The Yuzu seed oil used in the formula effectively utilizes discarded yuzu seeds. Furthermore, the product is a sustainable hair care item with environmentally conscious packaging, including an eco-friendly bottle made from over 90% recycled glass and FSC® certified paper.

At UTENA, they address various challenges in Kochi Prefecture’s Kitagawa Village, where yuzu is produced, such as the aging of yuzu-producing farmers and a shortage of labor during harvest. They provide various forms of support, including assisting with harvest and offering extracurricular lessons to village children.

It is recommended that you put a few drops in the palm of your hand, rub it in, and focus on applying the oil to the ends of hair. Comb hair with your fingers to finish. Even a few drops are enough to effectively manage hair and enjoy the fragrance of yuzu.
