This time, we introduce naturally derived skincare and cosmetics recommended for this summer. Summer skin is prone to damage from heat, UV rays, and “inner dryness” caused by air conditioning, so be sure to care for it gently and keep it thoroughly moisturized. We will offer items that gently care for the skin, including: “inaho” skincare, which contains abundant rice-bran-derived beauty ingredients and keeps dry summer skin moisturized; and “Ula Ula” skincare-inspired cosmetics made with carefully selected Japanese ingredients that bring out natural beauty while minimizing stress on the skin. ■Event Period Until late August (planned) ■Venue 1st Floor, Park Front 【Special Day Limited Event】 Date & Time: August 3 (Mon) and August 4 (Tue) 10:00–16:00 (Japan Standard Time) • Pelican Soap Foaming Experience Event Free Soap Sample Present Introducing “Mud Charcoal Soap,” a long-selling product with cumulative manufacturer sales of 20 million units, created with faith in the power of mud and charcoal. By absorbing pore impurities while maintaining moisture in the skin, it provides a refreshing yet non-tight feeling after washing. • Hinoki～Sui Fragrance Experience Event We introduce “Hinoki～Sui,” perfect for this season when lingering heat and physical fatigue become concerns. This bath fragrance allows you to enjoy the refreshing scent of natural Japanese cypress and Aomori hiba as though you were taking a forest bath. Its excellent antibacterial properties also make it useful for dust mite prevention, washing machine sterilization, and as a deodorizing spray.
