Pearls, the only precious stones born from life itself, have long been believed to exhibit unique powers, and have been used as naturally derived medicine

We’ve conducted ceaseless research in the quest to focus in on the true beauty of pearls, based on founder Kokichi Mikimoto's dream of "adorning the necks of all women around the world with pearls."
And in 1966, we happened upon an ingredient that would help us beautify skin.

Composed of rare ingredients born out of our pearl research, our cosmetics have contributed to feminine beauty for more than half a century.

We at MIKIMOTO are continually devoted to pearls, and through our experiences of incorporating pearl constituents into skincare, we aim to realize beautiful skin, opulent emotions, and future happiness for all.

This is the secret behind the beautiful sparkle of pearls.
After years of pearl research, we finally arrived at the answer of “bisou.”

Pearls develop from layered compositions; the more orderly the nacreous layers develop, the more beautifully the pearl will shine.
Healthy, beautiful skin is also born in the same manner, by maintaining a state of orderly layered skin cells.

True beauty comes from our bare complexion.
The secret to beauty for both pearls and skin is “bisou.”

The sparkling secrets that support bisou, which we found after years of pearl research.
It was a fantastic discovery that can be applied to radiance for your skin as well.

• IMMUNE STRENGTH
• MOISTURE RETENTION

In 1966, MIKIMOTO COSMETICS became the first in the world to succeed in unlocking the true beauty of pearls.

The key lies in pearls’ water retention properties.
From the proteins found in a mere 5% of a single pearl bead, we extracted Pearl Conchiolin®^*1, which is highly valuable for skin.

Pearl Conchiolin®^*1 highly resembles the NMF (natural moisturizing factors) found in skin.

It includes dozens of amino acids, providing support for skin moisturization.

As for the Akoya pearl oysters, we succeeded in extracting Pearl Collagen®^*2 from the organs of the oyster that are considered the center of their immune strength.

Pearl Collagen®^*2 is a fascinating ingredient that creates a moisture veil with exceptional moisturizing capacity and sustaining power.

And from the nacreous layer, we extracted Pure Pearl Minerals®^*3.
This ingredient, which focuses on creating a protective barrier, regulates your skin’s regenerative cycle and supports healthy skin.
