Hello. My name is Hideko and I am a member of Milibina staff, a beauty and natural brand.

Today is my first blog post...I'm a little nervous, but thank you for your support m(__)m

The other day, I went to a hot spring with a friend.

Milobina's shop is located in Kawagoe, Little Edo, which has been often featured in the media recently. However, it is not in the tourist area, but on the edge of Kawagoe City.

There are many hot springs just a short drive away from the edge of Kawagoe City. At my friend's request, we decided to go to a hot spring that was about 30 minutes away by car and had a ``retro'' theme.

Actually, it's my second time. So, I dashed to the hot springs and drove my car, but even though it was supposed to be my destination,
No signboards appear at all...

"Oh, there were quite a few signboards last time..."

Immediately, a friend of mine took over the role of navigation using his smartphone.

"Ah, this is on the right. Huh? Maybe it's on the left after all. Yes, on the left," Bimyao said, giving us some dangerous directions, but we managed to find the hot spring signboard! The 30 minute appointment took almost an hour.

“Well, drive, drive.” “We were talking so time passed by so quickly!” “Oh, this car had a navigation system!”

And it's carefree. Well, the three women kept talking the whole time, so it certainly went by in a blink of an eye. (Laughs) Whoever came up with the kanji for kanshii is amazing. I'm impressed.

Now, this hot spring.

When I entered, it was different from last time. Apparently, the men's and women's baths had been swapped, and the atmosphere was completely different. Both have the same retro feel, and I was lucky to be able to experience both♪

What's interesting is that in a part of the washing area there is Montmorillonite for facial cleansing packs. It's really a heaping amount in a basin-sized bowl. After washing your face, everyone looked at you with interest. Then, I took a relaxing soak in a slightly warm hot spring.

To explain here, montmorillonite is clay. So, I wonder if young and old women (I don't know if it's in the men's bath) participated in the festival where they put clay on their faces? It looks like this. It is an interesting sight that is rarely seen.

This is actually montmorillonite.

Milobina has been selling the Body Clay Research Institute's ``Nendo Simple Gel'' and ``Nendo Toothpaste'' for a long time. A very popular product.

This product has been scientifically explained in many ways, and I see it all the time, but when I looked into it this time, I was surprised to find out that it has very interesting properties...!

(The following is from the Body Clay Institute)
Montmorillonite is made from a clay mineral called "montmorillonite." Montmorillonite is magma that erupts into fine volcanic ash that is deposited on the ocean floor. It is an earth-derived material that has changed and matured over a long period of time and under the enormous pressure of tectonic movements.

This gift from the earth has been showing great health benefits since time immemorial. So, what kind of effects does this special "clay" have?

We will introduce the "power of clay" that produces this effect.

・Adsorption power – Oh!

Montmorillonite is a crystal the size of a virus, 1/5000th of a millimeter, and is negatively charged, so it attracts positively charged dirt.

Thanks to this adsorption power and ultra-fine crystals, it absorbs dirt and dead skin cells from deep within the pores without damaging your skin or hair.

Furthermore, body clay products also contain moisturizing ingredients. When the moisturizing ingredients pre-blended in Montmorillonite come into contact with dirt, it releases the moisturizing ingredients and joins hands with the dirt. (Function of exchangeable cations) This function helps maintain the moisture balance of your skin.

・Suppressing power (swelling power) – Moisturizing

The ultrafine crystals of montmorillonite have the power to expand their volume to the fullest and contain more other substances.

As a result, the ultra-fine crystals of montmorillonite, which contain plenty of natural moisturizing ingredients and herbal extracts, penetrate deeply into the skin and moisturize it from within.

・Film forming ability – protect, protect

Montmorillonite has the effect of creating a very thin film-like coating. This thin film brings out the skin's natural moisturizing power without interfering with the skin's ability to breathe, and prevents problems by protecting the skin from external stimuli and dirt.

Montmorillonite is an inorganic mineral. Compared to plant-based or animal-based products, they are less likely to cause negative reactions such as allergies.

In Japan, high-quality montmorillonite is produced in Niigata, Yamagata, and Gunma prefectures.
It has been used as laundry powder and bleaching powder since ancient times, and now it is also used in daily necessities such as facial cleansers, body soaps, hair shampoos, and bath salts.
