Funny. I just came from a hard sell at the mall (didn't buy). If the product is made is Israel why does my sample say made in Japan?

I checked what outer packaging I had left and the bottles of my full sized products and it didn't say where it was made. When I was at the mall they didn't tell me it was made in Israel but that it used the Dead Sea Salts and Minerals. So I am not sure since they never told me exactly where it was made and I didn't ask. Maybe the salesperson was under the mistaken impression since the Dead Sea ingredients came from there the whole thing was made there or maybe they lied, who knows. But I do like the product a lot especially the facial peeling that removes the dead skin. In this dry winter weather my skin is so awful and it saves me and allows me to put on foundation without having my skin look flaky. It looks smooth and nice. So while I really don't have an answer to the question I just wanted to tell you what I did know. I do think those mall guys try to rip people off but getting it on amazon is so much more reasonable.

It is made in Japan. They tell you it's made in Israel to justify the outrageous price they charge at the mall. If you look at the boxes from the mall, there is a clean little round spot where they removed the sticker that says "Made in Japan". The sticker is present on the boxes from Amazon. The kiosk sellers are pretty sleazy.

I just checked the filters and they say JAPAN as opposed to CHINA. I think you are good to go in that arena. Regards. Tom

It is really hard to say if it licensed or not, it has the official mark on the box. Since I think the product is just sells by person who brought for the official site or company. The product from Japan would not be bad actually. After I brought the item, the owner still contact me about my feedback about his item.

No idea. Bought it used without original box. Does made in Japan mean anything to you?

The Alvin website lists the country of origin as Japan. I haven't found any markings on the pencil or plastic sleeve it was shipped in to indicate a country of origin.

These are made in Taiwan. To my knowledge, the Japanese facility was closed after some disaster. I'm unaware if it ever reopened.

Hi Christine, It's definitely not made in Japan. I believe it is Made in China but I don't know 100% because I took the little gold sticker off that said, "Made in XXX." I just know it wasn't made in Japan.

Yes, that's right...imported from Israel. To me the quality seems good but I use it exclusively for making hummus so the flavor ends up being part of the mix, mostly pureed garbanzo beans.

It says on the box that it is manufactured in China but imported by an Israeli company.

You gotta watch what seller it's from. Amazon sometimes just like lumps all the reviews into one product page. If it ships from China, it's probably a bootleg. If it's from Japan, it's probably legit.

The sample I have is made in Japan. it sure helps my skin. Japan makes some good facal creams.

I'm sorry we lost it when we moved apartments. (must have fell off the truck) Anyway, for the price, I doubt it was made in Japan or the US. It's like a Daiso product. It's Japanese, but made in China (most likely)

There are two labels in it. One says "USDA organic" and the other says "International Quality Assurance". And, Kosher Certified by Kosher Certification Services. The origin is from Germany. I hope it is truly from Germany and not from China as other reviewers have mentioned. I understand that China has a history of unethical practice like shipping fake honey to other country and then relabeling it to make the honey appear as if it's a different country of origin.

This product is not related to kosher. It's a processed-in-Japan soy beans product.

Mine was shipped from Israel, but it is made in China (like everything else you buy...)
