Hada Labo (肌ラボ, Hada Rabo, "Skin Lab") is a Japanese skin care brand developed by Rohto Pharmaceutical. The brand is most known for their hyaluronic acid products, and for offering eco-friendly refill pouches.[1][2] Their flagship offering, the Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion, was the number one lotion in Japan for seven consecutive years.[3]
Distinct from Hado Labo proper, Hada Labo Tokyo is manufactured by Mentholatum (a subsidiary of Rohto) for the American market, differing in branding, products and formulation.[4][5][6]
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]
