DAMDAM is evolutionary Japanese skincare, designed where heritage and science meet.
DAMDAM is evolutionary Japanese skincare, designed where heritage and science meet.
DAMDAM is built on this principle. We’re inspired by ancient rituals practiced for generations — simple yet holistic, with which daily care adds up to a lifetime of impact. In today’s fast-paced world, we believe it’s more important than ever to make space for slow.
For as long as Japan has existed, its culture has hinged upon tradition and history. Everything from eating, speaking, moving, to how we take care of ourselves and others, is done with intention. Here, the very act of living is an art form.
"Made in Japan" embodies our commitment to the ecosystem of farmers, scientists, makers, and craftsmen who share our passion for precise, efficacious skincare.
Together, we perfect our products according to the exacting standards of Japanese safety, precision, and quality.
Founder
Giselle Go & Philippe Terrien
Emi started MOSAIK because she has always felt there has been something missing in the skincare market. She wanted to create a brand that had the values that she personally stands for - to remove the ideals of anti-ageing, whitening/bleaching, and so called 'perfect' skin. To create a skincare regime that was made to be inclusive and most importantly, effective, for all skintypes, skin colours, and skin ages.
When skin is exposed to UV radiation from the sun, photo-aging occurs from exposure up to 7 hours later, causing damage to the skin.
Tea leaves harvested specifically from Japan’s Uji region possess uniqueDual-Phase Oxidation Inhibitors, which counteract this damage. The hero at the heart of Matcha Boost Eye Serum, the dual-phased approach time-releases healthy antioxidants to block the pathway of both short- and long-term UV damage.
Among our core heritage ingredients, Shiso is a time-honored antioxidant with superior anti-inflammatory and barrier strengthening properties. Considered the richest plant source of Omega-3 fatty acids – boasting 3-4x more than chia or flaxseed – its usages in Eastern medicine and skincare date back to 500 AD.
Found in Mochi Mochi Luminous Cream, our hair and body collection (Classic Shampoo, Classic Conditioner, Body Wash), and in our Incense Sticks, Shiso’s essential fatty acids are known to provide barrier strength while antioxidants help protect damaged cells and stimulate collagen production.
Japanese skincare centers around rice, where no part of a grain goes wasted. Alongside rice bran oil, long renowned for its powerful hydration properties, rice-derived AHA (a water-soluble ingredient that works on the skin’s surface) Phytic Acid is one of our own better-kept secrets.This dermatologist-approved AHA renews skin so gently that it’s suitable for sensitive skin — working to improve smoothness and radiance without the harshness of other AHAs.
This gives Phytic Acid a unique advantage, capable of delivering in various applications: a hero exfoliator inNomad’s Cream Purifying Cleanser, deeply moisturizing inMochi Mochi Luminous Cream, and revitalizing insideParadisi Mist Hydrating Essence.
