Cosmetics brands born in Hokkaido are getting a lot of attention. The main ingredients used are from plants that grow strong in the harsh northern land, and they solve skin problems and other concerns, making them an indispensable part of everyday life. We would like to introduce you to some of these cosmetics from Hokkaido! This time we will introduce "rosa rugosa," an organic cosmetics brand born in Urahoro Town, Hokkaido. It is characterized by using the rosehip flower, also known as the flower of Urahoro Town, and natural ingredients as its raw materials. Rugosa rose is rich in vitamin C, and many people enjoy rosehip tea, but you may be wondering what it feels like to use it as a cosmetic. I tried it myself and will tell you about it!

1. Lotion

This very thick and viscous lotion penetrates into the skin. In order to ensure that the lotion penetrates deep into the skin, especially during the dry winter months, I recommend using a lotion in your hands and gently pressing it onto your face instead of using cotton. What I like most about it is that compared to other products, it smells much closer to fresh rosehip, so it's relaxing while you're doing your skincare!

2. Milky lotion

It has a very moisturizing feel and can be used as a base before makeup. If you mix it with liquid foundation, it will adhere better and you can create the ultimate foundation that is resistant to wrinkles and rubbing caused by winter masks.

3. Serum (beauty essence)

I feel that my skin recovers quickly even when I get acne, probably because it contains natural beauty ingredients. So at night, I take more time than usual to apply a generous amount of serum to my hands and let it soak in slowly, imagining beautiful bare skin while I enjoy my skincare routine. I recommend it for creating strong skin that can withstand the cold winds of midwinter! It adheres very well to the skin, so you can use it before applying makeup.

4. Hand Cream

The natural oils increase the skin's moisture content, keeping it soft and smooth. This winter, enjoy marshmallow-soft skin without chapped or dry skin with just this one product! The package design features the beautiful red color of the rosehip harvested in Urahoro Town, making it a perfect gift for someone special.

5. Bar soap (face wash)

Because this soap has excellent moisturizing properties, we recommend using lukewarm water to create a dense lather before washing your face. Your skin will feel smooth and supple after washing, and lotion will easily penetrate your skin. It's important to start your skincare routine with face washing!

What did you think? We still need to wear masks for a while, and our skin is feeling stressed this winter. Strengthen your skin from the inside with the power of rosehip grown in the harsh northern soil, and gently wrap it from the outside with gentle, naturally derived ingredients to help create skin that can withstand the cold. The cosmetics from Rosal Gosa we introduced can be purchased from their official website. They also make great gifts for loved ones!
