Asian beauties seem to be more and more popular. As a girl originally come from Asia, I always trust the way how Asian take care of our skin. When I was growing up, I watched how my family do the skincare routine everyday. My mom, my cousin, my aunts, all of them love Japanese skincare brand, especially Shiseido, which is definitely the most popular and legendary Asian skincare brand well known internationally.

I am so happy to announce the re-launch of Shiseido’s WASO line inspired by Japanese Superfoods. Originating from a combination of two Japanese words, “WA” meaning harmony, and “SO” meaning inspiration, the WASO line combines Japanese aesthetics with nature to create exclusively formulated skincare.

Inspired by the holistic and natural Japanese food tradition of Washoku – or Japanese cuisine – WASO features key ingredients selectively chosen for their purity and celebrated in their simplest forms. Featuring a simple and minimalist line-up of products that take a unique approach, fusing nature and technology, to bring out natural beauty. This line is designed specifically for unstable, unbalanced skin in young adults, ages 18-25.

Washoku respects the uniqueness of each ingredient and maximizes its natural flavor. Born based on this philosophy, WASO uses the power of foods and botanicals known to promote beauty and health in Japan, unveiling skin’s most unique, natural beauty. Shiseido’s PhytoResist System+ is designed for unstable young adult skin – plump and lush inside, yet sensitive to stress outside. This system uses the power of botanicals to heighten skins barrier and support its ability to self-renew.

WASO’s moisturizers use Whole Cell Release System W – a revolutionary process in which nutrients are carefully extracted and delivered directly to the skin, infusing it with moisture. Each product is dermatologist tested and non-comedogenic, paraben-free and mineral oil-free so skin can breathe easy. Good for all skin types.

The key ingredients are Superfoods. Created with respect for nature, aesthetic, and culture, the product range is formulated with botanicals and includes superfoods like carrot, loquat, honey, tofu yuzu and red basil to help balance, hydrate and prevent the appearance of imperfections.
