The difference between Japanese and foreign products
Are all foreign-made products dangerous?
Cosmetics that do not comply with Japanese legal regulations may be prohibited from sale or distribution.
But now that online shopping has become widespread,
There are many incompatible cosmetics on the market.
This puts consumers at risk of receiving unsafe products .
It's not that all foreign-made products are dangerous!
It is important to understand how they differ from Japanese products and what the dangers are.
[Ingredients and Safety🧴]
In some countries overseas, regulations on ingredients may be less stringent than in Japan or the European Union (EU).
This means that chemicals that are considered bad in Japan are sometimes used!
It is extremely dangerous to purchase and use it without knowing...
【Quality Control and Inspection🧪】
The quality control standards for cosmetics imported from overseas are different from those in Japan .
Some manufacturers have poor quality control,
Microbial contamination and product stability issues may occur.
This can lead to skin problems and health issues!
Furthermore, if the product does not pass inspection in Japan and ends up in your hands, there is no way to prevent it from happening.
✅Why are Japanese products safe?
Japan has the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law .
The Pharmaceutical Affairs Law is a law regarding the manufacture and sale of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, etc.
These regulations are established to protect the health and safety of consumers and ensure the quality and effectiveness of products.
[Safety and Ingredients🧴]
Japanese cosmetics are said to be "one of the safest in the world" ! ⭕️
Cosmetics are not allowed to be sold until their ingredients and usage methods have been confirmed to be safe.
Raw materials, ingredients, and newly developed products
Use is permitted after review by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare .
Strict regulations govern the ingredients and concentrations that can be used, which is why they can be used safely.
The Pharmaceutical Affairs Law also regulates the language in which products are advertised!
Cosmetics labels and advertisements are properly checked for falsehoods and exaggerations.
【Quality Control and Inspection🧪】
The manufacturing process for Japanese cosmetics is carried out in facilities with strict hygiene controls .
Regular inspections and evaluations are carried out to ensure product safety and quality.
Before a product is released to the market, it undergoes stability testing.
The product is proven to be stable over time without degradation.
In comparison, overseas products
I don't know what factory it was made in or how it was made.
In addition, since the products are shipped to Japan without proper inspection, there is a problem of foreign matter being mixed in...
Japanese cosmetic manufacturers perform quality assurance before products reach consumers,
In case there is a problem with the product, we respond to consumer complaints and feedback.
Even safe Japanese products can sometimes cause adverse reactions depending on the user's constitution, but unlike products made overseas, they provide thorough support even after purchase, so you can rest assured!
In this way, under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law , cosmetics made in Japan are guaranteed to be safe and reliable products for consumers.
Are cosmetics made overseas dangerous?
❌What are the adverse effects on health?
Some ingredients in cosmetics
Long-term use may have adverse effects on health .
For example, they may contain ingredients that are known to affect hormone balance or increase the risk of cancer.
It is possible that some products contain ingredients that are not approved in Japan or do not meet regulatory standards.
There is a high risk of skin problems and allergic reactions .
When using cosmetics made overseas,
・Formaldehyde
·methanol
・Red No. 40
・Hydroquinone monobenzyl ether
·hydrogen peroxide
Please make sure that the product does not contain any dangerous ingredients that are not permitted in Japan, such as:
❌Are the effects over-exaggerated?
Inaccurate information is easily spread on the Internet,
The ingredients and effects of the product may be overstated.
For example, don't you often see advertisements that contain extreme claims of immediate results or long-term use?
Recently, if Japanese people imitate advertisements for foreign cosmetics on social media,
The expressions used are so exaggerated that there are videos showing completely different results.
The effects and ingredients of products made overseas may not always be accurate as stated on the packaging or in advertisements.
Even if the advertisement or packaging says "clinically tested,"
It is important to check the contents and reliability before purchasing!
❌It may be a counterfeit!
Among the overseas cosmetics that have not been confirmed in Japan, cosmetics that are extremely cheaper than the original price on the market may be fake .
It is said that there are almost always fake items in circulation,
Be wary of significantly lower prices, especially for big brands and popular products.
Some people have reported buying fake cosmetics through online shopping or flea market apps...
Fake cosmetics often have ingredients that are different from the real thing ,
Be careful as it may cause skin problems .
Even if the product is defective or not working properly, it can be difficult to return or exchange products from overseas.
When purchasing cosmetics made overseas
We recommend accessing it from the official website .
💅Characteristics of Japanese and imported gel nails
Price and color variations

Gel nail products made overseas are generally affordable and easy to obtain.
Because it can be mass-produced, it is available on the market at a relatively affordable price.
There are variations in unique colors and designs that suit the region and culture.
It is characterized by its wide selection of products that reflect the latest fashion trends not available in Japan.
【made in Japan】
Gel nail technology has evolved in Japan, and there is a wide range of intricate designs and colors available.
However, since many people get gel nails done at nail salons,
The types and colors of self-gel nails available at drugstores and variety stores are limited .
Ingredients and Safety
【Made overseas🌎】
Some overseas gel nail products have
They may not meet safety standards approved in Japan or other highly regulated countries.
This can cause skin allergies and irritation...

Highly safe and manufactured to strict standards ⭕️

This reduces the risk of skin problems and allergic reactions!
