About this product
PELICAN ノーファンデソープ (No Foundation Soap) is a 80g Japanese facial soap that earned its name from a simple promise: with consistent daily use, the skin is so clean, clear, and even-toned that foundation becomes optional. The formula combines a plant-derived mild cleansing base with squalane, hyaluronic acid, collagen, and placenta extract to gently cleanse the face while delivering active brightening and moisturising ingredients that work during the wash step. Made by PELICAN SOAP, the Tokyo heritage body-care soap maker founded in 1947, this facial soap is targeted at Asian markets's growing interest in "skin care instead of makeup" routines — the Korean-beauty-influenced philosophy that the best foundation is good skin. The 80g size is sized for daily single-user facial use over 6–8 weeks.
How to use
- Wet the soap well with lukewarm water (around 30°C).
- Roll the soap in your hands about 20 times, adding a little lukewarm water as you go, then put the soap aside and whisk the foam with air until it is dense enough to stay in place when turned upside down.
- Wash with the foam rather than rubbing with your hands, starting with the oilier areas: forehead and nose, then mouth and chin, then around the eyes, then cheeks, in small circles.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry gently. Dry the bar well after use.
