Established as a trading company specializing in bathhouse chemical products that help to provide clean and sanitary baths, KENBIYAKUTO is a professional in fully integrated manufacturing of bath products from product planning to research and development, quality control and support. In Japan, public bathhouses used to be a part of people’s daily lives. But as home baths became widespread, bathhouses came to serve as an escape from the ordinary within everyday life, and offer special medicinal baths for the health of the visitors. For over 40 years, the company has provided bathhouses with the medicinal bath compound “Onyokuso Jikko,” manufactured by blending herbs and hot spring components. However, as bathhouses have declined over the years reducing chances for experiencing medicinal baths, the brand JIKKO was established to bring the medicinal baths to homes, under the concept “take yourself 1 degree higher tomorrow.” The bath powder blends Senkyu (cnidium officinale Makino) powder, an herb used to treat feminine ailments since ancient times, with four types of minerals found in hot springs and natural medicinal essential oils. The unique formula is rich in natural ingredients, and eliminates synthetic perfume, preservatives, coloring and alcohol. By warming up the body and promoting blood flow, 17 types of benefits can be expected, such as improving poor circulation, fatigue, shoulder stiffness, lower back pain, acne and eczema. The company aims to bring to homes the power of therapeutic bathing, which has healed people since olden times, in order to promote health and advance the Japanese bath culture.
