Shiny skin often appears when you least need it: in everyday life, at the office or on the go. Many people reach for powder, but this only covers up the shine while excess sebum remains on the skin. The result looks heavy, cakey and doesn't last long.

Conventional oil control papers or tissues are too coarse. They not only absorb oil, but also moisture and make-up. They may contain plastics or fragrances that can clog pores or irritate the skin. Especially with oily or combination skin, mattifying quickly becomes a daily challenge.

This premium blotting paper for the face utilises a unique double-sided design: one side is made of natural Japanese washi-paper, which absorbs excess sebum, while the other side is made of a fine non-woven fabric that absorbs sweat. The result is a naturally mattified complexion – without rubbing, without drying out, and without destroying your make-up.

The inspiration comes from Japanese gold leaf production in Kanazawa, where women have been making extremely fine yet highly absorbent paper for centuries. This knowledge enables MAKANAI to produce one of the best blotting papers for oily skin.

Lightweight, handbag-friendly and hygienic, this oil-absorbing mattifying paper is an elegant alternative or complement to powder. For fresh skin anytime, anywhere.

The mattifying anti-shine paper can be applied directly to the skin or over make-up and is suitable for both women's and men's skin.

Gently press a single sheet onto shiny areas of your skin. Start with the T-zone, i.e. the forehead, nose and chin. Do not rub or wipe. The paper absorbs oil efficiently just by pressing it lightly onto the skin. It can be used on bare skin or over make-up. Dispose of the sheet in the general waste or organic waste bin after use. If necessary, you can then lightly powder your skin.

Traditional beauty art from Kanazawa

Born in a gold leaf factory dating back to 1899. Inspired by a centuries-old beauty secret of the craftswomen of Kanazawa.

The secret of the gold beaters

In 1899, the Yoshitaka factory was founded in Kanazawa, the centre of Japanese gold leaf art. Despite extremely harsh working conditions, the craftswomen had remarkably delicate, youthful hands. Their secret: a fermented paste made from washi paper, which was used in gold beating.

The patented KaESS complex

MAKANAI has translated the traditional recipe into a modern formula: the KaESS complex made from persimmon leaves, eggshell membrane and soy sterol. Combined with pure 24-carat gold leaf, it promotes cell regeneration and provides intense moisture. 100% natural.

Purity as a principle

Every MAKANAI product stands for purity, sustainability and the art of Japanese skincare. Natural ingredients, cruelty-free and produced in an environmentally conscious manner. Beauty care as a mindful ritual. Entirely in keeping with the tradition of Kanazawa.
