New 'Konsen-kun Soap' by Pal System

Pal System Cooperative is set to announce the availability of its original product, the 'Konsen-kun Soap', which will start taking orders from August 25. This new product comes with a refreshed packaging following a change in the factory where it is produced, while maintaining the quality and ingredients that have made it a long-time favorite among customers.

Gentle Cleansing with Rich Lather

The 'Konsen-kun Soap' is a reimagined version of the beloved original that has been enjoyed for years. Developed in 2004, this soap incorporates natural fatty acids and moisturizing skim milk sourced from a dairy factory in Hokkaido. The result is a luxurious, rich lather that gently encapsulates the skin, providing a refreshing wash and making it perfect for facial cleansing.

This soap is completely free of fragrances, dyes, and preservatives, which means it's safe for users of all ages, from children to adults. Each soap is individually wrapped in eco-friendly paper and features an illustration of the original character, Konsen-kun. Customers can choose between a single bar or a box containing three bars. It is worth noting that without preservatives, the soap may discolor over time, but this does not affect its quality.

Promoting Soap-Based Living for Nearly 50 Years

Since the 1970s, Pal System has been advocating for a lifestyle that makes use of soaps derived from natural oils. This initiative responds to consumer concerns over the environmental impacts and health risks associated with synthetic detergents that became common in the 1960s. Pal System's advocacy extends beyond soap, encouraging consumers to consider their product choices and their effects on the ecosystem, which include reducing plastic waste and conserving energy.

Supporting Environmental Conservation

As part of its commitment to environmental preservation, Pal System allocates 1% of the sales from its original products—including 'Konsen-kun Soap', 'Earth-Friendly Laundry Soap', and 'Certainly Soap! Laundry Powder'—to the Japan Nature Conservation Association. This initiative is impactful, and the collaboration will continue until the end of March 2026.
