Combination Skin

Answer. The Combination Skin collection is curated for skin that has both oily areas (often the T-zone) and dry patches. SOWAKA’s formulations aim to balance these differing needs using gentle, botanical-based ingredients.

Answer.

• Saké Lees (sake kasu): Found in some of their balancing serums; rich in vitamins and proteins to nourish without feeling greasy.
• Rice Ferment: Helps maintain moisture and supports skin texture.
• Oil + Water Derivatives: For example, their Aetas lotion uses both oil-based amino-acid derivatives and water-based ones to hydrate without sticking.

Answer.

• Cleanse gently to remove excess oil in the T-zone without stripping dry areas.
• Apply a balancing serum like the FRENAVA Balancing Serum after toner/lotion to lock in hydration.
• Use a lotion such as the Aetas The Lotion to moisturize both oily and dry areas with a light, non-sticky texture.
• Seal with a moisturizer or lightweight oil if needed — especially at night or on drier patches.

Answer. Not necessarily. The formulations in this collection are designed to be lightweight and non-comedogenic. For example, FRENAVA’s serum uses 50% saké lees and a mix of oils and waters to hydrate without heavy greasiness.The overall aim is “targeted solutions for oily T-zones and dry areas.

Answer. Yes. SOWAKA emphasizes natural and cruelty‑free Japanese beauty. Their combination-skin line stays true to this ethos by using botanical ferments (like saké lees), gentle humectants, and carefully chosen oils to support skin health without harsh chemicals.
