Kanebo

Kanebo has a long history of dedication to beauty - in all its forms.
From silks, textiles and cosmetics to holistic beauty services.
< br data-mce-fragment="1">Kanebo was founded in 1887 as a retailer of cotton. Over the course of a century, we expanded our business to include silk manufacturing and export. Then, in 1936, we released Savon de Soie, a luxurious soap developed through years of study in silk technology. We launched our cosmetics business a year later, in 1937.

Today, Kanebo Cosmetics is one of the leading cosmetics companies in Japan. Our broad and diverse portfolio of skin care and makeup brands sell through multiple distribution channels in over 50 countries and regions in Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

Extensive, innovative research supports all stages of cosmetics development, from basic dermatological science to final product design. In recent decades, Kanebo Cosmetics has paved the way for new areas of beauty and cosmetic science by fusing cutting-edge research and development with unique research domains.

Japanese craftsmanship - its devotion to perfection and innovation - goes into creating a broad portfolio of highly original brands and products with unique functions and sensory qualities that satisfy both skin and mind.

Our unique beauty methods, a trademark of Kanebo, reflect decades of experience as a pioneer in aesthetic research in Japan. Combining advanced skin science with Japanese sensitivity and proven beauty traditions, Kanebo is dedicated to enriching people's lives through beauty around the world.

As member of the KAO Group since 2006, we are developing as a global company by strengthening our brand portfolio and increasing investments in markets with excellent growth opportunities: China, Southeast Asia and Europe.

Kanebo Cosmetics is committed to fulfilling its corporate mission in a social and sustainable manner by practicing strict environmental policies, nurturing diversity and development in the workforce, and utilizing its accumulated beauty knowledge for the benefit of society.
