Sake Kasu Milk Bath + Face Mask

Like many great discoveries, the life-changing benefits of sake kasu were revealed by accident. Old and wizened sake masters have long been known to have baby-soft, wrinkle-free hands. As it turns out, working with koji (an enzyme- and amino acid-rich mold used in making sake) helped to inhibit the production of melanin, the main cause of sunspots and freckles.

One of the byproducts of sake production is sake kasu, residual yeast (also called lees) that contains all of the nutrients and leftover koji from the sake-making process. This Sake Kasu Milk Bath + Face Mask contains two bags of sake kasu that can be sprinkled into a bath or made into a paste for a rejuvenating face mask. This product does not contain alcohol.
