What is the shelf life of IREN Shizen products?
Look out for the symbol of an opened jar containing a number and letter 'M' on our product packaging. This represents the number of months the product will stay good after the product is opened for the first time. Eg. 12M = once opened, you have 12 months to use it before its considered expired.
Usually our products have 12 months shelf-life from first opening. 3 years shelf-life without opening.
Is IREN Shizen products safe for sensitive skin?
We do not use any ingredients that are toxic, comedogenic or harmful to your skin. We have blacklisted more than 2000 "toxic" ingredients and base our formulations on factual evidence, using natural botanicals and plant-based actives as our primary formulation. All our products are dermatologist-tested to be hypoallergenic.
Where are IREN Shizen products made and manufactured?
Our products are made in Japan.
Why is IREN Shizen known as vegan skincare?
Our formulation contains no animal or animal-derived ingredients. This includes beeswax, honey, lanolin and dairy products, to name a few.
Does IREN Shizen test on animals?
No, We are Leaping Bunny certified, which means we have passed all the strict international guidelines to not test on animals throughout our supply and production chain. The Leaping Bunny is the most trusted cruelty free certification for non-animal tested products.
What skin types are IREN Shizen products suitable for?
We believe skin concerns are more important. Skin types can be too generic; it is possible to have dry and dehydrated skin, yet still suffer from acne. It is also possible for oily skin types to be prone to sensitivity. A generic indication leads to using generic products catered for one generic use. By targeting skin concerns instead, we created custom serums to solve your specific skin concerns. Skin concerns change often due to age, stress, environmental attacks, climate or hormonal changes. We encourage you to be attentive to your skin needs, while we promise to deliver more visible and positive results.
Can men use IREN Shizen products?
Yes. All our products are formulated for everyone and proven to work with optimal efficacy, regardless of gender.

Can I use IREN Shizen products during my pregnancy?
Yes. Our ingredients are safe and non-toxic. We banned more than 2,000 ingredients that are harmful to skin and environment. To be safe, please do a patch-test by placing a small amount of product on the side of your neck area or wrist area, and test for sensitivity first before using on the face.
