Description

Kikumasamune Sake Skin Care Emulsion 380ml is the sealing emulsion step in the Kikumasamune sake skincare routine for dry and combination skin — delivering a triple ceramide complex (EOP, NP, AP) and four amino acids in a lightweight oil-water emulsion that seals the hydration from the preceding sake toner and provides a comfortable, non-greasy moisture barrier throughout the day. At 380ml, it is one of the largest sake emulsions available in Japan.

  • Ceramide EOP, NP, AP — three complementary ceramide types covering different aspects of lipid barrier function
  • Four amino acids (Glutamic Acid, Serine, Alanine, Proline) — the components of the skin's NMF that maintain stratum corneum moisture
  • Junmai Ginjo Sake (Fermented Rice Liquid) — sake amino acid base for continued hydration at the emulsion step
  • Lightweight, non-greasy emulsion — absorbs cleanly; appropriate for both dry and combination skin
  • 380ml — generous emulsion size; approximately 3–4 months of twice-daily use

How it works: The three ceramide types target different zones of the lipid bilayer in the stratum corneum: EOP addresses the outermost layer, NP and AP work deeper in the lipid structure. Together they create a comprehensive, multi-layered repair of the moisture barrier rather than reinforcing only one ceramide-dependent zone. Four amino acids complement by maintaining the NMF moisture content that keeps the repaired barrier hydrated from within.

Kikumasamune Emulsion vs sake toner — do you need both? The emulsion is the sealing step that prevents the moisture deposited by the toner from evaporating during the day. Without it, the toner's hydration effect is temporary. For dry skin, both toner and emulsion are needed. For oily skin in summer or humid conditions, the toner alone may be sufficient — the emulsion is the step most appropriate to skip in those conditions, not the toner.

Known in Japan as 菊正宗 日本酒の乳液 380ml.

Key Ingredients
  • Ceramide EOP, NP & AP — three complementary ceramide types that restore lipid structure in the skin barrier and prevent transepidermal water loss
  • Rice Ferment (Sake / コメ発酵液) — Junmai Ginjo sake concentrate rich in naturally occurring amino acids, vitamins, and minerals
  • Glutamic Acid, Arginine, Leucine & Glycine — four amino acids that bind water at the skin surface for prolonged softness and smoothness
  • Arbutin — brightening agent that helps diminish the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone with regular use
  • Placenta Extract — conditioning complex that soothes irritation and supports a healthy, even-looking complexion

HOW TO USE
  1. After applying toner, dispense 1–2 pumps into palms and warm between hands.
  2. Press gently into face and neck using patting motions until absorbed.
  3. Apply generously to body after showering, focusing on dry areas like arms, legs, and neck.
  4. Pro tip: Layer after the Kikumasamune High Moist Lotion for a complete sake-based hydration routine.

FAQ

What is the difference between this and the Kikumasamune Sake Lotion?

The lotion is a watery toner applied first to flood skin with moisture. The emulsion comes second — it has a milky texture that adds an extra layer of ceramides and amino acids to seal in what the lotion delivered. Together they form a complete hydration routine.

Is this heavy enough for very dry skin?

It is a lightweight-to-medium emulsion — excellent for normal to dry skin. Those with very dry or compromised skin may want to layer a cream on top, such as the Kikumasamune Sake Skin Care Cream, for maximum overnight repair.

Can I use it on my body?

Yes. Kikumasamune specifically recommends full-body use after showering. The 380ml pump format makes this practical for daily whole-body application.

Is this the Japan-domestic version?

Yes. Sourced directly from Matsumotokiyoshi in Tokyo — the Japan-domestic formula sold in Japanese drugstores. TokyoShelf does not carry export or reformulated versions.
