Now Women of the Philippines Can Benefit from the Secrets of the Exquisite Geisha

San Francisco, CA (April 20, 2010) - TATCHA Aburatorigami, an elegant new line of gold-flecked, handmade blotting papers, capture the secrets that the geisha discovered over 300 years ago to keep their skin petal fresh skin.

Legend tells us that the geisha, renowned throughout Japan for their exquisite complexion, discovered that a special handmade paper used by gold artisans to protect the metal as they hammered it into decorative gold leaf in Imperial Japan was ideal for removing excess oil from delicate skin. TATCHA Aburatorigami is made from the finest grade of abaca leaf, prized for strength, absorbency and softness. The authentic gold leaf found in each piece of TATCHA beauty paper, will not transfer to the user’s skin. Each paper, nearly 95mm square, is the ideal size to freshen your whole face, using only one leaflet.

Handmade in Japan, TATCHA Aburatorigami offer women an affordable luxury; a package of 30 sheets costs only Php595. The all-natural papers are fragrance-free, powder and oil-free. They are biodegradable and there was no animal testing. The unique plant-like texture of TATCHA beauty papers is what gives these papers their superior strength and oil absorbency without disturbing makeup or stealing essential moisture from skin. As a result they are the perfect complement to any beauty lovers’ daily ritual. Women with oily and combination skin use TATCHA throughout the day to keep their skin petal fresh, while those with dry or more mature skin use these simple sheets as a powder alternative, allowing skin’s natural luminosity to shine through.

TATCHA Aburatorigami is available in the Philippines exclusively through the Beauty Bar with one 30 sheet pack for Php595.
