, uneven skin caused by daily stress and environmental damage. Kose scientists developed this formula by studying traditional herbal medicine, selecting 5 core Japanese herbs like Coix Seed and Angelica Acutiloba Root for their documented brightening properties. Every batch is produced in Japan under strict GMP standards, with clinical testing on Japanese skin types. It's not just a lotion; it's a trusted daily ritual that has remained a top-selling brightening emulsion in Japan for over a decade, chosen by millions for its consistent, gentle results.

The Kose Sekkisei Brightening Emulsion - 140ml Japanese Herbal Milky Lotion is formulated with a blend of traditional Japanese botanicals and modern skincare ingredients designed to hydrate, brighten, and improve skin texture. Key ingredients include coix seed extract, which is rich in amino acids and antioxidants to soothe and moisturize the skin while promoting a clearer complexion. Angelica acutiloba root extract, a traditional Japanese herb, helps to inhibit melanin production and reduce the appearance of dark spots, contributing to the product's brightening effects. Additionally, the emulsion contains tranexamic acid, which targets hyperpigmentation by interrupting the pathways that lead to uneven skin tone, and dipotassium glycyrrhizate, derived from licorice root, to calm inflammation and reduce redness. Hyaluronic acid is included for its superior hydrating properties, helping to retain moisture and plump the skin, while butylene glycol acts as a humectant to enhance ingredient penetration and maintain skin hydration. These components work synergistically to deliver a milky lotion that not only provides deep moisture but also promotes a more radiant, even-toned complexion, making it suitable for those seeking to address dullness and discoloration with a gentle, herbal-based formula.
