Makanai was born in 2004 to pay homage to the centuries-old tradition of handcrafting gold leaf at its predecessor company, Yoshitaka Gold-Ieaf Foundry. The Gold Foundry was established in 1899 in Kanazawa, central Japan. The women who worked at Yoshitaka were exposed to harsh working conditions, and due to the extreme heat and dryness, working conditions in the foundry were harsh on the skilled gold leaf artisans (all women). The ladies of Geelong OEM started to make their own skin care products from the materials on hand. As a result, their skin becomes more radiant and beautiful. This secret knowledge is passed from mother to daughter, from generation to generation. After a hundred years of trial and error, our skincare secret was born.
MAKANAI Beauty has been a beauty secret since 1899. Inspired by the natural resources of Kanazawa in northeast Japan, Makanai brings you the very best in Japanese cleansing and beauty treatments.
