I I suffered from atopic dermatitis caused by cosmetics , and I was suffering mentally and physically every day.
After that, I worked in product development at a major cosmetics company, and learned why my skin had become rough.
I'm confused by the surprising irritating and ineffective ingredients in organic and additive-free cosmetics out there...
Skincare is also high quality and environmentally friendly. Utilizing the ancient wisdom of coexisting with nature, we will create FRMA that also incorporates modern wisdom! From Ancient Times to now, the first product is cosmetics.

Fermented foods for healthy skin and mind
______________________________________ ______________________________________ ＿＿＿＿＿ ＿＿＿＿＿
When you're concerned about rough skin, it's said that it's important not only to take care of your skin but also to maintain a healthy intestinal environment. The intestines are also known as the "second brain," and a healthy intestinal environment has a positive effect on skin condition and mental balance. Fermented foods, in particular, have the power to increase the number of good bacteria in the intestines and support the health of the entire body.
We will introduce the culture of fermented beans outside of Japan.
Fermented beans are what we call in Japan Natto. Did you know about it? If I hadn't participated in FRMA, I might never have researched fermentation cultures around the world. I looked into it and was impressed! It's exciting to learn about the various fermented foods and the culture that goes along with fermentation.
1. Wild Bean Natto from Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan |
The wild soybean is said to be the ancestor of the native Japanese soybean, and is characterized by its small size but extremely high nutritional value. Apparently, there is natto made with wild soybeans in Yamanashi Prefecture, but I haven't been able to find it yet. I guess I'll just have to try making it myself. It is said to have a stronger aroma and richer flavor than regular natto. |
2. Bicalaga, fermented hibiscus beans from Burkina Faso |
In Burkina Faso, West Africa, there is a fermented bean dish called "Bikalaga." These fermented beans are made with hibiscus, giving them a unique flavor and sour taste. Hibiscus has antioxidant properties, and fermentation also helps regulate the intestinal environment, which can be expected to have skin-beautifying and detoxifying effects. This traditional food is packed with wisdom to support health even in the harsh African environment. I want to try it! |
3. Korean Cheonggukjang |
In Korea, there is a fermented food similar to natto called "cheonggukjang." It has a stronger fermented smell than regular natto and is often used in Korean miso soup (jjigae). Cheonggukjang is rich in nattokinase and isoflavones, which help promote blood flow and regulate hormone balance. It may also help with skin turnover and prevent dullness and dryness! |
4. Dawadawa, Nigeria |
In Nigeria, a fermented bean product called "dawadawa" is traditionally made. It is made by fermenting locust beans (a native African bean) and is used as a seasoning for soups and stews. Dawadawa is rich in probiotics, which are thought to help balance intestinal bacteria, reduce inflammation, and improve rough skin and allergies. |
