From the remote, mist-covered peaks of the Shirakami-Sanchi mountains to your daily skincare ritual, Albion’s philosophy is about connection. We connect land and essence, soil and skin, tradition and transformation.
In the world of skincare, where brands misleadingly promise instant results, we take our time, with intention and mastery. The final product is skincare rooted in nature, nurtured by science, and crafted with reverence. In this way, we help your skin reflect the health of the earth it came from.
Why Soil Matters: The Shirakami Laboratory Approach
Beauty begins in the soil of Albion. We own and operate our own growing fields and research laboratories at Shirakami, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site with clean air, nourishing water, and fertile soil. Botanicals are cultivated without pesticides, nurtured by hand, and harvested with precision.
From seed to bloom, every step is controlled to preserve potency, purity, and the natural beauty of the process. It’s with this transparency that you know exactly where your skin’s nourishment comes from.
The intimacy we create between harvest and formulation lets us capture our plants at their freshest, most active states, maximising antioxidants, vitamins, and bioactive compounds. You’ve heard of “farm-to-table”; we bring your “farm-to-face”.
From Botanical to Bottle: Craftsmanship & Science
Raw botanicals are just the beginning. At our factory in Kumagaya, our team of skincare scientists steps in as a helping hand in the process of refining clean beauty. They orchestrate the intricate process of extracting molecules, preserving them, and manipulating them into high-performance skincare.
This is Albion’s duality: respect for nature and the use of futuristic scientific precision. This is why our products, born from soil, can deliver visible results for your skin’s improvement. Every stage is aligned with purity, potency, and purpose.
Why Soil-to-Skin Matters For Your Skin
Choosing skincare with transparent sourcing is about ethics and results. Freshly grown botanicals offer richer antioxidant profiles and deeper nourishment compared to over-processed ingredients. Between pollution and life's stresses, your daily skincare ritual is your way to pamper and nourish, starting from clean skin and ending with clean skin.
Nourish Your Skin Naturally
Here are some of our favourite products that embody the “soil-to-skin” philosophy:

A Ritual For The Earth, and Yourself
With Albion, it's more than applying a cream or a serum; it's an organic connection between your skin and a heritage that honours the earth, craftsmanship, and timeless Japanese ingenuity. From soil to skin, each step is intentional, each ingredient is traceable, and each part of the process is an act of care for yourself and the planet.
