Hello! My name is Kigawa, and I work for Bi Natural and Milobina.

Last time, I talked about how there are many people who, by continuing to use cosmetics containing chemical ingredients, are actually supporting the aging process, which is already progressing inexorably.

Today, I would like to try to explain how to think about chemical ingredients from Milobina's perspective, so please stick with me until the end.

Simply put, chemical ingredients are really convenient when it comes to making them. It is also very useful for improving usability.

Cosmetics manufacturers are companies, so they need profits to continue operating, and the same goes for Beauty Natural.

However, the approach is different. The purpose of general cosmetics manufacturers is not only to make your skin beautiful, but also to meet your needs and sell many cosmetics, so they collect information and develop products every day.

Japanese people are sensitive. Compared to foreigners, I am much more concerned about the usability. If you don't like the way it feels, even good cosmetics will get a low rating and won't sell. They also have a strong tendency to prefer low prices, and a particularly strong tendency to feel that they should be able to obtain high quality and high service at a low price.

We also believe that it is absolutely impossible for products to vary in softness, color, or fragrance depending on the batch, and if this were to happen, the manufacturer would be unable to make a profit due to a barrage of complaints.

Manufacturers' mission is to create products that customers want. We do our best to mass-produce products that are easy to use and of uniform quality, eliminate customer concerns, and sell as many products as possible.

However, even if the usability is good, it will not be effective, so by making the actress used in the commercial a nice person, and spending a large amount of money on the catchphrase and sales method, we will try to increase sales to the target amount. I am.

Have you ever noticed something like this?

Before you know it, a product is gone, and at the same time, a product with a completely new packaging and new name appears. When a commercial is aired with a slightly different fragrance or a slightly different feel, saying something like ``Birth of 〇〇,'' I can't help but run to the cosmetics counter. Like.

What I'm trying to say is that if you're concerned about how it feels when choosing cosmetics, unfortunately you have no choice but to use chemical cosmetics.

On the other hand, nature is an amazing thing, but although it doesn't care about how we feel when using it (lol), it does fully cooperate with us to improve our health and skin. is.

And no two raw materials in nature are exactly the same. What kind of parents did the seeds come from, depending on the climate, soil conditions, balance and amount of microorganisms, and sunlight exposure? Even though we are all the same, each of us is different.

Therefore, although there is a range, it is natural for colors and scents to vary, and conversely, the fact that these differ depending on the lot means that we are delivering it in a state that is close to its natural state.

Milobina has been in business for 16 years now, and has responded to many complaints from people who were concerned about the differences.

I think the most common one is Getto no Izumi...it really has a wide range of scents, sometimes with nice floral scents, and this one! ? Sometimes it looks like ginger-like grass.

Sesame cream also has a big difference in color, sometimes yellowish and sometimes very white.

When we receive a complaint, we ask the manufacturer what was the cause of the difference this time, but there are many different things, such as the timing of the product, the temperature and humidity during manufacturing, and so on. Of course there are things we don't know.

Yes, it is a natural thing after all. It contains the necessary ingredients that are most suitable for the plant at that time.

However, these manufacturers have a good understanding of the goodness of nature and have been making truly effective cosmetics for many years, so they are manufacturers that we can truly trust. We also conduct ingredient analysis, and if the product falls below standards or is too unbalanced, we will not sell it.

In fact, many manufacturers of natural cosmetics often adjust scents and colors by adding or subtracting scents and colors (although they are made from natural ingredients). Of course, this is to avoid complaints and avoid incurring costs in dealing with complaints.

However, by doing so, the best balance that the natural ingredients had in the natural world will be disrupted, so strictly speaking, the grade will drop and the effectiveness will decrease.

I have also tried various cosmetics, and the types that are adjusted in this way are easy to use, but I find it hard to feel the effects. Although sales are good at first, they tend to decline gradually, and stores like Milobina, which sell products based on their effectiveness, do not grow very well.

However, the manufacturers of the Getto and Sesame series prioritize effectiveness. The attitude is different. This is something that large manufacturers, who cannot make a profit unless they sell in large quantities, cannot do, and is only possible as a small manufacturer.

Milobina is small and focuses on effectiveness, so it is perfect for these manufacturers! We also value our relationships.

Only chemical ingredients that are considered to be convenient and safe are approved, but it is not known what effects long-term use will have.

Since it is not found in nature, if you continue to use it for a long time, the genes you want to pass on may eventually recognize it as a foreign substance and cause an allergic reaction. Fragrances are known to easily cause this.

There are many types of synthetic surfactants, but it is known that they damage the skin more directly and break down the barrier zone, causing dry skin.

What's even more scary is that synthetic surfactants and some chemical components tend to penetrate deep into the body and are not broken down, so they accumulate, especially in women, where they tend to accumulate in the uterus.

And, as I always say, preservatives kill both good and bad bacteria, which gradually weakens your skin and causes sensitive skin.

Well, I'd like to end it here for now.

Next time, I would like to talk about tips for identifying good cosmetics.

So, thank you for reading to the end today!

see you.
