Neurocosmetics
The new era of beauty and emotional well-being
what is
Technology that merges neuroscience with dermocosmetics, connecting the nerve endings of the skin with emotions, while stimulating the immune system, generating a feeling of well-being and positive feelings.
In ŌKAMI, this action is embodied in Sugicare™ , a new-generation active ingredient derived from the botanical extract of Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica), known as Sugi, a tree native to Japan. It was introduced to the Azores islands around the 19th century, a place considered a biodiversity sanctuary, where the climate and volcanic terrain favored its growth.
In our laboratory in Barcelona, where the complete ŌKAMI line is developed, this active ingredient, rich in energizing phytochemicals, is incorporated. These act directly on the skin receptors responsible for well-being, through feelings of joy, calm, and vitality.
ŌKAMI™ invites you to discover the power of Neurocosmetics and Sugicare™ with formulas that not only improve the appearance of the skin, but also enhance emotional well-being ('skin-brain axis').
