Wamino-BonBon (Molasses, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Lees Extract) is a 100% made in Japan extract that is produced with a combination of Sake lees made from a high-quality Japanese Sake and molasses from highly refined Japanese traditional sugar.
It is a preservative-free and natural cosmetic ingredient that is made solely with food materials, with both sustainability and traceability.
Wamino-BonBon substantially changes formulation texture and provides moisture to skin and hair.
There is a new data on Wamino-BonBon for skin flora. Staphylococcus epidermidis, the skin's beneficial bacteria, and Staphylococcus aureus, non-beneficial bacteria, were co-cultured.

Wamino-BonBon has acquired Microbiome-friendly Certification, and it is a useful cosmetic ingredient for skin flora.
