RUHAKU, an organic cosmetic brand that uses this natural herb as a skin-conditioning and aromatic ingredient, will launch its first series of four Getto skincare products on April 20 (Friday).

Getto: A Herb Gaining Attention for Supporting Beauty and Health
All four products in RUHAKU's Getto skincare series have received certification from ECOCERT, a leading international organic certification organization in France. The brand insists on using high-quality Getto leaves, meticulously harvested one by one from a Getto farm on Hamahiga Island, which is also certified by Okinawa's Organic JAS. The entire process, from extraction to formulation, bottling, and packaging, is organically certified.
Furthermore, the base water for the cosmetics is clear deep ocean water from Kume Island. Packed with the vibrant blessings of Okinawa, RUHAKU's products free your skin from daily fatigue and stress. The gentle, natural scent of Getto will relax your mind and lead to healthier skin.
