The Stack

原料について

Nothing goes in that hasn’t earned its place.

We don’t add ingredients so a label looks impressive. These are the ones doing the work, arranged in the order they work — water first, then the actives, then the plants, then the lipids that stop it all evaporating by lunchtime.

Tier 01

Hydration

保湿 — ほしつ

Water in, and water held. Everything above this tier works better once it is right — which is why two of our four formulas are built around it rather than merely containing it.

Water, held.

01

500×

Tremella mushroom

Tremella fuciformis

Holds up to 500 times its weight in water, drawing it into the skin at several levels rather than sitting on top of it. The closest thing we have to a house ingredient.

Found in

  • 500x Tremella Moisturizer
  • Overnight Recovery Cream

02

3 of 4

Hyaluronic acid

Sodium hyaluronate

Not one molecule but several, at different weights, so hydration reaches past the surface rather than pooling on it.

Found in

  • 500x Tremella Moisturizer
  • Digital Eye Cream
  • Overnight Recovery Cream

03

Polyglutamic acid

Fermented natto derivative

A moisture binder that works alongside hyaluronic acid rather than instead of it — holding water at the surface for longer. Derived from fermented soy, which is about as Japanese as an ingredient gets.

Found in

  • Overnight Recovery Cream

04

Glycerin

Glycerol

The least glamorous ingredient on this page and one of the most reliable. It pulls moisture into skin and keeps it at a level that feels normal rather than coated.

Found in

  • Overnight Recovery Cream

Tier 02

Actives

有効成分 — ゆうこうせいぶん

The measurable ones. Fewer than most brands list, chosen where the evidence is strongest rather than where the marketing is easiest.

Measured, not maximal.

05

Matrixyl 3000 + peptides

Palmitoyl tripeptide-1

The long-game ingredient. Peptides support the look of firmness over months rather than overnight — which is why they sit in the eye cream, where the skin is thinnest and the evidence strongest.

Found in

  • Digital Eye Cream

06

Niacinamide

Vitamin B3

Several unglamorous jobs at once: the look of pores, uneven tone, and barrier support. One of the few actives with evidence deep enough to be boring.

Found in

  • 500x Tremella Moisturizer

07

Vitamin C + CoQ10

Ascorbyl derivative

Brightening and antioxidant support, aimed at the look of fatigue. Paired with CoQ10 rather than pushed to the highest concentration possible — around the eye, tolerability matters more than a number on a label.

Found in

  • Digital Eye Cream

08

Salicylic acid

Beta hydroxy acid

A small amount, in the cleanser only. Enough to keep pores clear over time, not enough to leave skin stripped and squeaking — which is the mistake most acids in cleansers make.

Found in

  • Haku Cleanser

09

Caffeine

Caffeine

Does visibly what it does internally: makes tired-looking skin look less tired. In the cleanser, where the effect lands at the point you most want it — first thing.

Found in

  • Haku Cleanser

10

Vitamin E

Tocopherol

Antioxidant support, and the reason the oils in the moisturizer stay stable. It conditions skin and protects the formula around it at the same time.

Found in

  • 500x Tremella Moisturizer

Tier 03

Botanicals

植物由来 — しょくぶつゆらい

The Japanese thread. Plants used here for a very long time, doing supporting work rather than headline work.

Steeped, not synthesised.

11

Green tea

Camellia sinensis

Antioxidant support against daily environmental stress, and one of three camellias in the range.

Found in

  • Digital Eye Cream
  • 500x Tremella Moisturizer

12

Camellia leaf

Camellia oleifera

The third camellia. Leaf rather than seed or bud, in the cleanser, for antioxidant support against the specific grime of a city day.

Found in

  • Haku Cleanser

13

Cica

Centella asiatica

Calm, unglamorous, reliable. We reach for it when a formula needs to settle skin down rather than wake it up — particularly around the eye, where most things are too much.

Found in

  • Digital Eye Cream

14

Panax ginseng

Panax ginseng

Revitalising botanical support, used in the cleanser where it does its most obvious work: skin that looks more awake after washing than before it.

Found in

  • Haku Cleanser

15

Cloudberry seed oil

Rubus chamaemorus

A rare Nordic oil, unusually high in vitamins C and E. In the moisturizer for brightness support and defence against the ordinary stress of being outside.

Found in

  • 500x Tremella Moisturizer

16

Marine extracts

Sea silt ferment · Black algae

Mineral- and antioxidant-rich, and the reason the Overnight Cream does something you can see by morning rather than only feel at night.

Found in

  • Overnight Recovery Cream

17

Rice protein

Hydrolyzed rice protein

Rice has been used on skin in Japan for as long as it has been used in the kitchen. Hydrolyzed so it is small enough to condition rather than sit on the surface.

Found in

  • Haku Cleanser

18

Calendula

Calendula officinalis

For the days the city wins. Helps calm the look of redness and irritation, which is why it sits in the product you use when your face has had enough.

Found in

  • Haku Cleanser

Tier 04

Barrier

保護 — ほご

Lipids. The part that keeps everything above it from evaporating by mid-afternoon.

19

Tsubaki oil

Camellia japonica

Pressed from Japanese camellia seed and used here for generations. Rich in skin-friendly lipids and absorbs without weight, which is why it works around the eye rather than sitting on it.

Found in

  • Digital Eye Cream

20

Squalane

Squalane

Skin-identical, so it replenishes the barrier with something close to what was already there. Lightweight enough that a rich night cream doesn’t read as greasy.

Found in

  • Overnight Recovery Cream

21

Panthenol

Pro-vitamin B5

Comfort and barrier support, in the two products where skin is most likely to end up tight — the cleanser and the daily moisturizer.

Found in

  • Haku Cleanser
  • 500x Tremella Moisturizer

22

Avocado + jojoba oil

Persea gratissima · Simmondsia

Lipids that support elasticity and keep texture smooth. Jojoba is technically a wax ester rather than an oil — close to what skin produces itself, which is why it sits so quietly.

Found in

  • 500x Tremella Moisturizer

23

Hemp seed oil

Cannabis sativa seed

Lightweight moisture in the cleanser, there for one reason: so your skin doesn’t feel tight the moment you step out of the shower.

Found in

  • Haku Cleanser

24

Organic shea butter

Butyrospermum parkii

Cushion and long-lasting comfort, reinforcing the moisture barrier. Used at a level that adds substance without tipping the finish into heavy.

Found in

  • 500x Tremella Moisturizer
