A new sheet mask designed around a "recovery" skincare philosophy is set to launch on June 1, 2026.

High-Performance Sheet × High-Quality Ingredients
Industry-First Matera Heat-Storage Sheet
The mask features what is described as an industry-first Matera-infused heat-retaining sheet.*¹
¹ According to the company (as of February 2026)
Sheet Design Focused on Skin "Circulation"
The moment the mask is applied, it gently captures body heat and gradually returns that warmth to the skin. This is designed to promote skin circulation, which in turn helps the beauty ingredients that follow absorb more effectively.
Active Brightening Ingredients
Autophagy Ingredient: Juniper Extract
Autophagy ingredient (contains Juniper extract / セイヨウネズエキス)
Autophagy is the cellular "purification system" that breaks down and recycles old or damaged proteins within cells. This process helps maintain a healthy stratum corneum and supports a clear, luminous complexion.
Dual Brightening Approach: Two Key Transparency Ingredients
① Glutathione
A popular ingredient also used in brightening drip treatments. It provides moisture while helping skin appear radiant from within, contributing to a healthy-looking glow with regular use.

② Arbutin
Works to support a clearer complexion by targeting melanin formation pathways, while also refining skin texture for a smoother, more even appearance.
Six Additional Transparency-Support Ingredients
- Sophora Root Extract (クララ根エキス)
- Licorice Root Extract (カンゾウ根エキス)
- Bifidus Ferment (ビフィズス菌培養液)
- Skullcap Root Extract (オウゴン根エキス)
- Mulberry Root Extract (マグワ根エキス)
- DNA-Na
Skin Foundation Ingredients
Protected Hyaluronic Acid
By helping to protect hyaluronic acid from degradation, this ingredient proactively addresses potential loss of firmness and elasticity, while supporting a defined facial contour.
Rose of Jericho Extract
Rose of Jericho (Myrothamnus flabellifolius leaf extract)
Named after a desert plant known for its ability to revive after drying out completely, this extract rapidly replenishes moisture and helps maintain a lasting hydrated feel.
Combined Approach
The combination of the high-performance sheet and premium ingredients works together to address skin circulation, transparency, hydration, and softness in a single step. Regular use is designed to guide the skin toward a consistently bright and clear appearance.
