Origin Story behind this Product: Japanese skincare dating back to the Nara period (710–794 AD) traditionally used natural ingredients like rice bran and camellia oil rich in antioxidants and vitamins for moisturizing and protecting the skin. This ancient wisdom was echoed by figures such as Zen monk Eisai who introduced matcha in the 12th century and noblewoman Murasaki Shikibu suggesting the aristocracy's use of natural skincare substances. Modern products like the Japanese Matcha Tea Antioxidant Body Lotion blend this historical knowledge with contemporary science incorporating green tea extract niacinamide and vitamin E to nourish and protect the skin reflecting centuries of Japanese skincare philosophy.
