Alameda, CA (PRWEB) August 4, 2006 -- The Sugar Mochi Body Polish, the latest offering from mi™, is changing the way women think of beauty. The secret of its effectiveness lies in its main ingredient -- rice. Used in Asia for centuries due to its nourishing and cleansing qualities, the polish contains Japanese sweet rice flour known as mochi and rice bran oil. Enriched with other natural elements including raw Turbinado sugar and California honey, the outcome is a delightful mixture that soothes and nourishes the body.

“Customers tell me that it looks so delicious, they want to eat it,” says Mimie Wong, founder of mi™. “To revitalize one’s natural beauty, our products reinstate the body and mind to a pure and simple lifestyle.”

While most polishes rely solely on the exfoliating factors of sugar or salt, Wong conjures up a satisfying combination that leaves skin silky and sweetly scented all day long. “The mochi flour becomes sticky and squishy when it gets wet. So when it’s added to the sugar-based polish, it creates this unique sponge-meets-scrub effect that gently exfoliates while it moisturizes.”

The Sugar Mochi Body Polish is available in six refreshing scents: Sake, Peony Blossoms, Lychee, Yuzu, Green Tea, and Mango Ice Tea. It retails for $28 and is available at www.mi-spa.com.
