Research and Development Activities

In a society where our customers' lifestyles and environments are constantly changing, we are engaged in daily research and development so that we can offer proposals that look to the future.
In addition to our existing research and development in eye care, skin care, and oral/food products within the health and beauty business, we will challenge ourselves in a wide range of fields to drive innovation in various businesses.
