Manara
Manara is a Japanese skincare brand founded by Yumiko Iwasaki, who set out to create products that genuinely solve customers’ skin concerns. After realizing her own makeup remover was damaging her skin, she developed a cleanser that would not only remove impurities but also nourish the complexion.
This customer-first philosophy remains at the heart of Manara and has earned the brand deep trust and loyalty across Japan.
Their bestselling Manara Hot Cleansing Gel is a cult favorite, formulated with over 90 percent beauty serum ingredients to melt away makeup, clear blackheads, and hydrate the skin at the same time. Free from colorants, mineral oils, parabens, and artificial fragrances, the gel is gentle, warming, and designed to leave the skin soft, clean, and glowing.
The product has earned multiple awards, including the Monde Selection Gold Award for 11 consecutive years.
