About "Ozeki Brewing Branpal. Body Soap"

This body soap has mild cleansing power that washes away necessary dirt while leaving behind the sebum that is essential for the skin.
While you are enveloped in a gentle forest-like scent (*1), the benefits of rice and fermentation will moisturize your skin, leading to clear, translucent skin (*2) all over your body.
