Kosé Corporation announced Thursday that it will launch Decorté, its luxury skin care and color brand, exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue as per their exclusive distribution agreement. The brand will be rolled out in Saks locations across the US and Canada and on the Saks website beginning in spring 2016.

 
Decorté is considered to be one of Asia’s best-kept skin care secrets. The brand combines ancient practices of Eastern medicine and techno-innovation science to create its products. Each DECORTÉ product uses Vi-Fusion, an approach that regenerates and empowers skin.
 
“We are thrilled to launch our coveted Decorté brand exclusively in Saks Fifth Avenue, an entity known for luxury, taste and elegance,” said Kazutoshi Kobayashi, President and CEO, Kosé Corporation. “Being a skin care leader in Asia for so many years, we are excited to finally introduce American women to our revolutionary products which combine nature, wisdom and advanced science to reinvigorate skin and enhance natural beauty.”
