Our proudest R&D members pursue the solidification of liquid cosmetics
Our mission is developing Solid Cosmetics that you will satisfied
Since its foundation in 1905, the company's uncompromising manufacturing DNA has remained unchanged.
We have developed this solid product to satisfy our customers by focusing on its ingredients and performance.
Conventional soap shampoos make your hair squeaky when you use them. This was not a satisfactory product for our customers.
It was found that the squeaky hair was caused by a chemical reaction between the main ingredient of the soap and metal ions in the tap water, forming a squeaky component.
We searched for new cleaning ingredients and after hundreds of prototypes, we succeeded in producing a solid shampoo that does not make hair brittle.
Uncompromising manufacturing for satisfactory quality
At our factories in Osaka and Nara, we have the latest equipment and a thorough inspection system to ensure that our products are of the highest quality to satisfy our customers.
Introduction of an information management system at the level of pharmaceutical production
Maintaining consistent productivity through mechanisation and automation
Introduction of process validation and other measures to develop a sophisticated quality management system
Thorough hygiene control, protection against foreign objects and insects
The production site is also environmentally friendly
In our own factories we have installed solar panels, energy saving equipment. We are also implementing projects to reduce wastewater emissions.
In the first half of the financial year 2021, we have achieved a reduction of about 30% compared to 2018!
