The essentials, elevated. Our Takamichi liquid soap and ICHI.1 body lotion come together in this skin-loving duo—designed to cleanse, hydrate, and scent the skin with Takamichi’s signature spicy-green fragrance.
The soap is a gentle, glycerin-based wash—sulfate- and paraben-free, formulated to leave skin soft and balanced. The lotion is rich in aloe vera, argan oil, and shea butter, deeply hydrating without feeling heavy. Both are made with wildcrafted botanicals and clean ingredients, bottled in generous, everyday-friendly sizes.

THE BRAND
Known by New Yorkers who value individualistic, precise cuts and styling, Takamichi Saeki and the team at Takamichi HAIR have a top-performance salon showcasing the ultimate expression of Takamichi’s style and vision. Takamichi opened his eponymous salon in 1999, located at 68 East 1st Street, on the corner of 1st Avenue. With a growing, loyal following, Takamichi moved the salon in 2004 to a loft at 35 Great Jones Street. In Fall 2011, Takamichi moved to 263 Bowery, 2nd floor, a modern, luxurious space designed by architect Sandra van Rolleghem and featuring a mural by Barcelona-born acclaimed artist Santi Moix.
Takamichi Saeki began his creative career as the Assistant Director of the ISE Cultural Foundation, a nonprofit organization in Soho that supports artists and scholars whose work promotes Japanese esthetics and culture. In 1991, Takamichi opened his gallery, Salon de Fleurs, partnering with a friend. It was this experience with understanding form and composition that helped to define Takamichi as a hairstylist. He began this second career at Siren, the Nolita salon that developed a cult following in the 1990s when Andre Balazs and John Cale were regulars.
With his line of products, Takamichi’s goal is simple. After 20 years of working with his clients, understanding their needs, and naturally touching their hair, he wanted to help them clear through the clutter and simplify their regimens. His products are timeless, well-crafted, everyday essentials that not only ensure
good grooming now – but for years to come.
