SHIRO's Limited Skincare Collection: Birch Essence for Radiant Skin in 2026
In early June, amidst the rain-soaked forests of Hokkaido, the much-anticipated birch thinning took place. This year marked the fifth edition of SHIRO's "Seasonal Collection: Birch," which has been tailored to the year’s unique forest conditions. For 2026, SHIRO introduces the "Birch Face Mask 2026" and an improved "Birch Face Mist 2026"—both limited edition products that encapsulate the essence of birch.
The new face mask is a celebratory innovation, utilizing the natural viscosity extracted from freshly boiled young birch leaves. Reportedly, this delicate extraction requires a keen sense of timing; picking the leaves too early yields insufficient texture, whereas delaying too long invites pest issues. Fortunately, this year provided an ideal harvest—one that celebrates the fresh, dewy essence of birch along with the invigorating fragrance of young leaves.
Meanwhile, the revamped face mist boasts a 10% increase in the concentration of birch leaf distillate, enhancing its already soothing scent. A spritz transports users directly to the serene atmosphere of a birch grove, offering a moment of tranquility amid life’s chaos.
The birch series relies on sustainable practices, utilizing birch sourced from carefully managed thinning operations designed to maintain forest health. Thinning, crucial for allowing sunlight to nourish the forest floor, also impacts future timber production positively. This sustainable cycle ensures that each season contributes to the vibrancy of the forest, producing seasonal, unique products that cannot be replicated.
On the product lineup, the "Birch Face Mask 2026" is priced at ¥2,200 for three pieces. It incorporates birch sap, harvested before spring leaves unfurl, which serves as a natural hydrator, alongside the viscous essence extracted from young leaves. This mask is particularly rich in moisturizing properties, combating summer dryness and protecting the skin against UV rays and air conditioning.
To use, gently unfold the mask and place it on clean skin for 5-15 minutes, discarding it after use while patting the residual essence into your skin. Ensure the mask remains stored upright to prevent leakage.
The "Birch Face Mist 2026," available in a 120 mL bottle for ¥4,950, is the ultimate summer skincare item. Its refreshing formula quickly hydrates and revitalizes skin exposed to summer’s challenges, such as pollution, sun, and humidity. To apply, spray from about 20cm away, blend gently with your hands, and enjoy the calming aromatic experience of the birch forest.
This collection encapsulates the essence of the ongoing construction and care of the forests surrounding the creative processes at SHIRO. The commitment, demonstrated by the brand, towards responsible forestry aligns with SHIRO's foundational belief in creating products that reflect their respect for nature. Each year, the signature seasonal collection not only provides beauty indulgences but fosters better forest health through mindful product sourcing and development.
Looking ahead, SHIRO will embrace a project called “People of the Forest,” aimed at promoting sustainable forestry and nurturing future generations. For this initiative, partnerships with locals and academic institutions will remain central to aligning SHIRO's practices with broader environmental stewardship. As part of their dedication, SHIRO continues to embrace the principle of "not taking more than nature can replace."
Mark your calendars: the FAST RESERVE for the SHIRO Membership Program begins on July 21, 2026, followed by the official online and in-store release on July 23, 2026. Don’t miss the chance to experience these seasonal essentials—whether you are a skincare aficionado or new to the SHIRO family, these limited offerings bring the forest’s bounty directly into your skincare routine.

In conclusion, the "Seasonal Collection: Birch" provides an exceptional example of how beauty can coexist with nature.
