Vision/Mission
Our mission is to become the world’s top skin care manufacturer with a primary focus on innovative research and development in ingredients, formulations and technologies to provide safe and effective products to boost the skin’s natural abilities for naturally healthy and beautiful skin. We continuously push the edges of cosmetic skin care technology to provide the best quality products to benefit the lives of men and women around the world.
Business Description
Our business focus is on innovative skin care products that improve on the skin’s natural health and abilities while effectively alleviating various skin symptoms without the use of medical treatment. We are able to achieve this through extensive planning, research and development to focus on the cause of the problem and solution for the problem, while also selling through appropriate distribution channels.
Caring for your skin in this day and age seems to be very complicated with all types of imagery and information overload from the mass media, but, in fact, skin care should be simple. Through our research we will focus on bringing simplicity back to skin care and creating safe and effective products without any gimmicks or unnecessary ingredients.
Our world’s first and exclusive ostrich antibody ingredient (INCI: Ostrich Egg Yolk Extract) developed jointly with Professor Tsukamoto, allows us to provide alternative solutions to skin trouble with care that will revolutionize the market by having the ability to nullify the effect of specific troublesome bacteria and provide an optimal balance in skin microbiota.
Additionally, our formulations are researched and developed to provide optimal performance to bring effective results to give you naturally healthy and beautiful skin.
