Hello. I'm Noriko Kikawa (Nonko, the store manager), representative of Bi-Natural.
This "My Story of Graduating from Being a Cosmetics Gypsy" is a story I wrote in my email newsletter when I was in my mid-30s, and I'm republishing it for my official blog.
All 15 episodes will be released sequentially.
For many years, I had tried every product and method imaginable to improve my skin, only to fail each time. I was truly a cosmetics gypsy.
I'd like to share my story of how I encountered a soap that transformed my skin, how I stopped being a cosmetics gypsy, and how I eventually opened Aromatic Life Magic Soap.
My long-term struggle as a cosmetics wanderer
Hello.
My name is Noriko Kikawa, and I am the representative of Bi-Natural, the company that opened this shop.
On November 23, 2003, a shop selling only a single bar of soap quietly opened on Rakuten Market.
I have suffered from acne for many years, ever since puberty.
After that, the pores on my nose became enlarged and blackened like a strawberry, my skin felt rough to the touch, it lacked radiance and looked dull, and my face without foundation was unbearable to look at in the mirror...
Moreover, I suffered from constant itchiness throughout the year, and eventually developed eczema all over my body, so I have had many skin problems and struggles.
Desperate to improve her skin, she tried every product and method imaginable, only to fail each time.
I'm truly a cosmetics wanderer.
That's when I came across a particular soap.
That became the impetus for opening the store under its original name, "Aromatic Life Magic Soap."
I'll share excerpts from my email newsletter from that time, detailing my journey to finally finding my own cosmetics and the story behind opening Aromatic Life Magic Soap.
If you share similar concerns, I would be happy if you could relate to this even a little. We will also be uploading our philosophy and thoughts in due course, so please stay tuned.
