Home > The story behind the brand > Quality control & ingredient selection
A comprehensive quality control system has been established at production sites based on Japanese Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) policies as well as ISO Cosmetics GMP. The finishing touches are placed on products at production plants where meticulous sanitary precautions are taken toward rigorously selected ingredients and materials. Only products that have passed each of the various stringent inspections are offered to our customers.
- Commitment to water purity
- An ultrapure water production system has been placed throughout the production plant and is used in the manufacturing of cosmetics. Ultrapure water refers to water that is repeatedly filtered through super dense filters to not only remove bacteria, but also pyrogenous substances (bacterial metabolites). Using water that is as close to H2O (pure water) as possible means that the components contained in our cosmetics come into contact with the skin in a pristine state.
- Careful selection of cosmetic ingredients.
- Based on our own strict standards, we create high quality cosmetics by using carefully selected cosmetic ingredients.
We are meticulous about creating skincare products without adding fragrance or artificial coloring. Moreover, we use only carefully selected elements and take various measures to maintain the chemical stability of our products with minimal amount of preservative agents. We also conduct allergy tests to ensure that our products can be used safely and loved by many. (They are not guaranteed to prevent all allergies.)
※We create our basic skin care products fragrance and coloring-free, and carry out allergy tests.
