Reference

It thoroughly cleanses your skin and hair keeping it healthy.
No use of artificial chemicals*
Each Murasaki Koubou Soap is made by hand, following a simple recipe with carefully selected natural ingredients from Iwate.

Murasaki Koubou Soap takes considerable time and effort to make, and was inspired by a woman’s personal suffering and passion for better health.
The journey to produce this soap required five years of preparation to make a soil with sufficient nutrients to grow the Murasaki plant, which is difficult to cultivate through mass production.
Extracting Shikon from Murasaki is a technically complex process that results in combining the extract in soap to maximize its effect. Murasaki Koubou’s original research successfully developed a manufacturing method to efficiently extract Shikon’s essence.

Is there an expiration date for Murasaki Koubou Soap?
