About Shiro Nuka
We make our Shiro Nuka exclusively from the germ and inner bran layer (aleurone) of Japanese rice (diagram in the picture gallery.) Rice germ and aleurone weight only about 6% of the weight of the entire grain but account for over 80% of its nutrients.
Shiro Nuka's Gamma-oryzanol antioxidant brightens skin by suppressing melanin production, combats dryness and soothes inflammatory skin conditions. Its "super vitamin E" Tocotrienols fight damage caused by free radicals. B-complex vitamins promote new skin growth and mitigate the effects of aging.

Best Skincare for Me
I have used many skincare lines, even organic, but this is the best skincare for my skin. I'm Native American and Japanese, mature skin, combination, with hyperpigmentation and enlarged pores. I also have a skin condition I'm working on with diet. This Nuka is gentle yet effective in cleansing and mildly exfoliating with just the use of my fingertips. I've not used the traditional sash method or the bowl method. Instead, I mix a paste and apply it directly to my skin. On some days I wash first with the sample rice bran soap I received from Wawaza, then apply a thin paste and gently cleanse with circular motions, from forehead to decollete, and on other days I'll just use a thicker paste, gently massage, then shower it off. My regimen now consists of Nuka, Rice Bran Oil (Bijin) mixed with the nacre here, then a few items for other issues (skin issue and SPF 15 organic cream) My skin is no longer sensitive (no synthetics!) and has calmed down. My skin issue is unnoticeable, and I no longer endure the symptoms, and my pores are CLEAN. The combination of the nacre and Bijin after Nuka is key for my skincare health. Thanks for a great product!

Incredible
I don't know why, but my skin LOVES this product. After every use I can see a huge difference: my skin is smoother, the tone is more even, and it's less shiny. I use it in the evening, and always get compliments on "glowing skin" the next day

ammmmazing!!
Really a wonderful treatment, in any form used, it’s so softening that makes a unique baby-skin effect! Delicate and soothing cleansing when used with the little sash as face/skin wash, and its fresh rice scent is just adorable, I enjoy it so much particularly when kept on as a mask for 20 mins.

My skin loves this!
This is a great cleanser. I have sensitive, oily and acne-prone skin, but I have not had a bad reaction to this product. I've used this as a mask, and it brightens my complexion very nicely. My skin feels clean and soft after I've massaged the rice bran on, and it's also really good to use to exfoliate. I highly recommend this. You won't regret it.

Lovely
I have used this about every other day for a week, just adding some water and making a paste then lightly rubbing in circles onto my skin for a few minutes. After letting it sit for a bit I wash it off. My skin feels and looks amazing after, especially the next day when I wake up. My pores look clearer and skin tone better. Absolutely recommend!

Very nice
Great stuff! I love the rice bran powder for scrubbing my skin and it gives my face good PH.

Super Smooth
I did the Shiro Nuka mask and then the traditional way of cleansing with the cotton bags provided. My skin texture has dramatically improved. I highly recommend this for any skin type.
