About Mizu Candy

The story behind Japan's most innovative cleaning solution

Mizu Candy Story

Our Philosophy

Mizu Candy was born from a simple yet profound question: Why can't everyday cleaning be both effective and beautiful?

Inspired by the Japanese concept of komorebi — the interplay of light and water — we set out to transform the mundane act of toilet cleaning into a moment of aesthetic appreciation.

Our founders, with backgrounds spanning biochemistry, product design, and traditional Japanese arts, spent three years developing a formula that dissolves like cotton candy in water, creating mesmerizing swirls reminiscent of traditional sumi-e ink painting while effectively cleaning and sanitizing.

Beyond aesthetics, we are deeply committed to environmental sustainability. Our products are biodegradable, packaged in recycled materials, and produced in our zero-waste facility in Nagasaki.
