Step into an elegant "Maiko-style" beauty ritual with the Ishizawa-Lab Keana Baking Soda White Bath Salt Kyoto. Inspired by the traditional alkaline beauty springs of Japan, this medicated bath soak is designed to turn your bathtub into a high-performance skincare treatment. While standard bath salts often focus solely on scent, the "Kyoto" edition utilizes the chemical power of Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) to create an alkaline environment (pH 9.7) that softens the stratum corneum. This helps to lift away oxidized sebum and "old" skin cells from every inch of your body, leaving your skin feeling as smooth and polished as fine Japanese silk.
The scientific brilliance of the White Bath Kyoto formula lies in its combination of purifying minerals and a "Wabun" (Traditional Japanese) Moisturizing Complex. To prevent the dryness often associated with deep cleansing, the soak is infused with Hydrolyzed Silk, Rice Bran Oil, and Fermented Soy Milk Extract. These ingredients work in harmony to provide a "moisture-wrap" effect, flooding the skin with amino acids and lipids while you soak. As the powder dissolves, it transforms the water into a luxurious, softly peach-white (milky pink) hue, creating an opaque"beauty bath" that allows your body to absorb nutrients more efficiently than a standard clear-water soak.
Designed for a single, restorative session, this 1.05 oz (30g) sachet is the perfect way to reset after a long day or to prep your skin for a special event. It features a delicate, powdery floral fragrance that evokes the refined atmosphere of Kyoto’s Gion district. As the warm water stimulates circulation and relieves physical fatigue, the baking soda works to refine your skin grain and eliminate the "roughness" often found on elbows, knees, and heels. It is a fundamental ritual for those seeking to achieve a luminous,"boiled-egg" skin texture from head to toe. With Keana Nadeshiko, you aren't just taking a bath; you are indulging in a centuries-old tradition of Japanese medicinal hydrotherapy.
Alkaline Baking Soda Power: Formulated to reach a pH of 9.7, this soak mimics the effects of a "beauty spring"(Baking Soda Spring). It naturally softens dead skin cells and dissolves stubborn sebum, allowing for a deep-seated clean that leaves the entire body feeling exceptionally smooth and refreshed.
Traditional Kyoto Beauty Blend: Infused with Hydrolyzed Silk and Rice Bran Oil, the formula delivers essential proteins and Vitamin E to the skin. These traditional Japanese ingredients work to repair the moisture barrier and provide a lustrous, healthy-looking glow to dull or dry skin.
Soy Milk Ferment Hydration: The inclusion of fermented Soy Milk extract acts as a powerful humectant, locking in moisture during the bath. It prevents post-bath "skin pull" and ensures your body remains supple and "chewy" long after you step out of the water.
Milky Peach-White Transformation: Upon contact with water, the salts create a thick, milky-pink soak that feels "heavy"and moisturizing on the skin. This opaque water helps to maintain heat, improving circulation and providing a more intensive sensory relaxation experience.
Fatigue & Roughness Relief: The combination of hot spring minerals helps to alleviate muscle stiffness and lower back pain while refining skin grain. It is a dual-purpose treatment that provides clinical-grade skin smoothing alongside traditional hydrotherapeutic recovery.
