Green Pentanediol®

This item is 100% naturally-derived pentanediol that has been made from bagasse, which is a recycled resource. Bagasse is the pomace that remains after sugarcane has been squeezed, and it is said that hundreds of millions of tons this are generated annually worldwide, most of which becomes waste. Green Pentanediol® is an antibacterial agent that possesses moisturizing effects, and it is produced by effectively utilizing bagasse that was previously being discarded. In addition, this product fulfills the need for a plant-derived antiseptic, and at the same time, supports the development of products that are focused on social responsibility and environmental conservation.

Color of Source Butterfly Blue®

This product is a naturally-derived colorant that is obtained from the butterfly pea, which is known as a plant that produces a mysterious blue color. The beautiful blue color is a type of polyphenol, and it is incorporated into cosmetics in Thailand and Malaysia. Contracted farmers grow the flowers without pesticides, and then carefully harvest these by hand. This is a domestically-produced product that has been given a standardized color value, which indicates the level of the color tone.
