The Japanese skincare company is pioneering the cosmetics industry offering personalized skincare solutions with active ingredients.
Established in 1952, Japanese skincare company Cathy Chemical Industry is at the forefront of the cosmetics sector, creating innovative solutions with unique ingredients.
The company’s flagship skincare line, Plaskin, launched in 1964 and features products addressing various needs, from cleansing to moisturizing, with a focus on maintaining skin moisture.
The secret to Plaskin’s success is in the ingredients, containing bovine-type placenta material. Company president Hiroyuki Harada explains the benefits of the material: “Placenta contains many active ingredients like amino acids and peptides with effects such as activating the metabolism of a user or the whitening and rejuvenation of the skin.”
The company’s sensitive skin brand, ATP—which was conceived 35 years ago by Ikuo Nishitani, director and general manager of the Development Division—consists of products containing beefsteak plant extract, an anti-inflammatory ingredient that blocks histamines. Mr. Nishitani discusses how the integration of the extract came about due to his daughter’s struggle with atopic dermatitis. He notes: “I applied a beefsteak plant on her skin and what I experienced was amazing, her condition really improved.”
Cathy Chemical Industry’s products are available in the United States and all over Asia, with the company looking to expand its reach particularly in Southeast Asia.
