History

Hada Labo was launched in 2004, and sought to emphasize a more "simplistic" skin care approach by removing "unnecessary additives, colorant, fragrance and mineral oil".[3]

In 2005, the brand changed their packaging from glass to plastic bottles, and began offering their products in refill pouch variations.[2] In November 2019, Hada Labo revised all the packaging from their Gokujyun and Shirojyun lines to be made from plant-derived materials.[2]

Products

Hada Labo is composed of three main lines:[7]

  • Gokujyun (保湿), focused on "intense" hydration
  • Shirojyun (白潤), with added brightening properties
  • Gokujyun Alpha (保湿α), with added anti-aging benefits

Their lotion products are a popular variant, which is a type of toner-adjacent skin conditioner unique to Japanese beauty.[8][9]
