For more than 90 years, Saishunkan Pharmaceutical has aimed to create products that support skincare and well-being for the people of Japan.<\/p>\n

The firm takes inspiration from kampo<\/em>, a traditional style of medicine. The Japanese company aims to channel that rich background, based around the philosophy of synergy with nature, into its creams and lotions, as well as new food products. According to Masaaki Nishikawa, president of Saishunkan, this involves blending cutting-edge research and development with traditional ingredients. \u201cWe combine kampo and science in our approach. Both our cosmetics and kampo lines are designed to alleviate concerns such as joint pain and skin issues,\u201d says Nishikawa. The health benefits attributed to traditional kampo are related to pain relief, supporting the body\u2019s own natural defenses and countering inflammation, according to Japanese kampo medicines for the treatment of common diseases: focus on inflammation.<\/p>\n

Saishunkan is conducting joint research with Kumamoto university and private companies as part of its new product development eff orts. The president suggested that future partnerships could also involve collaboration with other stakeholders to help expand the company\u2019s product line. The firm is also working to increase its global reach. While already present in 51 different markets, as of the end of September 2024, it is now actively focusing on Taiwanese customers, among others. \u201cTo ensure the long-term continuation of our business, diversifying our network is crucial. We are focusing on building a fanbase overseas and making more people aware of the \u2018Made in Kumamoto\u2019 brand, “says Nishikawa.<\/p>\n
