Japanese traditional Beni for cosmetics

“Beni” is the natural cosmetics which are made from only a little red color pigment extracted from Benibana (safflower) petals.
In Japan, since ancient times, Beni has been used for lip rouge and cheek rouge. The crystallization of the red color pigment refined to high-grade by craftsman has the iridescent green glow. This glow is the evidence of the high-quality Beni produced by careful handmade in a traditional skill.
