100% USE OF FSC-CERTIFIED PAPER MATERIALS
The FSC certified mark consists of a check mark (le), which is a sign of acceptance, and an image of a tree, which is called the "check tree mark." FSC certification means "a system to protect and continue to use our precious forests," which operate under strict standards.
The "FSC Mix" label is given to products that use a mix of raw materials from FSC-certified forests, as well as wood and recycled materials that meet FSC standards (rules).
Number Three will continue to use digital advertising materials and reduce the use of paper materials themselves, and will use FSC-certified paper materials for all of its decorative boxes and booklets, which will have to be adopted for some of its products in the future.

ISO22716 CERTIFIED", "COSMOS CERTIFIED", AND "HALAL CERTIFIED" KOBE MAIN FACTORY
ISO22716 (GMP)
ISO 22716 is an international standard for manufacturing cosmetics of stable quality. It is also known as Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) for cosmetics, and is included by many governments as a condition for import approval when importing cosmetics. Strict standards are set for facilities and processes, from the receipt of raw materials and materials to their storage methods, manufacturing, and shipping, to ensure that a high level of quality is maintained on a stable basis. Once a product has passed the inspection, it is subject to annual inspections for renewal. Due to the strict standards, few cosmetics manufacturers in Japan have yet obtained certification, but we recognized the need for this international standard from the design stage of our new plant and have been working to comply with it.
HALAL (HALAL CERTIFIED)
WE HAVE MET THE CRITERIA FOR HALAL ACCREDITATION AND ARE AUDITED ANNUALLY FOR RENEWAL.
COSMOS (ORGANIC INTERNATIONAL STANDARD)
COSMOS stands for COSMetics of Organic and natural Standard, an international standard for organic certification. Overseas, especially in Europe, there has long been a high awareness of organic and sustainable food and cosmetics, and many certification organizations exist. Consumers judge whether a product is organic or not by looking at the certification marks of these certification organizations. However, the existence of various certification bodies can lead to confusion among consumers, so in 2010, major certification bodies gathered together to create a unified international standard. This is COSMOS.
ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR COSMETICS TO BE COSMOS CERTIFIED IS THAT THEY MUST BE MANUFACTURED IN CERTIFIED FACTORIES THAT MEET COSMOS STANDARDS. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE STILL FEW CERTIFIED ORGANIC COSMETICS IN JAPAN, AND ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THIS IS THE SMALL NUMBER OF CERTIFIED FACTORIES. WE ACQUIRED THE QUALIFICATION AS A COSMOS CERTIFIED FACTORY IN MAY 2016 SO THAT WE CAN INTRODUCE CERTIFIED GENUINE DOMESTIC ORGANIC COSMETICS.
