Makanai
Makanai - pure beauty
Makanai makes pure and 100% natural skincare products according to a powerful anti-ageing formula based on the KaESS Complex (fermented washi paste) combined with pure 24-carat gold leaf.
Makanai - the story
Makanai was created thanks to women working in the traditional Japanese gold leaf craft in Kanazawa. They discovered that even the older women had surprisingly soft and beautiful hands that looked years younger than their faces, as a result of dipping their hands in a natural fermented paste - which was used to make washi paper to put between sheets of gold leaf. Moreover, their hands were constantly touching gold!
These women started making their own skin care products with the materials they had available. As a result, their skin became more radiant and beautiful.
From generation to generation, this secret knowledge was passed from mother to daughter, and over a hundred years later, the Makanai brand was born in 2004.
Kanazawa
"The richness of life, inner harmony and beauty based on health and kindness are all rooted in Kanazawa's culture, tradition and climate.
The mindset to become beautiful is to devote oneself to nature and use the wisdom of traditional craft as a guide."
Kanazawa, Japan, known for its rich crafts, has been producing gold leaf since the 16th century. Today, Kanazawa produces 99% of Japan's high-quality gold leaf, which is so pure that it can even be used in food and cosmetics.
