Tokyo: Oil free cosmetics are a favorite of every woman. In Japan, manufacturers give special emphasis to cosmetics which are “safe” for every skin.
“The concept of our skin care products is “oil cut”. It’s important to fill horny cell layer with water in order to keep beauty and healthy skin. We researched what is really needed to keep that skin. And, we found that is not oil, but water,” said Haruka Okumura, Orbis Inc.
Products made by ORBIS are popular in Japan due to being oil free.
However, the company, facing stiff competition in the market, has focused on “Safety and Relief”.
Besides, they have put a lot of effort in interacting with customers by setting up a call center.
This product includes “heat shock protein” which heals damaged enzyme by increasing age or ultraviolet ray.
It has been used by roughly 450,000 people until now.
“We have operated our business in Asia like Taiwan and China. Also, we expanded to Singapore last year and we are going to expand among ASEAN from now on. We think our ‘Oil cut skin care’ will be accepted by Asian people because of having similar skin,” added Haruka Okumura.
