SATUDORA's Own Brand: Amazing Value You Won't Find Anywhere Else

“Urukasu” Hatomugi (Job's Tears) Skincare Line
In Hokkaido dialect, “urukasu” means to soak or moisturize. This Hatomugi skincare line is naturally gentle and incredibly good value! We especially recommend the hand cream and the plant oil lip balm, both deeply moisturizing without any greasy feel. There's also a large-size body lotion and sunscreen, generous enough to slather on from head to toe without a second thought.
