In the ever-evolving natural environment of Hokkaido, the new limited edition Rawan Buki Face Wash from SHIRO captures the essence of this remarkable plant, which has been lovingly cultivated by Toriba Farm for over 30 years.
This year's Rawan Buki, while slightly taller, has experienced a thinner growth pattern due to recent climate changes, such as rising temperatures and insufficient rainfall. Despite these challenges, the passionate farmer, Mr. Toriba, remains committed to nurturing his crops with the belief that preservation and continuation are essential. This dedication results in the harvest of fresh, flavorful Rawan Buki, now encapsulated in the Rawan Buki Face Wash 2026, part of SHIRO's seasonal series.
The unique characteristics of this plant, particularly its moist and juicy stalks, contribute to the creation of an exceptional face wash. The harvesting process highlights the freshness, as the stalks release an abundant juice upon collection. This juice is then maximally extracted and utilized, ensuring that each product embodies the care and effort expended by the farmers.
At Toriba Farm, the cultivation of Rawan Buki has been adapted to the changing environmental conditions. Traditionally known for growing large and plump stalks in spacious arrangements, the current growth has transformed into a model where nutrients are shared among the plants to survive limited resources. Mr. Toriba's relentless pursuit of reconnecting the Rawan Buki to the future involves innovative approaches, including evaluating soil conditions, planting new seedlings, and allowing parts of the land to rest. This kind of perseverance is rooted in a profound love for the Rawan Buki he has nurtured over the years.
Interestingly, a notable feature of this season's Rawan Buki is that many of the plants developed red discolorations, rendering them unfit for the market. However, they are rich in nutrients and embody the love and care invested by Mr. Toriba. SHIRO is committed to ensuring that no part of this precious resource is wasted and aims to honor the farmer's dedication by incorporating every element into their products.
The freshly harvested Rawan Buki Face Wash provides a luxurious feel that hydrates the skin upon each use. As the scent and appearance may vary from year to year, each jar of the seasonal series offers a unique experience, encouraging customers to fully embrace the freshness reminiscent of nature itself. Users are invited to indulge in a refreshing skincare experience that is as delightful as it is effective.
The SHIRO Membership Program will kick off the pre-sale for this product on August 4, 2026, with a subsequent release on August 6. The face wash, priced at 3,960 yen for a 150ml bottle, blends the irresistible essence of Rawan Buki extract into a foam cleanser that effectively removes excess oil and impurities without stripping the skin of its necessary moisture. Whether you are experiencing sensitive skin or seasonal skin fluctuations due to UV exposure, this gentle product is designed to support the health of your skin while enveloping you in a delightful green fragrance that enhances your daily skincare ritual.
To use, simply dispense 2-3 pumps of the cleanser into your hands, gently rolling the foam across your skin, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. With approximately one month’s supply for regular use, the formula may occasionally separate due to natural ingredients, so be sure to shake well before use.
