What it is
It blends in like water within a second of application. Moisturizing yet non-sticky. The natural feel that makes you forget you're wearing it is the result of our exquisite recipe. By focusing on the properties of emulsification, we've achieved a unique feel that is as soft as fresh cream, moisturizing yet non-sticky. It protects your hands for supple, beautiful skin that can withstand rough skin. Formulated with our special beauty ingredient "KaESS," this is truly a skincare-quality hand cream. It has a slightly sweet, gentle, and elegant camellia scent. [Key feature 1] Our exquisite recipe: A meltingly smooth feel that is non-sticky and fills every corner of your skin with moisture. The secret is our unique emulsification. When the cream combines with the acid in human sebum, it separates, returning to its original water and oil components. The soft cream blends in like water, moisturizing your hands without making you feel like you're wearing it. [Key feature [Key Point 2] We want you to use it every day, so this hand cream is made with 100% natural ingredients. It's made with "KaESS," a natural ingredient made from soybeans, persimmon leaves, and eggshell membrane, and is made entirely from natural ingredients. You don't have to worry about using it before cooking, or when handling small children or pets. It protects hardworking hands with gentle, luxurious moisture. It uses only natural and naturally derived ingredients as defined by ISO 16128-1. [Key Point 3] "KaESS" was born from Yoshitaka Gold Leaf Honpo, a long-established gold leaf manufacturer in Kanazawa. The women who worked in the harsh, skin-harming environment of the gold leaf manufacturer, who prepared the washi paper essential for gold leaf production, were known for their exceptionally beautiful and smooth hands. This is how "KaESS" and its exquisite recipe for hand cream were born.

I've been using this for many years. I only use it before going to bed, but it's such a good product that I've never had any dry hands! I think the product is good, but it seems to have become more expensive than when I first started using it. It feels moisturizing, but not sticky. Just use it before going to bed at night and it's effective!
