Celebrating Sustainability in Skincare: PS International's Achievements

On March 20, 2025, PS International participated in the Sustainable Cosmetic Awards ceremony held at Newoman Takanawa, where its skincare lines were recognized for their sustainable practices and product quality. This year, the company proudly received the Bronze Award for their "Saicha–SAICHA CH Facial Oil," along with the Jury's International Award for the "Annemarie Börlind Sunflora Booster Serum."



The awards serve to highlight products that not only align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) but also demonstrate excellence within the beauty sector. The esteemed jury, headed by the renowned Koko Kishi, acknowledged the company’s commitment to eco-friendly beauty solutions.

Product Highlights

Saicha–SAICHA CH Facial Oil

This exceptional facial oil is derived from the precious oil of tea seeds grown in abandoned tea fields in Shizuoka, Japan. The seeds are harvested after blossoms bloom, making them quite rare, with an extraction yield of two seeds producing just one drop of oil. This unique process ensures that every bottle captures the essence of the environment in which it is produced. With a price point of 5,940 yen (tax included), consumers can experience the vitality of freshly pressed tea seed oil directly from nature.

This product is designed to minimize the appearance of fine lines caused by dryness, adding hydration and radiance to the skin. Every bottle contains the nourishing power of approximately 400 tea seeds, ensuring that users receive a dose of nature that nourishes both skin and soul.

Annemarie Börlind Sunflora Booster Serum

The second award-winning product, the "Annemarie Börlind Sunflora Booster Serum," is a pioneering addition to skincare that embodies 60 years of expertise in organic beauty. Priced at 8,800 yen (tax included), this dual-phase serum focuses on skin rejuvenation through a unique formula made without any animal-derived ingredients.

With the concept of “revival” at its core, the serum incorporates Sunflora oil, recognized as a vegan retinol alternative known to improve elasticity and hydration. It's effective in enhancing not just the skin's vitality but also the absorption of subsequent skincare products.

A Commitment to Sustainability

Both brands, Saicha and Annemarie Börlind, emphasize ethical sourcing and sustainable production methods. PS International was founded in 1988 and has a rich history of integrating beauty and wellness with a strong commitment to ethical practices. The launch of the Saicha brand aims to connect Japan’s tea culture with future generations by responsibly using resources from abandoned tea fields.

Northwood, COO of PS International, expressed gratitude for the recognition, stating, "We are deeply honored to have our products acknowledged for their contributions to sustainability and quality. Our mission is to create products that respect people and nature alike."

Looking Towards the Future

Both brands aspire to continue pushing the boundaries of sustainable beauty by crafting products that enhance the lives of consumers while being considerate of the environment. As climate change begins to impact resource availability, ongoing research and dedication to ethical practices remain at the forefront of their endeavors.

In conclusion, PS International's recognition in the Sustainable Cosmetic Awards not only showcases their dedication to creating high-quality beauty products but also sets an example for the industry’s future, emphasizing that sustainability and effectiveness can indeed go hand in hand. Through their continued efforts, they hope to share the richness of nature while paving the way for a more sustainable future in beauty.
