The secret

The secret is cold.

Japan doesn’t ice its face with a bowl of water and a grimace. It has a word for the feeling, hinyari (hin-YAH-ree): the pleasant little shock of cold. And it has a whole drugstore aisle built around it.

Japan’s biggest beauty houses now make skincare you keep in the freezer. Shoppers there are hooked. Here, almost nobody has heard of it. Yet.

使い方 ・ How to

Fill. Freeze. Swipe.

01

Fill

Pour serum into the two-cup tray and set the handles in place. One fill makes two pucks.

02

Freeze

Overnight, in the freezer door. Each puck lasts about three mornings, so one fill covers most of a week.

03

Swipe

Pull a puck out by its handle and glide it over cheeks, jaw and forehead for thirty seconds. Back in the tray, back in the freezer.

詰め替え ・ Refills

Keep the tray. Refill the cold.

The tray and handles are for keeps. Serum comes in a plain little refill bottle, so there’s less plastic and no new tool every month. Do it with your morning coffee, before makeup.

成分 ・ Inside

Four quiet ingredients.

Water-light, fragrance-free and oil-free. It freezes into a soft puck that glides, not a hockey puck.

Cucumber

The original puffy-eye classic.

Centella

For skin that looks tired or a bit flushed.

Aloe

Cool, light hydration.

Glycerin

The reason it glides instead of sticks.

We’re finalizing the formula for the first batch. The waitlist hears first.

よくある質問 ・ Questions

Things people ask.

How long does one puck last?

About three mornings. Swipe, pop it back in the tray, freeze. Each fill makes two, so one fill covers most of a week.

Can I use it near my eyes?

Around them, yes. In them, no. Patch test first if your skin is sensitive.

It lives in my freezer. Will someone eat it?

It looks charming. It is not a snack. The tray says “Not food” right on it and sleeps in its own pouch, away from anything edible.

My freezer is downstairs and my bathroom is upstairs.

So was ours. Make it part of coffee: swipe in the kitchen while the kettle goes, then head up and do your makeup.

When does it ship?

We’re making a small first batch. The waitlist gets first dibs and launch pricing.
