The History of Oil Blotting Paper Started from Hakuichi

Oil blotting paper is a cosmetic Japanese paper sheet used for removing oil from the face.

Geigi performers of Kyoto and Kanazawa found haku-uchi-gami––Japanese paper used when pounding on gold leaf to stretch it––very useful as a tool for makeup touch-ups as it absorbed excess oil well.

Inspired by this paper, we became the first company in Japan to productize oil blotting paper produced by gold leaf pounding paper method.

Do You Know This Great Skincare Tip!? Skincare with Oil Blotting Paper

Worried about pores and acne? Remove oil from your skin with oil blotting paper!

While some people claim that your skin becomes dry when you use oil blotting paper because too much oil is removed, in fact oil blotting paper never removes oil excessively.

◇ Our natural oil on the skin actually consists of two parts: liquid oil and waxy solid oil. The solid part coats the skin surface to protect our skin. Oil blotting paper removes only the liquid oil which easily oxidizes.

◇ Oil secreted on the skin surface oxidizes over time and transforms into irritants. According to experiment results, such irritants cause acne, skin aging, enlarged pores, and ultimately wrinkles and sagging skin.

◇ It is important to adequately remove oil from your skin to maintain beautiful skin.You may remove too much natural oil or damage your skin if you wash your face too many times during the day or use tissue paper and/or oil blotting paper with a low absorption rate. We recommend using soft oil blotting paper with a high absorption rate for oil control.

Using Oil Blotting Paper for Its True Benefits! 

Many of the common oil blotting paper products made of pulp tend to make the users rub the sheet against their face because those products do not absorb oil very well.

Rubbing like this removes even the fresh, naturally produced oil the skin needs, causing dry skin.

In response to this, more natural oil is secreted to prevent dry skin, leading to a vicious cycle of excessive secretion.

Our oil blotting paper is a skin-friendly product as it enables users to remove excess oil just by gently pressing it against their skin.
