Lip Cream
A 140 million-tube cult legend. This is the lip balm Japanese salarywomen, flight attendants, and beauty editors have been carrying in their purses for 40 years. Olive oil, squalane, and vitamin E in a twist-up tube for $7. Zero fragrance, zero color, zero gimmicks — just the benchmark every other lip balm secretly measures itself against.
Deep Cleansing Oil
The OG Japanese cleansing oil — olive oil-based formula that became a global cult favorite for good reason.
