The Joy of Cleansing Adult Skin with Organic Products
The renewed cleansers and face wash from the Bounce Glow Series, launched in September last year, join the lineup. These products thoroughly cleanse adult skin troubled by dullness, leaving it fresh and clear.
Bounce Glow Series Key Features
[1] Plant-Derived AHA Ingredients (Common to Cleansers and Face Wash)
As skin ages, its turnover cycle tends to become irregular, leading to a thick, rough texture due to accumulated dead skin cells. The products contain five types of plant-derived AHA to care for skin texture through daily cleansing, guiding it toward smoother skin with each wash.
[2] Dual Bakuchiol
The products contain two types of bakuchiol to condition fluctuating adult skin.
[3] Unshu Mikan (Mandarin Orange) Peel Extract
This unique ingredient utilizes fruit peels left over from juice production as cosmetic ingredients. By converting agricultural waste into cosmetic ingredients, it reduces waste and contributes further to society. The formulation has evolved to perfectly care for adult skin troubled by dullness.
[4] 100% Essential Oil Fragrance
Sweet Citrus fragrance envelops you in the sweet lingering notes of orange essential oil and geranium essential oil. The premium, luxurious aroma transforms skincare time into a blissful experience.
