I used to love House of Rose. It's a Japanese skincare in addition to beauty construct that this twelvemonth volition celebrate its 40th birthday. House of Rose prides itself on providing cosmetics that are "friendly for the skin." Its products are based on establish extracts in addition to milk derived ingredients. House of Rose wants the customers to autumn inward love amongst its skincare in addition to teach loyal, long-term users.
Despite existence "natural," House of Rose skincare is ridiculously cosmetically elegant, to a greater extent than ofttimes than non expensive, in addition to dare I say, effective. The Refining White (with tranexamic acid) delineate of piece of work is pure gold.
The only matter that House of Rose does non accept is a venture SPF50+ sunscreen. Sad. That was i of the reasons why I didn't view their counter at the local mall to a greater extent than often.
Apart from Refining White, approximately other argue why I loved House of Rose was the fact that it had a licensing understanding amongst Disney. If yous purchase a grapheme manus cream at Tokyo Disneyland, yous are buying a House of Rose product.
Yes, I'm a huge Alice fan. I can't assist it. All these cute Disney goodies are made inward Nippon in addition to are available solely at Tokyo Disneyland. I'm going at that spot side past times side week, actually. Yay!
The exception seems to move Winnie the Pooh, every bit yous tin notice Pooh's ikon on honey-based products sold at regular House of Rose counters.
This is the store selling Disney-branded House of Rose products at Tokyo Disneyland:
The refer is La Petite Parfumerie in addition to it's located inward the Adventureland purpose of the park.
House of Rose was ever my go-to house when I needed suitably fancy, but withal (kind of) affordable gifts. And that is why final calendar week I was standing inward front end of the House of Rose counter at a local mall. I stood at that spot pondering which ones of the ready-made gift sets to grab. They included a manus cream, or a trunk butter, in addition to a bathroom bomb. All beautifully packaged in addition to create for gift-giving.
The bathroom bombs had subtle in addition to a lot to a greater extent than natural smelling scents than Lush side past times side door.
I made my selections of sakura manus creams in addition to bathroom bombs in addition to trunk butters, paid, in addition to the adult woman at the counter started to gift twine my purchases.
I mean, yous can't function incorrect amongst a House of Rose gift, tin you?
And thus I picked upward i of the bathroom bombs in addition to looked at the dorsum of the label carefully.
What did I see?
Made inward China.
Made inward freaking China.
Sorry, non sorry, but I exercise non purchase beauty products made inward China. The province can't teach something every bit essential every bit a infant formula right, in addition to I am supposed to trust it amongst cosmetics? No. Just no.
That is the argue why I exercise non purchase L'Oreal or Maybelline products sold inward Nippon - they are made inward China. Hardly anyone I know, except for foreigners perhaps, buys them, for exactly the same reason.
Now sadly, I volition accept to add together House of Rose to the listing of companies I am going to avoid. Why? If a drugstore construct makes its products inward China, well, they are drugstore cosmetics sold at drugstore prices.
If a subdivision store construct sells made inward Communist People's Republic of China beauty products, I accept a work amongst it.
I asked to cancel my purchase, removed all bathroom bombs from it, in addition to settled on made inward Nippon bathroom salts instead.
This genuinely saddens me, because House of Rose does accept groovy skincare. However, I only can't back upward a "natural" in addition to quite expensive construct that sells beauty products that are made inward China.
I genuinely wanted to purchase approximately of this sakura delineate of piece of work for myself, because it does odor divine, but inward the refer of principles, I didn't. I only bought the gifts. Then I tossed my loyalty carte inward the trash in addition to went over to the side past times side counter, to HABA, to purchase skincare for me.
Bye good daytime House of Rose.
It was overnice knowing you.
