𝙱𝚘𝚜𝚜 𝙻𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚕 𝚄𝚗𝚕 𝙱𝚘𝚜𝚜 𝙻𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚕 𝚄𝚗𝚕𝚘𝚌𝚔𝚎𝚍 ____________ Allow me to (re)introduce myself: I’m Teni Wada, the founder of @edobeautylab. The “community project” that I’ve hinted at recently is [EDO BEAUTY LAB], an incorporated entity registered as Kabushiki Kaisha Edo Beauty Lab (株式会社 EDO BEAUTY LAB) on May 19, 2021. It’s been nearly a year in the making, and I can’t believe I finally did it!🤗 So, exactly what is Edo Beauty Lab all about? K. K. Edo Beauty Lab is the company that produces [EDO BEAUTY LAB], an upcoming green beauty brand handmade in Edogawa City, Tokyo, Japan. The reason why I consider this a “community project “ is because every part of the manufacturing process takes place in Edogawa. Our artisanal goods are also handmade in Edogawa by talented local craftsmen with decades of experience. Plus, one of the ingredients used is komatsuna a leafy green superfood grown locally since the 12-13th century! In fact, Edogawa City produces nearly 40 percent of Tokyo’s annual komatsuna harvest🥬 Swipe to read what we’re all about and check out the snazzy PR clip I made showcasing our clarifiying clay mask formulated by me🥰 I’m thinking of hosting an Instagram Live later in the month. I’ll chat about my experience of starting a company in Japan, and talking about the Japanese cosmetics industry. Let me know if you’re interested, and I’ll set up a poll on my Stories to figure out a date. Until then, don’t forget to check out @edobeautylab and watch my Stories for behind the scenes info as I prepare for our official launch on July 1💚 __________ . . . . . . . . . . #thewagamamadiaries #edobeautylab #blackownedskincare #blackinjapan #blackownedbeauty #blackownedcosmetics #workinjapan #womenownedbusiness #sdgsjapan #greenskincare #superfoodskincare #sustainablebeauty #indiebeautybrand #japaneseskincare #farmtoface #consciousbeauty #plantbasedskincare #sustainableskincare #SNS起業 #起業家女子　#女性起業家　#起業ママ #植物の力　#グリーンビューティー　#江戸川区#地域活性化 #サステイナブル #小松菜#エドビューティーラボ　 #ipreview via @preview.app
𝙵𝚊𝚖’𝚜 𝙱𝚊𝚋𝚢 __________ A 𝙵𝚊𝚖’𝚜 𝙱𝚊𝚋𝚢 __________ A little Texture Tuesday fun with Fam’s Baby Angel Soap. It’s a mild body wash made with 19 animo acids, hot springs water & formulated with the same pH as skin. The seasonal changes & springtime pollen haven’t been too kind to my daughter’s eczema (and my skin as well) so I’ll see what this one is all about! @famsbaby_official @cchannel_girls @cchannel_lemonsquare 季節の変わり目のお肌に優しさを... 家族みんなで使えるボディソープ 「ファムズベビー エンジェルソープ 」@famsbaby_official 肌と同じ弱酸性(ph値5.5)でアトピーがある娘が使っても心配はありません。19種のアミノ酸と温泉水配合で保湿を保って、すべすべの肌へ導く。 低刺激なのに汚れもスッキリ落とします！ お風呂上がりに爽やかな香りで癒されて、良い眠りに入れます💤 @cchannel_girls @cchannel_lemonsquare ありがとうございます♪ 😘 __________⁣ . .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #ボディソープ #ボディーソープ #弱酸性 #乾燥肌 #敏感肌 #デリケートゾーン #保湿 #保湿ケア #cchan_girls #lemonsquare🍋 . . . . . ⁣ #thewagamamadiaries #おうち時間 #texturetuesday #bodywash #famsbaby #japaneseskincare #入浴 #親子で #うるおい肌　#保湿ケア　#ボディケア #ボディウォッシュ #スキンシップ #お風呂の時間 #お風呂 #bathtime ＃バリアケア #protectyourskin #お風呂上がり　#skincare #sensitiveskin via @preview.app
𝚂𝚞𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛 𝙲𝚛𝚊𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜 __________ “Kakigoori” (かき氷) is the Japanese word for shaved ice, and @patisserie_cafe_hibari  boasts that they have the “best shaved ice with preservative-free fruit sauce in the Kasai area of Edogawa City”. Now, the shaved ice was definitely good, but it looks like we’ll have to spend the rest of summer eating shaved ice, you know, in the name of science and all😋 ずーっと食べてみたかった「葛西で一番美味しいパティシエが作る無添加フルーツソースたっぷりかけたかき氷」をやっと食べてみました!🍧🥰✨ @patisserie_cafe_hibari  今度はまたベリーベリーミルクにしようかな😋 __________ 📍 | Patisserie Cafe Hibari/パティスリーカフェひばり 🗺 | 1-31-51 Naka-Kasai, Edogawa-ku, Tokyo __________ . . . . . . . . . . #thewagamamadiaries #tokyolife #tokyolifestyle #tokyoguide #tokyocafe #tokyowithkids #tokyogram #tokyomama #tokyofoodie #tokyoeats #tokyofood #thesweetlife #shavedice #japaneseshavedice #かき氷 #かき氷巡り #かき氷部 #パティスリーカフェひばり #葛西 #江戸川区#甘党　#スイーツ好き　#甘党女子 #女の子ママ　#ママライフ#カフェ巡り　#休日の過ごし方 #東京女子部　#カフェタイム #江戸川区ママ
𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚆𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚁𝚊𝚙𝚞𝚗𝚣𝚎𝚕 𝙼𝚎𝚝 𝙿𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝙴𝚛𝚒𝚌 ___________ 夢の国での不思議な出会い🤴🏻👸🏼Motherhood in Japan/teaching in Japan post! I’m pretty sure there are some who think I shouldn’t be encouraging my mixed race child to dress up as a blonde, green eyed Disney character… but then again, I’m not gonna go around telling her she can’t like Rapunzel because of her skin color! For what it’s worth, rounding out my girl’s top 3 Disney princesses are Mulan and Pocahontas. Which is funny because in my entire teaching career I never had a student who liked or was even aware of Pocahontas. And the one girl who loved Mulan was half Japanese and half Chinese… Which brings me to another student… in the first kindergarten class that I taught upon my return from maternity/childcare leave, I had a young (Japanese) boy who was absolutely ✨enchanted✨ by Cinderella. His lunchbox & lunch accessories and water bottle all had Cinderella on it! In the end, kids like what they like, and I think it’s nice to let them have their fun while growing up with a positive sense of self. So while my daughter loves Rapunzel’s glowing locks, she also loves her own curly brown hair… and never hesitates to flex her growth on Wash Day👧🏽💆🏽‍♀️ QOTD: Favorite Disney Princess (if any)??? ___________ . . . . . . . . . #thewagamamadiaries #partofyourworld #allthingsdisney #instadisney #disneygram #tokyodisneyresort #tokyodisneysea #mermaidlagoon #disneysea #disneyig #disneymagic #disneyfan #igdisney #rapunzel #disneyparks #disneyworld #disneylover #disneylife #instadisney #disneyphotography #ママ撮　#ディズニーリゾート #東京ディズニーシー #東京ディズニーリゾート #ディズニー写真部 #ディズニーシー #ディズニー風景#ファインダー越しのディズニーの世界#ラプンツェル via @preview.app
𝚃𝚛𝚊𝚟𝚎𝚕 𝚁𝙴𝙰𝙳𝚈 ✈️ __________ 「sitrana (シトラナ)」とは、マダガスカル語で『癒やし」を意味するのだそうでsitranaは、マダガスカル産のシカの美容成分を贅沢に配合し、敏感な肌を優しく整えます。爽やかなハーブ系香りがしますので旅行先やステイケーションに持って行くとリラックス効果が高まりそうです！@sitrana.jp @cchannel_girls @cchannel_lemonsquare Don’t know when I’ll hit the skies again, but at least I’m ready with this travel size skincare kit from Sitrana🧳 “sitrana” means “healing” in Malagasy and the line uses Cica grown in Madagascar to meet the needs of delicate and sensitive skin. All of the products have a relaxing and mellow herbal scent, and really put you in vacay mode! @sitrana.jp @cchannel_girls @cchannel_lemonsquare __________ . . . . . . . . . . #PR #sitrana #シトラナ #アクティシカ #NEOアンチポリューション #保湿ケア #ベスコス #ベストコスメ #lemonsquare🍋 #cchannel_girls . . . . . #thewagamamadiaries #japanesecosmetics #japaneseskincare #jbeauty #skinfluencer #travelminis #travelsize #skincareaddict #skincarecommunity #minimonday #skincareroutine #igskincare #cicaskincare #skinstagrammer #miniproducts #travelessentials #ミニコスメ #ポーチの中身　#旅行好き女子 #ipreview via @preview.app

𝙿𝚎𝚛𝚏𝚎𝚌𝚝 𝙱𝚕𝚞𝚎 ____ 𝙿𝚎𝚛𝚏𝚎𝚌𝚝 𝙱𝚕𝚞𝚎 __________ It has recently come to my attention that fields of baby blue eyes or nemophila, (Nemophila menziesii) exist outside of Ibaraki Prefecture!☺️ Head to @insaitama to find out where!💙 Pictured are the nemophila at Hitachi Seaside Park from my visit 2 years ago — trip report on the blog: https://thewagamamadiaries.com/see-and-taste-the-bloom-of-nemophila-at-hitachi-seaside-park/ (Repost ‘cause I hit delete instead of edit😭😭😭) __________ . . . . . . . . . . #thewagamamadiaries #japantravel #instagramjapan #hitachinaka #ibaraki #ibarakigram #nemophila #goldenweek #japanofinsta #perfectblue #japanbucketlist #lifeisbeautiful #travelgram#hitachiseasidepark #springinjapan #bucketlist #japantravel #traveljapan #japantrip #japangram #picoftheday #hitachinaka #explorejapan #babyblueeyes #japan_daytime_view #ネモフィラの丘 #ネモフィラ畑 #国営ひたち海浜公園 #ひたち海浜公園 #ネモフィラ #ひたちなか市 #茨城

I also like how the two layer serum changes color when you shake the bottle.
