Hokuriku Kasei : herbal bath salts
With a gentle herbal fragrance, these Japanese bath salts are a welcome excuse for a long soak. Each pack contains three individual sachets, with a blend that includes perilla extract, collagen, silk and squalane.
The illustrated packet also makes them a lovely little gift for a bath lover with an eye for design. Its straw-hatted traveller is a medicine seller, carrying household remedies from door to door. These bath salts have been part of that home medicine trade for more than twenty-five years, so he’s rather well suited to the job.
