[personal profile] snarp
I once bought a bottle of Dr. Bronner's soap in Niigata, which is now in [personal profile] thegeekgene's possession. It's the same packaging as in the US, but today I noticed that there's a little Japanese-language label on the back. It doesn't actually say the same stuff as the original label:

It melts away blackheads, leaving beautiful clear skin like a model's!


Does it really, now. I'm sure there's some opaque spiritual significance to this, though, right?

A castile soap made in America by the Dr. Bronner's company. Unlike an ordinary olive soap, it's made with a base of olive oil and palm oil, with the addition of beautifying hemp oil and moisturizing jojoba. And all of these oils are 100% organic! Use it to wash your face or body - it's even mild enough for removing makeup.


Evidently a slightly different marketing posture is required in the Japanese market. There are also some little bubbles saying "Certified Organic" and "Made in America", which is probably not as appealing as "Made in Japan," but slightly better than "Made in China."
