Description
Melsmon Moisturizing Facial Soap is a 100 g facial bar cleanser made by Melsmon Pharmaceutical — the Japanese pharmaceutical house that has worked with placenta-derived therapeutics since the 1950s. Within Melsmon's small cosmetics line, the soap sits as the gentle daily-cleanser companion to the brand's better-known placenta serums (Placen 100 DC, Wrinkle Essence XL). Tsujimoto positions it for sensitive-skin daily use, and Melsmon ships it directly from its Japanese-domestic distribution.
Key benefits
- From Melsmon Pharmaceutical, a Japanese specialist house with decades of placenta-skincare heritage.

- Positioned by the brand for daily use on the face, including sensitive skin.
- Pairs naturally with the Melsmon serum range as the cleansing first step of the routine.
- Authentic Japanese stock — sourced and dispatched from our warehouse in Kobe.

Who is this for
Recommended for adults who already use, or are interested in, Melsmon's placenta serum range and want a bar cleanser from the same house to start their routine. Particularly suitable if you prefer bar soaps over foaming washes for environmental or travel reasons. Sensitive-skin users tolerate the bar according to the brand's positioning, but every cleanser behaves differently on individual skin — a patch test on the inner forearm before the first face application is recommended.
How to use
- Wet your face with lukewarm water.
- Wet the bar and lather it in your hands — or, for a richer foam, use a Japanese foaming net (泡立てネット).
- Apply the foam to your face. Do not rub the bar directly on the skin.
- Massage gently for 10–15 seconds, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Pat dry with a clean towel and follow with toner / serum / emulsion.
Tip: after use, place the bar on a draining soap-dish so it can dry between washes — bars last significantly longer when they aren't sitting in a puddle.
Cautions
- For external use only — avoid contact with the eyes; if it gets in the eye, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
- Discontinue use if redness, itching or any irritation appears, and consult a dermatologist if it persists.
- Patch-test on the inner forearm before first use if you have very reactive skin.
- The Melsmon brand is widely associated with placenta-derived ingredients across its line — please review the halal note in the FAQ below before purchase.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Store in a dry, ventilated place between uses; do not leave the bar standing in water.

FAQ
Q: Does this soap contain placenta extract?
A: Melsmon's brand identity is built around placenta-derived skincare — the company is best known for its prescription Melsmon-injection placenta therapy and for placenta serums such as Placen 100 DC. Whether placenta extract is present in this specific 100 g bar is not publicly listed online; please refer to the back of the carton for the full ingredient declaration. If placenta-status matters for you (halal, vegan, etc.), please see the dedicated FAQ entries below.
Q: Is this product halal?
A: Melsmon's product line is centred on placenta ingredients, which are typically pork-derived in Japanese skincare unless specifically marked otherwise. We cannot confirm the exact composition of this 100 g soap. If you follow halal guidelines, we recommend choosing a placenta-free Japanese cleanser from our catalogue instead.
Q: Can I use this with the Melsmon Placen 100 DC serum?
A: Yes — that's the typical pairing. Cleanse with the bar first, pat dry, apply your toner, then the Placen 100 DC serum, finishing with an emulsion or moisturiser appropriate to your skin type.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
A: The brand positions the soap as suitable for sensitive skin, and Tsujimoto categorises it accordingly. Every cleanser still behaves differently on individual skin — we recommend a patch test on the inner forearm before the first face application.
Q: Is this the original Japanese-market product?
A: Yes — we source directly from Japanese distribution channels and ship from our warehouse in Kobe. The bar you receive is the Japanese-domestic version.
Q: How long does shipping take?
A: After dispatch from Kobe, most regions receive the parcel within 7–14 business days. Tracking is provided. Customs duties or VAT may apply depending on your country.
