JAPANESE FACIAL SKINCARE ROUTINE:

Double Cleansing & Double Moisturizing

As big as the world is, as many beauty trends we can find in the market. The beauty industry across the world is developing brands inspired in each own culture for internal consumption while also exporting them globally. The demand for global beauty brands has grown due to globalization and increased interest in foreign travel and culture, and the ‘made in’ stamp carries more meaning than ever before.

As a part of the KAO Group, the mission of Kao Chemicals Europe is to strive for the wholehearted satisfaction and enrichment of the lives of people globally and to contribute to the sustainability of society. Following our mission, we would like to approach J-Beauty trend to Western lifestyle, providing a Japanese skincare routine which consists in Double Cleansing and Double Moisturizing based on KAO active ingredients.

Our proposed skin care ritual is based on four essential ingredients, which play a key role in the ritual performance

• Oil-based cleanser is used to remove makeup and impurities. Based on RHEODOL 430V, which emulsifies on contact with water.
• Foam cleanser which clears any remaining residues and purifies the skin. Provides a creamy foam thanks to AKYPO FOAM LM25.
• Moisture spray containing a cholesterol ester, EXCEPARL IS-CE-A, to deeply moisturize the skin.
• Rich & fresh w/o cream with a pleasant feeling, thanks to the use of a unique emulsifier, PENETOL GE-IS.

WATERLESS FORMULAS:

Sustainability concerns are a hot topic and, as consumers grow more concerned, new claims arise in the market panorama. The term “sustainability” is a trending topic in all sectors and this is not only imposed by the industry itself and the consumers, but also by the authorities, who follow the market demand.

Since our business was founded in 1887, we have always put people at the heart of everything we do. This shapes the foundation of Kao's corporate philosophy, as expressed in the Japanese word Kirei.

Kirei lifestyle means living a beautiful life inside and out both for you and the environment.
Every innovation, product or action are in service of people’s needs.

In this regard, we have developed two new Formula Kits for hair and body care available in two environmentally friendly formats: solid and dilutable. Moreover, these are perfumed with our range of exclusive biodegradable fragrances as we explain further.

Both Kits synergise eco-consciousness, water reduction, ease of use and reduced packaging for the innovation and sustainable development of personal care products.

These are the two kits:

• Solid Waterless Kit with Creamy Shampoo and Body Wash. No water needed and with less packaging.
• Dilutable Kit with Conditioner and Hair & Body Cleanser. Concentrated formulas to be diluted before use, low amount of water needed and with less packaging.

BIODEGRADABLE FRAGRANCES:

There is not a specific definition for sustainability and this general term can comprise numerous concepts. From Kao Chemicals, we consider that one of the most important aspects to be aware of when talking about sustainability is the emission of persistent or bio-accumulative substances to the environment.

Our fragrance creations strive to be in harmony with the environment, for this reason, we are committed to offering biodegradable fragrances for personal care.

Don’t waste your time looking for separate ingredients to reach the perfect fragrance, we already did this job for you.
