About Us
For more than 50 years, DHC has celebrated the power of Japanese beauty rituals — infused with a touch of innovation.
By blending advanced science with timeless traditions like the Double Cleanse and combining carefully sourced botanicals with modern manufacturing techniques, we create products designed to enhance your natural beauty.
Beauty Philosophy
Embracing Wabi-Sabi:
We wholeheartedly embrace the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi that teaches there is beauty in imperfection. According to wabi-sabi, each of us is “perfectly imperfect.” We want to help you, and people everywhere, feel beautiful in your own skin.
Superior Ingredients
Our Star Ingredient:
The very first product in the DHC line was Olive Virgin Oil. One of the most nourishing oils in the world, olive oil is high in antioxidants, vitamin E and polyphenols, making it a natural beauty mainstay for decades. Our olive oil comes from organic olive groves in Baena, Spain, where the Flor de Aceite (flower of the oil) is carefully extracted from the crush before the first cold pressing, then ultra-purified in our state-of-the art factories in Japan. This is just one of many examples where we prioritize sourcing high-quality ingredients so each product nourishes and rejuvenates skin with nature’s best ingredients.
Innovation Meets Nature
The Perfect Balance:
It’s no secret we are obsessed with botanical ingredients. Many of our products are formulated with organic olive oil, which is the cornerstone of our entire company. We also know that science and innovation are critical components to the process. From lab to shelf, our team of scientists and skin care experts research, refine and test formulations with intense detail. Our world-class factories in Japan have been carefully selected based on quality, precision and consistency.
Time-Honored Traditions
Japanese Beauty Rituals:
For centuries, geisha mastered the art of beauty—not just in how they applied makeup, but in how they removed it. Their nightly rituals honored the skin, treating makeup removal as an essential step to lasting radiance. At DHC, we’ve modernized this time-honored practice with gentle, effective formulas that melt away even the most resilient makeup while nourishing your skin. Experience the ritual of the Double Cleanse and reveal your natural glow.
The Double Cleanse
Why Cleanse in 2 steps:
Throughout the day, your skin attracts 2 layers of impurities. The Double Cleanse regimen starts with an oil-based cleanser to remove the first layer, which effectively clears the way for the foaming cleanser to deeply cleanse pores. Skin is left refreshed, supple and ready for moisture.
The Double Moisture
Why Moisturize in 2 Steps:
Using a moisturizer alone is not as effective as we think. When skin is dry, or even just cleansed and patted dry, it’s not capable of fully absorbing or holding onto the hydration or benefits from moisturizer. By using a liquid lotion first, skin is softened, deeply hydrated and prepped for moisturizer. The moisturizer actually locks this hydration in, while boosting skin with nutrients.
