"Yasashii Tezukuri. Mini 4-Bottle Set" Calendula Hand Cream Born in Hokkaido

About the "Yasashii Tezukuri. Mini 4-Bottle Set"

The name "Yasashii Tezukuri." (Gentle Handmade.) carries two meanings.

The first is the sentiment of being handmade from Hokkaido ingredients.

The second is the desire to create gentle hands for people.

The "Yasashii Tezukuri. Mini 4-Bottle Set" is a collection of four types of Natural Island's popular "Yasashii Tezukuri." hand cream in mini sizes, perfect for carrying or gifting.

The set includes "Hamanasu Rose" with a gorgeous fragrance, "Orange Ginger" with a warm scent, "Lavender Jasmine" with a gentle, spreading aroma, and "Unscented" suitable for everyone. Like recalling scents and scenery encountered during travels, you can enjoy them according to the recipient's preferences or mood.

Calendula, the main ingredient, is organically cultivated at our own farm in Shiraoi Town, Hokkaido. Without relying on pesticides or chemical fertilizers, we carefully nurture the soil and hand-pick each petal to create the extract.

Furthermore, it contains moisturizing ingredients derived from sunflower, Job's tears, and beet. It envelops dry hands with moisture, leading to plump and soft skin.

It is recommended not only as a souvenir from a trip to Hokkaido but also as a small gift for friends and family, or as a treat for yourself. It is easy to choose for those looking for non-food souvenirs, and its practicality for daily use is also appealing.
