Tatcha introduced its lightweight, creamy Dewy Milk Moisturizer with a friendly bunny character, Jiyū Chan, to embody the playful essence of its skincare product and bring its texture and personality to life in a fun way. Named after the word for "free," the bouncy companion is a reminder to lighten up and embrace joy. To go with qualifying purchases, Tatcha created a free Jiyu-Chan Keychain to give out to customers, while supplies last.
