Shikohin Mushroom-Based Skincare is Now at Neimans
"'ve been a fan of the line since discovering it last year and am pleased that a new (and rather discerning) audience will get to experience its earthy, mushroom-centric formulas."
"Mark my words: I will never give up my
weekly soaks, even in my NYC rental. I
also will never forget to add a few drops of
this soothing essence before melting into
the tub. It's heaven."
Customer Review: "I've recommended this
product to all my friends. It's a must-try for
anyone who loves quality skincare.”
I keep a bottle by my laptop and glide it over my traps, neck, and lower back instead of—and I know how radical this is—standing up and perhaps even stretching. At four P.M., when my energy dips, I slick a bit on my temples and spring back to life. ($50, neimanmarcus.com) —Linda Wells
"I'm a big fan of snow mushrooms in skin care. Much like hyaluronic acid, the ingredient holds many times its weight in water so it's a great pick for light-as-air hydration. I've been smoothing on a small pump of this every morning and night and it's quickly become my favorite summer moisturizer. If you're looking for a formula that feels refreshing, sinks in immediately, and leaves your skin looking juicy and bouncy, this is it. —Sarah Y. Wu, beauty contributor"
"Nary a day goes by that I’m not dreaming of Japan’s soothing and serene onsen baths. Holding me over until a trip this fall are Shikohin’s tablets, which bring the onsen experience to your bath by way of minerals from the Kinugawa hot springs. I don’t have a tub at home; instead, I pack them with me whenever I travel so that I can indulge in a grounding and tension-melting soak on the road.—L.V."
"If you'd rather use a tool, Getz recommends the Shikohin Gua Shapaired with a natural, hydrating oil, like jojobafor hydration or rosemary for hair growth. This will help your gua sha glide along the scalp without getting caught up in your hair."
"Shikohin Onsen Bath Tablets: The name of this brand translates to “indulgent” in Japanese. Its products are all about partaking in slow, mindful beauty rituals. Take these bath bombs, which are meant to mimic the experience of a Japanese hot spring bath. Infused with Epsom salts and CBD, they’re the perfect way to make any bath feel that much more relaxing and, well, indulgent."
"Shikohin Reflexology Massage Cream: The hands and feet need nourishment too. Give the skin some TLC with this rejuvenating cream that harnesses the moisture-retaining abilities of snow mushroom an CBD for ultimate relaxation and tension relief. Plus, the soothing aroma will transport you to a tranquil forest, courtesy of repurposed hiba wood and camphor extracts."
"Shikohin, a line of mushroom-powered body care inspired by Japanese forest bathing, was called out by several influential attendees Glossy spoke to at the show as a standout exhibitor.
Shikohin marks his first foray into personal care. The line is inspired by forest bathing and foraging for mushrooms during his childhood in Japan."
"If you bottled forest bathing, I wager this would be the result. A deep sense of calm is evoked when I slather this vegetal elixir enriched with hemp oil, functional cannabinoids and tamanu oil, a calming antioxidant. It smells as true to nature as you can get, and leaves behind a mellow glow, physical as well as metaphorical."
One of the brand’s recent standouts is the 5 Mushroom Moisturizer, an antioxidant-rich hydrating serum that combines snow, reishi, wood ear, maitake, and chaga mushrooms. Experts say the fungi are your skin’s friends: “Snow mushroom has been used in Chinese medicine for ages and has a host of benefits ranging from antioxidant protection to anti-inflammatory effects,” says dermatologist Joyce Park, MD, founder of Skin Refinery, a virtual dermatology practice based in Seattle.
Blooming Bath Essence - Give your “everything bath” an instant upgrade with this luxe essence made with good-for-you ingredients like camellia oil, rice bran oil, and Japanese Yomogi leaves. Pour a drop into the tub and watch as it turns into a milky, silky emulsion that soothes and moisturizes your skin.
Shikohin Blooming Yomogi Bath Essence
Bring Japanese forest bathing (and that specific scent) to your bathtub with this luxe essence that transforms from a milky emulsion once it hits the water. The soothing and uplifting blend of camellia oil, rice bran oil and yomogi leaves is a treat for the senses and your skin, leaving it soft and smooth.
Launched in 2022 and entering Neiman Marcus now, Shikohin, which sells skincare and bath products powered by mushrooms, cold-pressed herbs and additional natural ingredients, is Nobuhara’s latest project. He says the brand is grounded in “holistic wellness and the Japanese philosophy of balanced, slow beauty. Our intention is to offer everyone an opportunity to feel comfortable, healthy and happy at least once a day.”
Founder Takeshi Nabuhara’s childhood spent foraging edible mushrooms and wild plants led to the creation of Shikohin, which focuses on luxurious, elegant, and, most importantly, functional bath and body products. We especially love the pared-back yet authentic onsen (bath) staples, like the tablets made of minerals from the Kinugawa hot springs and the CBD-infused Enchanting Dry Body Oil.
“The Transportive Bath Oil”
”Blooming Yomogi Bath Essence”
”“I used this bath oil inspired by the Japanese onsen bathing culture and immediately felt transported. First, the blooming effect when you pour it into the bath is a delight. The earthy scent will make you feel like you're having a luxurious onsen bath (even if you're really in a tiny bathroom in NYC). Plus, the camellia oil, rice bran oil, and yomogi leaves left my skin feeling silky-soft — I even skipped moisturizer.” — FX”
A skin care and wellness brand centered around Japanese self-care rituals, Shikohin has a range of deeply restorative face, body and bath products. With influences from the US, Japan and France, the California-based brand from Takeshi Nobuhara takes a holistic approach that modernizes the onsen experience with CBD-infused lotions, bath tablets and more. The healing effects of the CBD complement Asian ingredients, like Japanese cypress and yuzu.
Japanese beauty is a holistic approach where you enjoy the ritual of taking care of your body inside and out. Shikohin founder Takeshi Nobuhara created products to celebrate that tradition. From its Enlightening Night Serum to Instant Relief Roll-On, you’ll find something that soothes and nourishes your skin (and your soul).
Dumont says tamanu oil is the star ingredient in this body oil. “Not only does it calm down and repair the skin, but it also leaves the skin soft with a glowing golden touch,” he says. Plus, it has a great woody scent.

“My boyfriend commented on the calluses on my feet one day. So not that he shamed me into using this, but one day I thought, well maybe I should try this.

It has a medicinal, herbal smell but I find it really soothing and comforting.”

Each one contains 60 milligrams of soothing Functional Cannabinoids, along with the same rich minerals you'd find in an onsen. I drop three of them into hot bathwater, let them fizz, and then luxuriate for a solid hour. And instead of sulfur, they give off the scent of citrusy yuzu, which is definitely an upgrade."
