“In response to the increasingly sophisticated and diverse needs of our customers, we have taken aggressive steps to modernize and diversify our operations, including introducing modern facilities from early on. Our research and development staff members are working all the time to create new value, under the philosophy that investing in people and facilities for research is never a waste. As a company that has continues to deliver people and society with freshness, comfort and beauty, we are committed to creating products in line with individual needs, creating new value through diverse and attractive products.”
“Soap comes in a variety of forms, including transparent soap, white soap, laundry soap and metallic soap. Of these, transparent soap (framed soap) is a product that offers a wide range of possibilities. Any type of oil can be used to make soap. Depending on the type of oils used the character of the soap changes.
Our aim is to draw out hidden possibilities of soaps to create products that satisfy a wider range of consumers.
Additionally, our researchers, while always striving to acquire a high level of technological expertise, are dedicated to developing products that meet the needs of our customers.
Transparent soap offers a special quality not found in other cleaning agents. For example, transparent soap is gentle to the environment, as it breaks down easily in the waste water discharged from homes. Of course、this soap is similarly gentle to users’ skin.
We are able to create products that match the different skin types of users by adjusting the qualities inherent in the soap. The refined lather provides effective cleaning without removing the skin’s inherent moisturizing elements.
Depending on the type of oil used, such as palm oil, grape seed oil, olive oil and so forth, the qualities of the resultant soap differ slightly. We begin our soap making process with strong understanding of the special character of each ingredient. We understand the qualities of each type of oil, we understand the qualities of collagen and other moisturizing ingredients and we know the best way to utilize these ingredients together to from soap. It is only through this deep understanding of the individual ingredients and how to combine them that we are able to make the perfect bar of soap. ”

Production method of soaps has not been changed since early times. Although it is true that petroleum-based chemicals are increasing, it is human bodies which have become sensitive.
Some people are allergic to petroleum-based soaps but some are not. So it is not appropriate to say that all the petroleum-based products are bad. People often times become allergic to products because their bodies are unhealthy.
By taking care of your bodies with products with natural ingredients, keeping your bodies fit and using products on health bodies, you can find products which are not good indeed.
It is not possible to make good soaps without accumulated experiences and stores of knowledge.
We will not miss any small changes, will look to absorb all kinds of things and strive to produce ultimate soaps.
