Safety is always our first priority. With this in mind, we care not only about your health and well-being but also about the environment when developing our products. Here we explain about the ingredients we use in our products which we hope will answer any questions you may have so that you can trust and use our products with peace of mind. 

Our business is made possible throughout the entire product lifecycle by the abundant natural bounty created from biodiversity. We strive to reduce the impacts of our business on biodiversity as well as promote social activities that lead to biodiversity improvements in regions where we have business sites.

At all stages from raw materials to research and development (R&D), production, distribution and sales, we pursue product safety at a high level from a thorough consumer and customer perspective, and strive to continuously improve the quality of our products, in order to contribute to the sustainability of society.

We support and respect international rules relating to human rights, and have developed the Kao Human Rights Policy, which is based on the United Nations (UN) Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. We are implementing initiatives aimed at realizing zero human rights violations in every aspect of our corporate activities. The Kao Human Rights Policy was approved by the company's Management Committee and disclosed in 2015.

Source our raw materials in a way that protects natural resources, the environment and human rights through supply chain traceability and collaboration with suppliers.

Develop products and services based on our Universal Design Guidelines that are easier for everyone to use.
