Pelican Soap Co., Ltd. announced on October 9 its autumn/winter new products, "toromy Face Wash Soap" and "Yusui Lead-in Face Wash Soap." They have been sold since Thursday, October 1, 2026 at the company's official online shop, drugstores, variety shops and more.
There are two types: toromy, which focuses on fermentation-derived ingredients, and Yusui, themed on "lead-in" through cleansing. The sizes are 80g for toromy and 100g for Yusui, and both cost ¥660 (tax included).
*In the pictured images, "foundation" refers to the stratum corneum, and "penetration" means as far as the stratum corneum. "Lead-in" and "moisture boost" mean preparing the skin through cleansing so that the next skincare product is absorbed better.
toromy contains a fermentation-derived cleansing aid and moisturizing ingredients
toromy is a face wash soap the company developed for "unsettled skin (*3)." It contains "fermented rice bran clay (*4)," made by fermenting domestic rice bran with lactic acid bacteria, as a cleansing aid ingredient. It is designed to wash away dirt and old surface skin cells.
It uses fermented fig extract and Yukidoke fermented collagen (*5) as moisturizing ingredients. The scent is fig.
The product name comes from its creamy, "toromi" foam. According to the company, you can make a dense lather without a foaming net by wetting the soap with a little lukewarm water and rolling it in your hands.
*3 A skin condition in which old surface skin cells have built up
*4 Lactobacillus/rice bran ferment (cleansing aid ingredient)
*5 Fermented fig extract: Schizosaccharomyces/fig fruit ferment
Yukidoke fermented collagen: hydrolyzed collagen (all moisturizing ingredients)
Yusui focuses on helping skincare absorb after cleansing
Yusui is a soap that takes the "lead-in" approach of preparing the skin through cleansing. The company explains that washing away sebum and old surface skin cells is designed to help the skincare that follows absorb better. It contains urea and lactic acid as keratin-softening ingredients.
In addition to silk as a skin-conditioning ingredient, it contains rice ferment (*7), hyaluronic acid (*8), ceramide (*9), trehalose and jojoba seed oil as moisturizing ingredients. It has a rounded, cocoon-like shape and a white musk scent. The company highlights its fine-textured, creamy lather.
*7 Aspergillus/rice ferment
*8 Sodium hyaluronate
*9 Ceramide AP, ceramide NP, ceramide EOP, phytosphingosine
