How to use Kinu

Whenever hands need it

Four steps

After washing, before bed, or whenever hands feel tight. A little goes a long way, and it's gone in moments.

Wash

Start with clean hands, patted dry. Washing strips away natural oils, so it's the best moment to put some back.

Squeeze

Squeeze a pea-sized amount into your palm. It's richer than it looks.

Work in

Rub between your palms, then work it over the backs of the hands, the knuckles and between the fingers.

Finish

End at the cuticles and knuckles, where hands get driest. A little extra at night means softer hands by morning.

Made for skin

Koyu is built on a single idea: that nature has already perfected an ingredient for human skin, and it was hiding in plain sight until now.

Wagyu Tallow Is the Foundation. Formulation Is the Difference.

Nature’s Finest Ingredient

For generations, Wagyu has been prized for its extraordinary lineage, distinctive marbling and the exceptional care behind its production.

KOYU takes that same reverence and applies it somewhere entirely new: skincare.

Founded from generations of farming knowledge, KOYU transforms Wagyu Tallow into fully formulated luxury skincare designed to deeply nourish, support the skin barrier and leave skin feeling softer, smoother and more resilient.

FAQs

No. It's rich, but it's made to absorb quickly, so hands feel soft rather than slick and you can get straight back to your phone or keyboard.

As often as your hands need it: after washing, before bed, and whenever they feel tight. There's no such thing as too often.

Kinu is formulated for hands, which have different needs to the face. For your face, Hikari and Yoru are built on the same Wagyu tallow.

No. Kinu is built on Wagyu tallow, which is animal-derived. If you avoid animal ingredients, no Koyu product will be right for you, and we'd rather say so here than let you find out later.

It's one of the easiest to get right, because everyone's hands could use it. It comes in its own foil-stamped box, and for something bigger, the Mittsu set pairs Kinu with Hikari and Yoru.
