b-ex Inc. (Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Toshihiro Fukui) has fully renewed the hair care brand "CLAY ESTHE" with the cooperation of hair and makeup artist "Mirai Matsuda". They will be on sale at hair salon in Japan from June 9, 2021. Taking this full renewal opportunity, we will newly develop the brand as a "clean beauty brand" that leads to healthy and beautiful scalp and hair with natural clay.

 

Aim of development

In this full renewal, we have developed products that consider not only usability but also health, environment, society, and animals under the concept of "clean beauty" in order to contribute to the creation of a sustainable society. Regarding the ingredients, we actively adopt raw materials that utilize discarded products and by-products, sustainable production methods, and low-energy manufacturing processes. The container uses environment-friendly materials such as biomass PET and recycled PET with the aim of reducing plastics and CO2 emissions. Considering that simple and sustainable is a new luxury concept, we have eliminated extra decoration at the packaging and pursued a minimal and intuitive design.

And this time, we are focusing on "clean beauty" but also good usability, pursuing "clean wash and smooth finger passage" which has been a reputation since its birth in 1996, and we have achieved more satisfied usability and finish than conventional products.

Brand features

1. Prepare the scalp environment with natural clay

Natural clay contains rich natural minerals which has a negative charge and porous and layered structure that has the advantage of easily adsorbing positive charged stains. By blending this natural clay, it adsorbs and removes dirt from the scalp, cleans the pores, and prepares a healthy scalp and light, smooth hair. The renewed CLAY ESTHE uses a new clay called kaolinite from Brazil, which is hard to absorb water and hardly take away water from the skin and hair.

2. The best “clean wash and smooth finger passage” in the history of the brand

"CLAY ESTHE" has been renewed since its birth, and has pursued the well-established "clean and smooth finger passage". In this renewal, we have improved the formulation of the ingredients in addition to the feature ingredient natural clay focusing on cleaning, moisturizing, and repairing ingredients. This new formulation improves the feeling of use when washing hair, such as foaming shampoo and reducing squeaks during rinsing, and smoothing finish. We have achieved the best usability in the history of the brand, which leads to smooth and silky hair regardless of any hair type.

3.Simple and strong package design

The special package design is by Naomi Hirabayashi, who is active as an art director / graphic designer. With the hope that the shampoo time in the bathroom will be happy, it has a sophisticated design that fits into any interior and complements the space. The lean form and decoration that make use of environmentally friendly materials are combined with the color of the agent to create a simple yet strong design.

4.Two fragrances

Pink clay
