Sustainability

We develop our products with the Earth's future in mind

In order to meet the increasing standards for safety and security around the world,
we are actively acquiring ECOCERT and COSMOS registrations.
  • About ECOCERT
    ECOCERT is an international organic certification body. We undergo a yearly audit in order to maintain the certification of our products.
    Even if ECOCERT approved ingredients are used, the logo cannot be displayed on the final product. To use the ECOCERT GREENLIFE logo, the cosmetics formulated by our customers require a cosmetic certification from ECOCERT GREENLIFE.
  • About COSMOS
    We are also switching to the unified standard for organic cosmetics COSMOS, which was jointly formulated by certification bodies including Ecocert.
    We will consider applying for a product if it is requested by a customer, so please contact us if needed.
    Even if COSMOS approved ingredients are used, the logo cannot be displayed on the final product. To use the ECOCERT GREENLIFE logo, the cosmetics formulated by our customers require a cosmetic certification from ECOCERT GREENLIFE..
  • About the origin of our raw materials
    The ever-growing global consumption trend toward natural and organic products is emerging in the cosmetics industry as well.
    We manufacture our products with great care about safety and security and thus we disclose information regarding the origin of our raw materials to customers who request it.
  • About RSPO
    RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm) is an international certification body aiming to address issues surrounding palm oil and promote the growth and use of sustainable palm.
    Our company joined RSPO in 2012 and obtained supply chain certification in 2017. In the same year, we started selling MB (Mass Balance) certified products. All our palm-derived products can now be purchased as certified products, and we are already providing them to many customers in Japan and overseas.
    We will continue to promote the use of sustainable palm oil produced with consideration for environmental conservation and human rights.

  • Environmental Care
    We are making concrete, company-wide efforts to protect the environment such as switching to LED lighting, promoting a more efficient energy use, and preventing water pollution by plant wastewater. We are taking action against global warming and environmental pollution, for instance by switching to gas boilers in order to reduce our CO2 emissions.
    We maintain safety and quality by complying with laws and regulations, monitoring production and quality according to internal standards, and promoting improvement activities with the participation of all employees. In order to deepen their understanding of safety and environemental matters, we also encourage acquisition of qualifications for our employees.

    In our newly constructed second plant, we are pelletizing our higher alcohols and packing them into paper bags instead of traditional cardboard boxes in order to reduce the amount of packaging material and to help our customers reduce their waste.
    About ISO14001

    In 2003, our company acquired the ISO14001 certification, an international environmental standard that aims to preserve the environment by minimizing the impact of corporate activities.
