ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
This travel-sized shampoo and conditioner duo harnesses the hydrating power of mekabu, a nutrient-rich seaweed harvested from the waters of northeastern Japan. Each formula contains apricot oil, coconut oil, and laminaria japonica kombu that work together to nourish both hair and scalp.
The maker crafts these formulations to deliver weightless hydration without sacrificing volume, drawing from centuries-old Japanese beauty traditions. Both the shampoo and conditioner are enhanced with aloe vera, blueberry extract, and vitamin B antioxidants.
At 2 ounces each, these TSA-friendly bottles make it simple to maintain your hair care ritual while traveling. The concentrated formulas provide the same nourishing benefits as full-size products in a convenient, portable format.

MASAMI, which means "truly beautiful," was created in 2020 by CEO Lynn Power, co-founder James Hammet and his husband, Masahiro Sasaki. It was inspired by the centuries-old tradition of Masahiro's family, who used ocean botanicals in their beauty routines and diet, sourced from the bays of Otsuchi in Iwate Prefecture, Japan.
At the heart of every MASAMI formula is mekabu, a seaweed that grows in northeastern Japan beneath the wakame leaf. MASAMI says it took a decade to perfect its formulas, and it sources its mekabu fresh from a family-owned seaweed company in Iwate, which harvests, dries and grinds it to MASAMI's specifications.
After the 2011 tsunami destroyed the bays and marine life of Otsuchi, MASAMI launched The MASAMI Institute, which supports local marine biology research to help protect ocean life and the surrounding communities. Its team works with local fishermen and coastline preservation groups to research, monitor and document each season's growth.
