Discover Gentle, Earth-Friendly Skincare: Japanese Bamboo Body Towel “Bless” in Onsen Box June Edition

In our June edition of Onsen Box, we’re excited to feature a beautifully crafted item that reflects the essence of Japanese bathing culture and eco-conscious living — the Bless Body Towel [Bamboo Edition]. Made in Japan from natural, sustainable materials, this body towel elevates your daily bath ritual into a moment of care for both your skin and the planet.

What is “Bless”?

Bless means “gift” or “blessing,” and that’s exactly what this towel is — a gift from nature to your skin. The Bless Collection is a line of Japanese bath items made with carefully selected natural ingredients and fibers. Each product is designed to bring the healing energy of nature into your home, starting with your daily bath.

Made from Bamboo: A Powerfully Sustainable Fiber

This version of the Bless Body Towel is woven with natural bamboo fibers, known in Japan for centuries for their antibacterial properties and environmental sustainability.

Fast-growing: Bamboo becomes a full-grown plant in just 3 years — sometimes growing over 1 meter in a single night!
Naturally antibacterial: Traditionally used in Japan for its hygiene and deodorizing properties.
Eco-friendly: A renewable resource that requires no pesticides or replanting.

Soft, Sudsy & Skin-Friendly

While many eco-friendly towels tend to be rough or difficult to lather, the Bless towel is different. By blending natural bamboo fiber with cotton and polylactic acid (PLA) — a fiber made from corn starch, the towel creates rich, creamy foam with just a small amount of soap. It’s gentle on sensitive skin while still providing a satisfying cleanse.

Material composition:
45% Bamboo fiber
30% Cotton
25% Corn-based PLA (Teramac® by UNITIKA)
Size: Approx. 25 x 90 cm – Long enough for back scrubbing!
Biodegradable & Sustainable: PLA is made from renewable plants and breaks down into water and carbon dioxide under natural conditions — a small step toward a cleaner planet.

How to Use the Bless Bamboo Body Towel

Wet the towel with warm water.
Add a small amount of your favorite body soap or cleanser.
Rub gently to create a luxurious foam.
Massage across your body in circular motions — enjoy the soft texture and mild exfoliation.
After use, rinse thoroughly and hang to dry.
