Sake Lees Face & Body Soap Bar 010 Tea Tree Orange

A cold-process, 100% naturally derived bar soap for face and body. Made with sake lees from Terada Honke, known for natural sake brewing, it cleanses gently and leaves skin feeling moisturized.

Made with sake lees from Terada Honke, a sake brewery since the Edo period

We've generously incorporated sake lees from Terada Honke, a brewery that crafts natural sake in harmony with microorganisms. Terada Honke's natural sake is born from the rhythms played by unseen microbial life, following the natural rhythms of the four seasons.

We recently visited the brewery and spoke with Yu Terada, the 24th generation owner. We shared values that are important to noi's activities, such as "diversity, a循环 of mutual support, and listening to the rhythms of nature." Thanks to the precious sake lees they provided, this product was created.

During our conversation with Yu Terada and observation of the natural sake brewing process, we felt a strong resemblance between natural sake brewing and the forest world in which noi operates.

Both forests and sake involve a delicate balance of diverse organisms, invisible to the human eye, constantly changing and circulating energy to maintain harmony.

Cold Process Method, Aged for Over a Month

Made by artisans using natural vegetable oils as raw ingredients.It is produced using the cold process method, a non-heating method where it is aged for over a month without adding heat, and the natural glycerin produced during saponification helps protect the skin's moisture.

It cleanses thoroughly without stripping too much sebum, removing dirt while protecting the skin barrier.It is also highly biodegradable, meaning wastewater easily returns to nature, making it environmentally friendly.

Gentle scent from organic tea tree and orange essential oils

The soap uses organic certified tea tree and orange essential oils. The essential oil concentration is kept low so it can be used by children, so the scent is not strong, but the essential oils provide a gentle, refreshing aroma along with the natural scent of the soap.
Tea tree oil also has strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and has been historically used for disinfecting wounds and treating acne and breakouts.

Formulation resistant to melting in the bathroom

One common problem with natural soap bars is their tendency to melt easily in the bathroom. I've had several instances where soap bars left in the bathroom melted.
This time, we created a formula that is as resistant to melting as possible so it can be kept in the bathroom.
It's best to use it in a well-draining environment, such as with a soap holder.

This soap bar creates a rich, bouncy lather when used with a foaming net, making washing very comfortable.

The gentle cleansing sensation, without an overpowering scent, is very pleasant, making this a product that makes washing your face a joy.
