[Product Overview]

WAVE BALANCE ZAKURO

~ Pomegranate Enzyme Paste that Supports Women's Fluctuating Rhythms ~

Adolescence with rapid growth, fertility period of new life, busy periods of constant work, pre-menopausal period when feeling down, and menopause. Women's lives are often visited by times when their physical and mental rhythms tend to fluctuate.

EKATO aims to support all these life stages, and with the philosophy of "excluding anything unnecessary," focuses on women's unique fluctuating concerns. By combining pomegranate, long revered as a "symbol of vitality," with Japanese fermentation technology, we have developed an inner care item that supports the daily condition of modern women.

"WAVE BALANCE ZAKURO" is a pomegranate enzyme paste fermented with figs only, without sugar. It uses only pomegranate paste, figs, and pomegranate extract powder, creating a rich yet easy-to-continue-daily flavor.

[Features of WAVE BALANCE ZAKURO]

1. Fermented with Figs, No Sugar Added

Fermented using figs without the sugar traditionally required for fruit fermentation. It brings out the potential of pomegranate while creating a paste that is easy to incorporate into daily inner care.

2. Focus on the Power of Pomegranate x Fermentation

Focuses on the process of generating ellagic acid, a type of polyphenol found in pomegranate, and urolithin A, which has recently gained attention. This is EKATO's unique inner care that utilizes the power of natural pomegranate fruit and fermentation.

3. High Quality, Peace of Mind, Guilt-Free

Uses Maras variety pomegranate from Persia, which is less astringent and contains polyphenols. The fermentation uses a blend of two types of figs: black and yellow. Without white sugar, artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors, or preservatives, we have focused on ingredients and methods because it is something to be taken daily.
