INTRODUCING
Sake Kasu
From A Humble Grain
The rice grain is a great source of phytonutrients for your skin and hair: Vitamins B1 and B6, magnesium, potassium, lipids, and proteins, providing skin benefits such as hydration, barrier protection, and reduced inflammation. Yet it's true powers are only unlocked when it goes through Japanese Sake fermentation.

With A Dash of Ferment Magic
All thanks to a special mold that's unique to Japan and the Sake brewing process: Koji (Aspergillus oryzae) and Saccharomyces cerivisiae (Sake yeast), the fermentation process creates something magical with rice.
1) The bioavailabiliy of the nutrients increases,
2) Entirely new skin-loving compounds are created, such as: Kojic acid, Ferulic acid, Galactomyces, Saccharomyces, glucosylceramides, ethyl-α-d-gucoside which boosts collagen production, and other amino acids, peptides, organic acids, probiotics, enzymes, and vitamins.
