In 2001, the Flax Corporation revived flax cultivation in Hokkaido for the first time in 40 years, focusing on the functionality of flaxseed oil. Using flax carefully grown without the use of pesticides as raw material, we are committed to "manufacturing" flaxseed oil and other products that are diverse and appealing. In Tobetsu-cho, Hokkaido, with the cooperation of local residents, events utilizing flax are being held. The town is also the only one in Japan to hold a "Flax Festival" featuring flax fields that come into full bloom with the arrival of early summer. Flax Public Company Limited provides customers with a full range of services from contract cultivation, product development, manufacturing, sales, and shipping from Tobetsu Town, with careful handiwork.



The story of development inspired by by-products derived from flax seeds

We focused on the flax seed by-product (lees) generated when flax seeds (amani), the raw material for flaxseed oil, are cold-pressed in a cold press process. In response to the growing demand for skin care products that are gentle to the skin, we further processed the flax seed by-product into a fine powder and blended it into a natural seed scrub. The result is a soap that gently removes dirt and grime with a scrubbing effect and fine lather, leaving the skin refreshed and clean.



Free formulation that focuses on gentleness

Contains high-quality oils that are gentle to the skin. It is also suitable for sensitive skin. No synthetic fragrance, no synthetic coloring agents, no mineral oil, and no alcohol are used.



Relaxing forest-inspired fragrance

The floral forest fragrance leaves a fresh aftertaste and creates a sense of openness.



Cold process manufacturing method

By taking the time to naturally dry and age the soap without adding heat, the superior ingredients are locked in, resulting in a highly fragrant soap rich in natural glycerin.
