Easy, Comfortable, and Effective Hand Care

Two years after the launch of "uka Nail Oil," a revolutionary oil that moisturizes and scents fingertips, Kiho Watanabe, president of total beauty salon 'uka' and top nailist, has delivered another new care item for "busy and lazy women." Designed to be an essential "spice" for fingertips, much like spices are indispensable in cooking, this new hand care line, "uka Hand Treatment Spices," emphasizes both efficacy and comfort.

Hands and fingertips, constantly working through daily life—touching water, lifting heavy objects, typing on keyboards—are more tired than we realize. Daily care is therefore crucial, but it's easy to neglect when busy. While we often think "I have to do something" when we see dry hands, hand care is not as straightforward as skincare.

So, what should we do?──
The answer is simple: items that inspire motivation. Something easy to use, comfortable, and visibly effective.

This is where "uka Hand Treatment Spices" comes in. These items for beautiful and healthy hands are formulated with three spices that enhance cuisine, with careful attention to scent, texture, and usage. The spices, as key ingredients, are directly incorporated into the names of each product. The distinctive scents and textures were faithfully recreated by CHICO SHIGETA's newly established lab in France, a pioneer in organic beauty, embodying Kiho Watanabe's vision. The premium user experience is truly satisfying.

The Concept: "Spices" as Supporting Actors Enhancing Delicious Cuisine

The cleanser features "Salt." Salt, used in Japan since ancient times to purify the mind and body, is a fitting ingredient for cleansing hands. "uka soap salt," formulated with Guerande sea salt, offers a gentle exfoliating effect and a unique texture akin to a salt rub, leaving hands refreshingly clean. The post-wash sensation is also unique: initially sticky, it becomes smooth with time. The scent, starting with a ginger top note, is not only pleasant but also expected to benefit female hormones and skin health, making it even more enjoyable to use.

The lotion incorporates "Pepper." "uka lotion pepper" is a highly effective hand lotion that, with its argan oil and hyaluronic acid, provides ample moisture even with a small amount. The "black pepper essential oil" promotes blood circulation, leading to healthier hands. The slightly pungent pepper scent adds an accent. Furthermore, its combination with eucalyptus and lavender offers expected antiseptic and relaxing effects. The application is also superb: its fresh, smooth texture spreads easily and is quickly absorbed, leaving a non-sticky, smooth finish. The absence of greasiness allows you to move on to your next task immediately.

And the rich, mellow cream has the texture of "Butter." "uka butter hand & cream" is a repair cream that conditions skin roughened by external factors like dryness, guiding it to a healthy state. It is luxuriously formulated with high-quality plant extracts, including Imperatoria from the Alps, argan oil rich in Vitamin E, and "shea butter," which is also beneficial for nails. The beneficial ingredients slowly penetrate, leaving the skin feeling moist and rich. Its sweet, gentle scent also has a warming effect on the body, making your hands feel pleasantly warm with each use. Using it before bed ensures restful sleep and moist skin the next morning.
