- Private Label Care J-Beauty Products
During recent years, Japanese beauty (J-beauty) has gained great popularity throughout the globe. Not only big brands by major companies but also smaller players from the country have been making their way into the shelves of stores in other countries.
However, this is not limited to Japanese companies exporting their products abroad. There are also countless companies all over the world that choose Japanese manufacturers for their unique private label brands which they mainly market in their local countries.
Being a private label cosmetic manufacturer based in Japan ourselves, we witness this demand on a daily basis as we receive many inquiries from various countries.
Some of these inquiries come from companies that prefer to work with a Japanese company based on their trust in the quality and efficacy of Japanese-made products.
However, as the industry is more competitive than ever, many of our clients seek for additional methods to differentiate their products from the competition.
As differentiation on product packaging level is very costly and often impractical in smaller quantities, it comes down to the formulation.
We believe building an authentic J-beauty concept via adapting Japan-origin ingredients is a proven and effective way to do this.
To be able to provide an answer to this demand, we gathered a selection of J-beauty ingredients that can be used in a wide range of products.
On this page, we will be introducing some of these ingredients under 3 categories based on expected efficacy.
We will provide more detailed information regarding the studies conducted to prove the efficacy of each ingredient upon request.
