The Tradition of Matcha
Matcha is a central piece of the mindful tea ritual that anchors well-being in Japan. Just as the act of whisking matcha into a fine foam restores the senses, the important step of cleansing the face becomes an act of renewal, washing away stress and restoring balance to skin and mind.
Inspired by the Time-Honored Awa Sengan Technique
In Japan, washing your face with care is the most important step in the skincare ritual, as it creates a clean, balanced base for every product applied afterward. The Awa Sengan technique involves adding a touch of water to your cleanser and transforming it into a soft cloud of foam. The airy lather feels soothing on the skin and its ultra-fine bubbles can penetrate pores more effectively, gently but deeply cleansing with less friction.

The Tatcha Experience
This refreshing gel lathers into a light whipped foam like freshly whisked matcha. Its deep-cleansing power comes from a system of four mild, amino acid–based surfactants that generate ultra fine bubbles to gently trap and lift dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin while preserving its natural barrier. While the harsh surfactants in many traditional cleansers tend to disrupt skin's protective layers,Tatcha Institute scientists carefully balanced this formula with soothing green tea seed oil and glycerin to replenish moisture and help reduce the potential for irritation.
