Foot Peeling Pack Sosu Mint (2 pair)

SOSU Foot Peeling Pack Mint — Lactic-Acid Peeling Socks, 1 Pair

Overview

A pair of single-use Japanese peeling socks: you seal them on for an hour to an hour and a half, rinse, and then the callus layer on your heels loosens and sheds by itself over the following week or two. The working ingredient is lactic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid that breaks the bonds holding hardened dead cells together, so nothing is scraped or filed away. This variant is scented with mint.

Expect a delay, not an instant result — nothing visible happens on the day you wear the socks. See also our Japanese foot care and Japanese body care.

Key Benefits

• ✓ Lactic-acid soak that loosens hardened dead skin on heels, balls and toes without a blade, a file or a salon appointment
• ✓ Wear-and-forget format: seal the socks on, keep them on for the stated time, rinse — the peeling then happens on its own over the following week or two
• ✓ Sodium hyaluronate, ceramide NP and squalane in the liquid keep the soak comfortable rather than drying
• ✓ One-time-use pair per treatment, so nothing has to be cleaned or stored between uses
• ✓ Sized generously enough for larger feet, with a cut line so the socks close snugly at the ankle
• ✓ Shipped from our base in Kobe, Japan with tracking, in the Japanese domestic packaging

Who Is This For?

• Anyone with thickened, rough heels after a summer of sandals or a winter of dry indoor heating
• People who want callus removal without a blade — no scraping, no filing, no salon appointment
• First-time users of Japanese foot peels who want a low-commitment single treatment rather than a course
• Larger feet that do not fit standard one-size foot-peel socks comfortably
• Not for you if you are diabetic, pregnant or breastfeeding, have reduced sensation or circulation in the feet, or have any cut, crack, fungal infection or dermatitis on the feet

How to Use

1. Wash and dry your feet. Soaking them in warm water for ten minutes first softens the callus and makes the treatment work more evenly.
2. Cut the sachet open along the marked line and take out the pair of socks.
3. Cut the socks open along the dotted line and put them on over the liquid-filled inner layer.
4. Secure the cuffs at the ankle with the supplied tape so the liquid stays in contact with the skin, and keep your feet still — the socks are slippery, so put a pair of ordinary socks over the top if you need to walk.
5. Wear for 60 to 90 minutes. Do not extend the time hoping for a stronger result.
6. Remove the socks, wash your feet thoroughly with soap and warm water, and dry them.
7. For the next one to two weeks, moisturise your feet daily and let the skin shed on its own. Do not pull, cut or file the loosening skin.

Frequency: One treatment, then at least four weeks before repeating on the same feet. Most people find two or three treatments a year is enough.

Full Ingredients

Manufacturer-declared ingredients: Water, Ethanol, Lactic Acid, Butylene Glycol, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Ceramide NP, Squalane, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Sterols, Arctium Lappa (Burdock) Root Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Hedera Helix (Ivy) Leaf/Stem Extract, Nasturtium Officinale (Watercress) Leaf/Stem Extract, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf Extract, Saponaria Officinalis (Soapwort) Leaf Extract, Fragrance.

Lactic acid is the working ingredient — an alpha-hydroxy acid that loosens the bonds between hardened dead cells so the callus layer separates over the following days. Everything else is there to keep the soak comfortable: hyaluronate and ceramide NP for water-binding, squalane and hydrogenated lecithin to carry the mix, and the plant extracts for scent and skin-feel.

Cautions

• Do not use on feet with cuts, cracks that bleed, athlete's foot, eczema, dermatitis or any open wound — wait until the skin is intact.
• Not for use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, diabetic, have impaired circulation or reduced sensation in the feet, or are under medical care for a foot condition.
• The formula contains soybean sterols — avoid if you have a soy allergy.
• Contains ethanol (alcohol), which can sting dry or reactive skin — patch test first if your barrier is compromised.
• Contains menthol or mint oil, which can sting reactive skin — patch test first if your skin is easily irritated.
• Exfoliating acids make skin more sensitive to sunlight: keep peeling feet out of direct sun and out of the pool, sauna and hot bath until shedding has finished.
• Do not pull, cut or file the loosening skin. Let it come away on its own and moisturise daily — forcing it risks tearing live skin underneath.
• Do not exceed the stated wear time, do not re-apply on the same feet within four weeks, and stop immediately if you feel burning rather than mild tingling.
• Not for children. Keep the sachet out of reach of children and pets.

FAQ

How long until my feet actually peel, and how long does the whole thing take?

Nothing happens on the day you wear the socks. Shedding usually starts three to seven days later, depending on how thick the callus was and how consistently you moisturise, and it runs for roughly one to two weeks before the skin settles smooth. Skin on the heels and balls of the feet comes away in sheets; the arches may barely peel at all. Plan the treatment for a fortnight when you are not going to a beach, a pool or a barefoot event.

Is an acid foot peel safe, and who should not use one?

For healthy feet it is a cosmetic exfoliation, not a medical procedure, and the acids act only on hardened dead layers. It is the wrong product, though, if you have diabetes, poor circulation or numbness in the feet, an active fungal infection, eczema, psoriasis, open cracks or a wound; if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; or if a podiatrist is already treating your feet. In those cases the risk of an unnoticed injury outweighs a cosmetic result — ask your doctor first. And if a peel ever burns rather than tingles, take the socks off and rinse.

Is this product halal or suitable for vegans?

The declared ingredients are plant- and lab-derived, with no animal components, so the pack fits a vegan routine — but it does contain ethanol, which some customers avoid on religious grounds. The product carries no halal certification — Japanese domestic cosmetics are rarely certified — so if certification itself matters to you, this product does not have it.

The packaging is in Japanese — how do I know what I am using?

The carton and bottle carry Japanese-language labelling, because this is stock made for the Japanese domestic market. Where an ingredient list appears on this page, it is translated from that labelling or from the manufacturer's own published data; where the manufacturer does not publish one, the ingredients section says so rather than filling the gap. Either way, send us a photo of anything unclear on the box after delivery and we will translate it, and ask us before ordering if you need the full label list first.

Will I pay customs duty or import VAT?

That depends on your country and on the declared value of the parcel, not on us. We ship from Japan with a correct customs declaration and full tracking; any duty or import VAT your country charges is collected by your local carrier or customs office on delivery. Check your national de-minimis threshold before ordering if you want to avoid a surprise.
