This is the origin of the magical Pitera, the secret ingredient at the heart of SK-II skin care products. SK-II was born in 1980 in Japan after someone noticed that the hands of sake workers looked much younger than their faces.

This particular liquid, later branded “Pitera,” is a nutrient rich fluid of vitamins, minerals, organic acids, and amino acids.
