Haruharu Q&A: What is Phyllostachys nigra leaf extract?
Q: I am a Black Bamboo Mist user. What is ‘Phyllostachys nigra leaf extract’ good for?
A: Phyllostachys nigra (black bamboo) leaf extract has a strong antioxidant, anti-wrinkle and brightening effect. By fermenting Phyllostachys nigra leaf extracts, along with bamboo shoots and bamboo shoot bark extracts, we maximized the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and whitening effect of the product.
Refresh and nourish your skin with a spritz or two of our Black Bamboo Mist when your skin feels flaky and dry. Our mist’s anti-inflammatory and soothing properties make it a must-have these days when the skin can easily get irritated wearing a face mask all day.

Haruharu Q&A: Controversial Issue - Ethanol in Skincare
Q: I found ethanol on the ingredient list of some of the products. What is its function?
A: Haruharu Wonder products are made with 95% naturally-derived ingredients. While combining these ingredients, oxidation occurs leading to deterioration in quality, performance, stability, etc. To prevent oxidation, chemical compound ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is commonly used by cosmetics brands as a sequestering agent.
However, as a natural skincare brand, Haruharu Wonder uses an all-natural sequestering agent composed of water, sodium phytate and ethanol. The ethanol used in the products is less likely to affect the skin as its quantity is strictly controlled.

Q: Are Haruharu products safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
A: Yes! All our products are made with EWG green score ingredients, minimum 95% of which are naturally-derived. None contain ingredients on the to-avoid list.
