A Research System that Pursues Novelty and Originality
As well as the development of original formulas based on basic research, we also develop novel and original materials, and original formulas that incorporate market needs and trends. The system that we have in place allows us to fulfill the demands of our clients. It is based on our commitment to texture and efficacy that satisfy our clients, and our ability to add new variations of formulas that ensure safe usage by providing both safety and stability.
Development of Cosmetics Materials
Developing cosmetics materials is one approach that helps us deliver products with originality to the market. One example of that is the functional research we did into Alba Roses from Hokkaido. The materials we develop are used in the development of formulas. As we carry out wide-ranging investigations into new ingredients, we study their functionality in order to create original materials that can be used to develop products that meet the needs of the market.
Collaboration with Academia
We work together with university research institutes on R&D to develop materials and new technology. We do not limit ourselves to the use of only our own resources. Instead, we utilize academic knowledge and laboratory facilities to add novelty to our R&D.
Evaluation of Functionality
To substantiate the reliability of the formulas we develop, we proactively engage in the evaluation of their functionality. We carry out evidence-backed formula development through verification that includes measuring changes in skin on which the product has been used.
Sustainability
As a member of the international community, we work to achieve the SDGs through our everyday business operations:
Reduction of wastefulness and excess energy use within business operations, product development, and the manufacturing process
Manufacture of environmentally friendly products
Creation of a work environment in which human rights are respected and everyone feels their work has purpose
Partnerships with agriculture and academia to develop cosmetic materials and investigate their functions
