Best Pick: Club Araiko Washing Powder

Best Pick CLUB Araiko Washing Powder

The English name printed makes me chuckle. Araiko translates toย โ€œwashing powderโ€ โ€” add โ€œtoiletโ€ in front of it and together with the rather bemusingย โ€œHighly perfumed with violet, white rose. Jockey club essences and muskโ€ blurb printed, youโ€™re instantly conjuring up thoughts of an antiquated odour-removing toilet cleaner. But, the name isnโ€™t your usual case ofย linguistic misfires.ย Clubโ€™s Araiko was released in 1906 โ€” a period where toilet (or toilette) is a (now dated) term for theย process of washing yourself and fixing your appearance.ย Itย alsoย makes me think of toilet water โ€”ย which is what a lot of dogs like to drink and also what diluted perfume is called.

Clubย Araiko Toilet Washing Powder is a real nostalgic kickback โ€” it has barely changed since 1906! Insideย the quaint paper envelope contains 30 single-use sachets. The powder cleanserย looks exactly like flour when you tip it out. It immediately goes lumpy and gummyย when you add a little water, just like actual flour. The key to getting a really rich, dense creamy lather with theย minimum amount of fuss is to use a foaming net.ย Of course, you can just use your hands sans tool. Just add a little water in your palm and rub your wet hands together briskly โ€” but itโ€™s a lot more difficult than it seems.ย I have neither the skill nor patience, soย I use foaming net โ€” quick and easy.

Theย cleanserย itself is rich and a pleasure to use.ย It doesnโ€™t leave my currently slightly winter dry skin dry or uncomfortably tight,ย andย it does a decent job of removing grime (though you should use a dedicated remover like an oil or a balm beforehand if you wear makeup). Skin feels completely clean, refreshed, and soft without any residue.ย And despite theย packaging suggesting itย might be a bit on the โ€œhighly fragrancedโ€ย side, its rose scent is actually subtle and beautifully delicate.

The sachets areย 3g each โ€” that doesnโ€™t seemย like a lot until you pour the whole content into your hand. Itโ€™sย meant for single-use but thereโ€™s actually enough powder in there for 2 washes!ย Theย little sachets arenโ€™t as ideal a situation as opening a lid but itโ€™s super convenientย if youโ€™re often travelling or staying away overnight. One is enough for my face and body.

You can findย Club Araiko (or Toilet Washing Powder)ย online atย Amazon Japan HEREย โ€” itโ€™sย ยฅ1,345 for 30 sachets, cheaper than RRP. Itโ€™s also atย Amazon USA.ย Full ingredients and other technical product details have already been posted separately, asย usual.
