Founded in Tokyo in 2019 by former editor Giselle Go and entrepreneur Philippe Terrien, DAMDAM is a clean skincare brand built on Japanese rituals and craftsmanship. The brand was born from a desire to create minimalist, effective essentials that contrast with complex, multi-step routines. Its philosophy centers on using time-honored, natural ingredients like shiso, rice, and matcha, sourced through regenerative partnerships with local Japanese farmers, which helps to restore and rehabilitate underutilized farmland. This approach honors Japan’s agricultural legacy while ensuring ingredient traceability.
