Shiro Nuka is powdered germ plus the inner bran layer (called the aleurone layer) of the Japanese rice, which women in Japan have used for centuries to beautify and maintain their much-admired complexion.

Shiro Nuka hydrates the skin, evens tone and helps diminish wrinkles and fine lines. It is all-natural and contains no additives, preservatives, colorings or fragrances, and suitable for all skin types, including dry, sensitive skin.

The Japanese traditional way is to apply with the included soft applicator bag made from soft, fine-mesh Japanese sarashi cotton. You can also mix it with water to make a brightening face wash, or apply it as a hydrating facial mask, or use it as a facial cleanser mixed with a mild soap or your cleanser.
