Black Paint is founded by Miyuki Maeda in Japan. The brand began as a product of a mother’s love for her child who was diagnosed with kidney issues. Maeda led her research team to search for inner and outer health for her daughter. The research focuses on good bacteria, honing in on staphylococcus epidermis, whose job is to form the sebum layer that keeps skin hydrated, pH balanced and protected from environmental pollutants. The central concept of the BLACK PAINT system is to nourish and protect the bacteria that maintain beautiful skin naturally.

The brand’s name BLACK PAINT originates from their “pore-washing soap,” which is black in colour. The brand is committed to quality products. Their BLACK PAINT soap is cold pressed, which allows glycerin to remain in the soap instead of being boiled away. Their products do not use emulsifiers to keep the oil and water elements of a formula mixed together. Their factory is located in the Kyoto Prefecture, where they import quality materials from all over the world and select from among more than 100 kinds of plant oils and essential oils to develop formula to cater for particular skin types.

BLACK PAINT microbiome skincare enhances the body’s own renewal and self-protection processes instead of fighting them.
