Koh Gen Do makeup products

Koh Gen Do is a skincare makeup brand, founded by Japanese actress Ms Ai Saotome over 30 years ago in 1986. Concerned with long hours of wearing makeup on set, Ms Saotome designed Koh Gen Do to deliver impact on and off-set. 

Like Ms Saotome, many famous actresses are users of the products. This includes Jessica Alba, who herself co-founded the Honest Company, a consumer goods company with an emphasis on safe products. Many actresses use the products on and off-set, as the brand is featured in many international films. With effective products, the brand supports the actresses’ crafts on camera.

Koh Gen Do incorporates Japanese skincare traditions and technology into skincare and makeup. It uses moisturizing plant-based ingredients and no added colourings, fragrances or petroleum-based mineral ingredients.
