Our organization is organically interwoven for collaboration between experts in divisions, departments and sections. The management promotion committee plays a central role in overseeing everything from research and development to sales.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
We will actively collaborate with universities and various research institutes to search for ingredients from natural sources that are useful for "whitening, moisturizing, anti-aging, hair growth" from natural substances, and do repeated trials to efficiently extract and purify them. Once the efficacy is confirmed, we will check the efficacy at the cellular and biological levels, conduct safety tests, and proceed with commercialization. Unlike industrial products, it is a natural material with many fuzzy parts, but we will utilize the knowledge and know-how we have accumulated so far to commercialize it. We are also working on the development of useful ingredients for health foods that lead to beautiful skin and help reduce metabolic syndrome and aging.

PRODUCTION SYSTEM
We procure environmentally friendly natural resources from all over the world and deliver high-quality products from manufacturing areas with a sanitary environment. Through various equipment and manufacturing technology, we efficiently produce 1,000 types of items per year. We manufacture not only liquids but also powders and granules, and we can meet detailed customer needs regarding standards such as concentration and color tone. ICHIMARU PHARCOS is working on continuous improvement of quality, cost and delivery including environmental measures.

QUALITY ASSURANCE/CONTROL
Equipped with high-performance liquid chromatograph, gas chromatograph, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer, odor sensor, etc., We closely inspect the shape, purity, odor, solid content, specific gravity, pH, etc. of raw materials, intermediate products, and final products.
Inspections are conducted using a high-performance liquid chromatograph, gas chromatograph, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer, odor sensor, etc.
A report is then issued based on these inspections.
Only products approved by the general manager based on this report will be shipped.
We also respond to raw material follow-up surveys and traceability requirements.
In addition, we have built an information management system that collectively manages a huge amount of inspection data, and we are working to create a system that can quickly issue certificates.

LOGISTICS
The products produced are neatly stored in an automated warehouse that is temperature controlled 24 hours a day. They will then be automatically picked and delivered to you as needed. These automated warehousing systems and inventory management systems that keep inventory at the right level make it possible to respond quickly and accurately to small quantities and frequent shipments. At ICHIMARU PHARCOS, we continue to pursue the highest levels of quality and safety at all stages, from securing raw materials to shipping at these final stages.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
We investigate the relevant laws and regulations of each country, apply for regulatory affairs necessary for commercialization, and carry out patent-related work. Our business covers a wide range of tasks, including clarification of cosmetic ingredient labeling names, acquisition of approval precedents for quasi-drugs, patent application and maintenance, and trademark registration. In addition, we support customers' product development by promptly providing necessary information by making full use of various databases such as to search for related patents and search for similar trademarks.
DOMESTIC SALES
Taking advantage of having unique products that have been scientifically proven to be useful, we are involved in the development of new products that meet the needs of people or evoke new demand from the concept work stage, such as product development, application work, sales promotion, etc.. In addition, ICHIMARU PHARCOS is a "development partner" when thousands of cosmetics and functional food manufacturers in Japan develop new products through proposal-based sales that prepare the necessary raw materials based on a specific concept.
INTERNATIONAL SALES
We sell through local distributors in more than 40 countries around the world, including the EU, USA and Asia. Through planning and proposal-type sales activities, transactions are expanding mainly among global cosmetics manufacturers. Demand for natural materials is strong not only in Japan but also in Europe, the United States and Asian countries, and we see such a big trend as a business opportunity and are strengthening our global activities.
