Meet the founder

I’m Naomi Kurata, a holistic esthetician passionate about helping others achieve clear, healthy skin—gently and intentionally. My own journey began with persistent acne that followed me from middle school through college. After years of trying treatments that only left my skin more inflamed, I turned to holistic skincare and began to understand the deep connection between skin health, diet, and lifestyle.

The real shift happened during my annual trips to Japan, where I would stay with my grandmother. Within weeks, my skin would calm and clear—not just because of the slower pace or nourishing meals, but because of the simple, soothing products she used and shared with me. These weren’t trendy or harsh—they were quiet, effective, and designed to support the skin’s natural barrier. In contrast, I had grown up with American products that often felt aggressive and left my skin sensitized and depleted.

In 2017, I became a licensed esthetician to help others move beyond quick fixes and treat the root causes of their skin concerns. I created Mikura to reflect what truly made a difference in my own healing: calming, multifunctional formulas designed to restore balance and protect even the most sensitive skin.

What makes Mikura Skincare different from other skincare brands?

Mikura is founded by a licensed esthetician with a deep understanding of skin—especially sensitive and acne-prone types. Every formula is crafted with intention, combining Japanese simplicity with proven ingredients that work gently and effectively. We don’t follow trends or push 12-step routines. Instead, we offer small-batch, results-driven skincare that restores balance, soothes inflammation, and supports consistently clear, healthy skin.

Are Mikura products suitable for all skin types?

While our products are specifically formulated for sensitive and acne-prone skin, they are gentle and beneficial for all skin types.

If you have specific concerns, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to help!

Can I use Mikura products with prescription skincare or actives like retinol?

Most of our products are gentle and can be used alongside active treatments. However, if you’re using prescription skincare, we recommend checking with your dermatologist.

How long will it take to see results?

Everyone’s skin is different, but many customers notice improvements in hydration, clarity, and a healthier skin barrier within a few weeks. Consistency is key!

Do Mikura products contain fragrance?

We do not use artificial or synthetic fragrances in our products. Instead, we use naturally derived fragrances from ingredients like linalool and plant extracts, which provide a light, natural scent without irritating sensitive skin. Our formulas are carefully crafted to be gentle and non-irritating, even for those with fragrance sensitivities.
