This is a series of posts I wrote in my email newsletter back in my mid-30s, titled "My Story of Graduating from Being a Cosmetics Gypsy," which I'm now republishing for my official blog.
What were the motivations behind the creation of Mirobina, and why did they end up with skincare products made from natural ingredients?
We will leave behind written materials to convey the background information that cannot be fully expressed on the product page alone.

I really want to be beautiful
To our regular subscribers,
For first-timers,
Hello.
This is Nonko, the shop manager of Bi-Natural (formerly Aromatic Life Magic Soap) (*This was the original name of this shop) (*^_^*)
Last time, I was a cosmetics nomad
Next, I talked about how stress from divorce and other issues triggered a terrible case of atopic dermatitis.
Surprisingly, even though they have atopic dermatitis, when we take a blood sample and test for allergies, they show absolutely no allergies! (◎-◎)
Apparently, I don't have any allergies.
The doctor said, "This kind of thing happens sometimes."
This was truly strange.
I sometimes wonder if skin and physical ailments are actually caused by a discrepancy between one's outward state of mind and one's true state of mind.
For example, skin is the boundary between the outside and the inside.
Due to the influence of those around me, I end up acting like someone I'm not, and then my body reacts to that version of myself, as if it's an allergic reaction.
It's taking a long time to fully recover.
There's no scientific basis for it, but it seems plausible in theory.
In my case, deep down, I'm fed up with this man who hurts me, and with this miserable situation!
Even though I feel that way, I don't have the confidence to get divorced with a one-year-old son to care for.
Women are so frustrating!
Certainly, even without allergies, I think my body itself was dirty due to poor diet and other factors.
But I'm absolutely certain that these severe symptoms were caused by some underlying psychological issue and had been going on for two years.
I especially hate losing to men, and being a very competitive person, I now think that I had an allergic reaction to such a humiliating situation.
The divorce issue was resolved when my husband begged me for help, and our youngest daughter was born and we even built a house, but the emotional wounds never healed.
Thanks to my doctor who switched to natural therapies, my atopic dermatitis has improved a little, but I'm still suffering.
Amidst all this, my father received a small bar of charcoal-infused soap from an acquaintance.
I tried it on my red, inflamed face and on my oozing body.
A fateful encounter! An experience full of surprises.
As usual, I carefully lathered it up using a foaming net... Huh, wow, what is this!?
Wow, so many bubbles!!
The more you wash, the more foam you'll get!
Huh??? But, ooh, it hurts!
It stings!!
Ahhhhhh!
This is the original magic soap.
It was a fateful encounter with a super luxurious facial cleansing soap.
We're finally getting closer to opening the shop.
More next time!
