Defining HABA

More than a name, HABA stands for 'Health Aid Beauty Aid', an ideal that carries into our extensive line of skin care cosmetics and products. We only use ingredients that are essential to creating beautiful, healthy skin. Our philosophy is to pursue true beauty by maximizing skin's natural healing power.

The HABA factory is located in Hokkaido, Japan, where the fresh air and natural environment provide an ideal setting for manufacturing our products. We have been headquartered in Japan for over 25 years and currently have one store in the US, located in Portland, Oregon at 622 SW Broadway.

All HABA products are paraben-, fragrance-, mineral oil-, chemically synthesized tar color- and petrochemical surfactant-free. (All of these common additives can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions.)

We recommend taking these three basic steps to achieving beautiful, healthy skin: 1) cleanse, 2) tone and 3) moisturize. Even with these three steps, your skin may become imbalanced due to changes in the climate or your physical condition. HABA skin care products contain highly effective components such as Squalane; 99.9% pure squalene (You only need one to three drops a day!), Vitamin C derivative, retinol, coix seed oil and licorice extract, to help further condition the skin and maintain health and beauty.

Squalene is one of the main components in our skin care products. As humans, we all have squalene in our bodies. Squalene is made up 10% sebum, a lubricant found in the sebaceous gland that works to protect the skin and keep it supple. As we age, our bodies produce less and less squalene, leading to the development of dryness, fine lines and inflexible skin.

Another pure form of squalene is shark's liver oil extract. Squalene was discovered in Japan in 1906 by Dr. Tsujimoto. For many years, Japanese fishermen would use this extract for its healing and health benefits. Later, in 1930, scientists conducted extensive research into the benefits of squalene, after noting the apparent immunity of sharks to cancer and other diseases.

Squalene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon, easily producing oxygen when combined with water. This oxygen-carrier has been found to play a key role in maintaining health in humans, both inside and out.

As well as skin care products, HABA also carries additive free makeup and cosmetics for sensitive skin, made with skin-friendly inorganic coloring agents. Our lineup of cosmetics is absolutely fragrance free and devoid of tar coloring, so even those of us with the most sensitive skin can benefit form these outstanding beatification products.

Please take the time to discover all of the wonderful additive free makeup and skin care products we offer.

We promise you’ll love them!!!!
