What it is
Geruma Germa Bath Kuro Germa is a Japanese bath additive, one 40g sachet per bath. Dissolved in the tub, it blends organic germanium, mineral-rich Dead Sea mud, natural salt, and capsicum extract to warm the body and encourage a heavy sweat, leaving skin feeling smooth and refreshed. The water turns a striking black.
Why it's different
It combines organic germanium with mineral-rich Dead Sea mud for a warming, mineral soak.
Natural salt and capsicum extract boost warmth and sweating beyond a plain hot bath.
The water turns black for a novel, spa-like soak that many hot-spring lovers enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this authentic?
Yes. We only buy from official retailers and directly from the brands here in Japan. Never resellers, never grey market stock.
We are beauty lovers too, so we know the worry, especially with something you are putting on your face. Authenticity is 100% guaranteed by us.
Why does the water turn black?
The Dead Sea mud and mineral content color the water dark. A little black residue may settle at the bottom, which comes from the salt's minerals and is harmless. Rinse the tub after use.
What is the point of the germanium and mud?
They create a warming, mineral-rich soak meant to raise body temperature and encourage a heavier sweat than plain hot water, leaving skin feeling smooth and refreshed afterward.
How hot should the bath be?
Around 38 to 42C works best, adjusted to how you feel. The additive makes the water warm you more effectively, so you may feel hot sooner than in a normal bath.
Any cautions when using it?
Do not use it in an enamel tub, and avoid reheating the water or using it in a circulating bath system. Rinse off in the shower after soaking, and keep the temperature comfortable.
