Skincare Benefits with a Gentle Touch
Beyond the charming exterior, the “Magia Botanica Skin Conditioner” remains true to its core promise of gentle and effective skincare. The formula is designed to hydrate the skin deeply, preventing dryness and rough patches. Its key features include:
-
Hatomugi and 6 Herbal Extracts: A blend of Hatomugi extract and six types of herbal extracts (all moisturizing ingredients) works to keep the skin supple and healthy. The gentle herbal scent adds an element of aromatherapy, making each application a moment of tranquility.
-
Skin-Friendly Formulation: The conditioner is formulated to be non-comedogenic (meaning it is less likely to cause acne), weakly acidic, and patch-tested. It is also free from mineral oil and artificial colorants, ensuring a mild experience for the skin.
Each bottle contains 500mL of the skin conditioner and will retail for a suggested price of 825 yen (tax included). For those who prefer online shopping, both designs will be available from April 23 (Thursday) on the Utena official online shop, including their Rakuten and Yahoo! stores.
