Gettou Collection

Gettou Balance Lotion

The Gettou Balance Lotion from Ruhaku is a lightweight toning lotion worn throughout the day to rejuvenate and soften skin while stabilizing problem areas. The combination of polyphenol-rich gettou (shell ginger) essence and moisturizing umibudo (sea grapes) naturally protects and heals dry or sensitive skin. Explore the full Ruhaku collection here.

What’s inside? Key ingredients include:

• Organic gettou (Alpinia zerumbet) extract: A relative of ginger revered for its attractive flowers and exceptional antioxidant properties, gettou has been used in Okinawa for centuries in both cuisine and traditional medicine. The gettou extracts in this lotion are from organically cultivated plants grown on Hamahiga Island.

• Umibudo (Caulerpa lentillifera): A type of seaweed high in minerals, polyphenols, and amino acids; commonly referred to as "sea grapes"

• Okinawan seawater (nigari): Said to be easily absorbed by the body due to a similar fluid and mineral balance

• Herbal extracts: Organic extracts of aloe, rosehip, yarrow, sage and thyme

To Use: Thoroughly cleanse your face prior to application. Take a quarter-sized amount of lotion in your hands - or use a cotton pad if you prefer - then gently smooth it over your face until the lotion has been absorbed into the skin.

Sola Cube - Shell Ginger (Gettou)

Designed to cultivate our inherent sense of wonder and exploration, Sola Cubes feature rare natural specimens captured forever in clear acrylic. Hyper-polished and distortion-free, these expertly preserved curiosities make a fantastic gift for the naturalist in your life and will captivate guests at your home and office. 

This cube contains the fruit of the shell ginger plant, or gettou. An antioxidant-rich plant native to Okinawa, shell ginger serves as the active ingredient in our line of anti-aging products from RUHAKU.

See our full collection of Sola Cubes and wooden display stands here.

About Acrylate Resin Casting
As with amber, insects and other curiosities can be preserved in acrylic resin for generations. The process typically involves pouring acrylic into a mold with the dried plant on a slightly solidified gel. The specimen is then pressurized in the mold to remove bubbles before being slowly heated to stabilize the acrylic bonds. Finally, the specimen is shaped and buffed to remove any surface markings, creating a vibrant representative of a favorite plant that never wilts or fades.

Materials: Acrylic resin, shell ginger
Dimensions: 1.57" L x 1.57" W x 1.57" H
Care: Polish occasionally with a soft cloth
