We are conducting research and development
of cosmetic materials based on green chemical technologies.
As life expectancy continues to increase and society enters the era of 100-year lifespans, people are seeking not only longevity but also healthier and more beautiful lifestyles. At the same time, in response to SDGs-related challenges, European and American countries are shifting toward cosmetic ingredients that satisfy six important requirements, and this trend is spreading worldwide.
This laboratory was established to contribute to society through the development of novel anti-aging cosmetics based on advanced science and technology while addressing these six key elements. Our goal is to establish a new academic field known as “Innovative Cosmetology.” By taking advantage of Kobe’s unique regional strengths and industry connections, we also aim to advance “Integrative Cosmetology,” an interdisciplinary approach that combines science, business, and management. Through these activities, we promote collaboration between academia and industry to create new social and industrial value.
We conduct research on next-generation hair coloring technologies based on advanced green chemical technologies, as well as skincare technologies aimed at improving wrinkles and sagging skin.
In addition, we work on value creation that incorporates business perspectives, including container development, sales strategies, branding, and entrepreneurship, with the goal of developing new markets through innovative technologies.
