KANEBO, the brand that communicates 'hope' rather than just beauty under its 'I HOPE.' philosophy, will release 'KANEBO Skin Conductor' on Friday, April 10, 2026. This penetrating moisturizer addresses how sebum—the primary cause of stickiness—can turn into 'bad sebum' that degrades the skin's barrier function, leading to dryness and roughness. KANEBO’s New Challenge Against Complex Skin Concerns: Three approaches to lightly maintain the water-oil balance, as if conducting the skin's health. 1. Preventing dryness and roughness caused by the decline in barrier function triggered by 'bad sebum.' A penetrating moisturizer formulated with 'Conduct PHS*¹ (moisturizer).' While sebum is essential for maintaining moisture and protecting the skin, unsaturated fatty acids*² within the sebum can develop 'bad properties' as their concentration increases. KANEBO focuses on how this change in sebum quality—becoming 'bad sebum'—allows it to re-penetrate the skin, lowering barrier function and moisture levels, which leads to dryness and irritation. This moisturizer provides hydration, protects the skin's barrier function, and keeps the skin healthy by preventing dryness and roughness before they occur. 2. Supplementing the barrier function to protect skin from dryness and lock in moisture. Formulated with the composite moisturizing ingredient 'Barrier Moisture Complex*³.' This complex contains ceramide-functioning ingredients*⁴ that supplement the work of intercellular lipids (ceramides) in the stratum corneum. By providing moisture and supporting the barrier function that protects the skin from dryness, it helps the skin retain moisture and maintain a healthy state. *¹: Phytosphingosine, BG (moisturizer) *²: Oleic acid, 8Z-octadecenoic acid, etc. *³: Ceramide-functioning ingredient (Cetyl-PG Hydroxyethyl Palmitamide), Lupinus Albus Seed Extract (Hydrolyzed Lupine Protein), Ethyl Glucoside, Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Acetyl Glucosamine, Thujopsis Dolabrata Bran
