POLA, one of Japan's four largest chemical companies, is internationally renowned for its anti-aging and whitening technologies, and has won the IFSCC Grand Prix Award from the International Federation of Cosmetic Technology, known as the "Nobel of the cosmetics industry", for four consecutive years.
Compared with the consistent positioning of high-end ladies in the skin care industry, POLA's daily chemical line is more accessible to the people. There are two categories of products under body care: shower gel and body lotion, and the price of 500ml shower gel is about 190 yuan. The packaging is also very elegant, and it has won the first place in the Japan Packaging Design Contest (JPDA), which is very suitable for personal use or gifts.
Japanese daily chemical products are very concerned about foaming and decontamination, soap-based formula has become the first choice of many brands because of its strong foaming ability, and POLA is no exception, although the soap-based surface activity can produce dense and plump foam, but it is easy to cause the skin to feel dry, in order to avoid this, POLA is added with moisturizing essence, the skin is moisturized after rinsing, and it can also be used in the dry season of autumn and winter.
Enchanting fragrances are also one of the hallmarks of POLA shower gels, which are currently available in two collections: PENSÉE DE BOUQUET and Sparkling Bouquet. THE PENSÉE DE BOUQUET SERIES FRAGRANCE IS INHERITED FROM THE EAU DE FLEUR SERIES, CONTAINING TWO TYPES OF ROSE-SCENTED SHOWER GEL AND LILY FLORAL SHOWER GEL, POLA ADDS PURE EXTRACTED ROSE AND LILY ESSENTIAL OILS TO THE SHOWER GEL, WHICH CAN NOT ONLY PLAY A FRAGRANCE, BUT ALSO PLAY A CERTAIN EMOLLIENT EFFECT, THE TWO ARE SOLD IN THREE FORMS: SINGLE BOTTLE, SINGLE BOTTLE AND REFILL, DOUBLE BOTTLE, AND CAN ALSO BE COMBINED WITH THE SAME FRAGRANCE BODY LOTION.
The new Sparkling Bouquet collection includes the Golden Osmanthus Shower Gel, which is not much different from the PENSÉE DE BOUQUET collection except for the fragrance.
The previous EAU DE FLEUR series, except for body lotion and soap sets, has been discontinued due to the discovery of metal powder and fine glass particles mixed with metal powder and fine glass particles in some bath products produced at the Thai factory after November 2014. Almost all of these tiny particles are below 0.001mm, causing minimal damage to the skin's surface, but it was not until 2018 that POLA issued an apology on its official website and recalled all products on the production line, causing many users to be dissatisfied.
