On January 24th, natural body care brand Soaptopia will launch a "Valentine's Gift Service" that adds chocolate (starting at ¥1,200) to in-store items.

Soaptopia offers a wide variety of gift sets perfect for Valentine's Day, including bubble bath and bath salts. One standout item is the heart-shaped body soap (¥800), and a limited-edition soap set (15 pieces/¥11,200) is also available on the online store. It's a perfect gift for someone who doesn't like sweet things.

The chocolate included with this product is a reproduction of a recipe from Grandma Hacita, who lives in the village of San Pablo Etla, Mexico. It combines cacao, a nourishing ingredient in this region since Mayan times, with cinnamon and sweet almonds for a simple, organic, and spicy flavor. You can also enjoy a chocolate bath by dissolving it in hot milk or adding it to your bathtub.

Also, Soaptopia will begin selling a new body soap, "SKIN-e" (1,400 yen), from the 16th. The manuka tree is a traditional Australian Aborigine medicinal plant. This soap contains manuka honey, which is packed with the essence of the manuka tree, as well as aloe oil, which helps alleviate skin problems, and lemon myrtle, which keeps skin radiant.
