How to Buy Japanese Beauty From Overseas (Skincare, Sun Care, Makeup and More)

Many Japanese beauty products are sold mainly inside Japan or are hard to find abroad, so the reliable way to get them is a personal shopper who buys them in Japan and ships them to you. Bazu Mart sources Japanese beauty worldwide, straight to your door.

What kinds of Japanese beauty people want

People usually come to us for everyday Japanese skincare and makeup, described here by what they do rather than by any ingredient. The popular categories are:

• Cleansers: face washes that lift away the day's dirt, oil and makeup.
• Moisturisers and creams: products that add moisture and leave skin feeling soft and comfortable.
• Sheet masks: single-use masks you wear for a few minutes for a quick moisture boost.
• Daily sun care: lightweight sun protection, light enough to wear under makeup.
• Hair care: shampoos, conditioners and treatments.
• Makeup: base, blush, eyebrow, eye and lip products.

Why buy Japanese beauty from Japan

Many Japanese beauty items launch in Japan first or are sold only there, and a lot of them never reach shops in your country. They are popular around the world for feeling gentle and being nicely made for everyday use. Buying through a personal shopper inside Japan lets you get the exact items you want at the source, instead of paying resale markups or settling for whatever is stocked locally.

How to buy it through Bazu Mart

Tell us the product you want (or send a link or a photo), and we buy it new in Japan, pack it, and ship it to you. You don't need a Japanese address or any Japanese, just message us on TG: @bazumart with the item. If you only know roughly what you are after, describe it (for example "a lightweight daily sunscreen" or "a gentle daily moisturiser") and we will help you find a match.

Freshness and shipping

We buy beauty products new from Japanese retailers, so they reach you fresh from the source in Japan. Beauty items are priced in US$, and shipping is billed after we weigh your packed parcel, so you pay the real cost. Any import duties or taxes in your country are paid by you at delivery. One note on liquids: some liquids, sprays and pressurised items have airline shipping limits, so occasionally an item has to go by a slower method or cannot be shipped, and we will always tell you before you pay.

FAQ

Can you get a specific Japanese beauty product or brand?

Yes. Send us a link or describe the product (or the brand and item) and we will source it new in Japan. If something is limited or sold out, we will tell you honestly what we can find before you pay.

Will liquids and creams ship safely?

Yes, we pack liquids and creams carefully to protect them in transit. Some liquids, sprays and pressurised items have airline and courier limits, so once in a while an item needs a slower shipping method or cannot be sent by air, and we will let you know upfront.

Will my products be fresh, and do they have an expiry date?

Yes, we buy new from Japanese retailers, so you get fresh stock, not something that has sat on a shelf for years. One thing that surprises people: many Japanese cosmetics do not print an expiry date at all. Under Japanese rules a product that stays stable for at least three years unopened does not need one, so a missing date is normal, not a warning sign.
