TIMELESS BEAUTY PIONEERS

ALBION was born in 1956 in Tokyo's Ginza district with the dream of becoming the world leading brand in luxury skincare and cosmetics. Today, ALBION Co. Ltd is one of the most renowned and respected premium beauty companies in Japan and worldwide. Global beauty brands like Anna Sui and Paul & Joe collaborate with us on developing their products.

As a Japanese brand, we are passionate about quality and driven by relentless innovation. Tradition is important to us — we have amassed a wealth of unique and potent ingredients over the years. We blend this rich heritage with state-of-the-art research and the latest technology to offer our customers the finest, most reliable, and cutting-edge in premium beauty. Our five research laboratories are at the forefront of this work. 

Our flagship products — Balancing Milk and Skin Conditioner — have a cult status in Japan and have been handed down through generations for decades. We treasure this legacy. We want our kids and grandkids to grow up feeling confident in their skin and knowing which beauty products they can rely on to bring out their natural, timeless beauty. 

Finest Ingredients

We own the organic field and the research laboratory at the base of Shirakami-Sanchi mountain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern Japan. Here in this ancient mountain range, we meticulously grow many of the plants that go into our products. Our manufacturing process starts with hand-harvesting the raw ingredients. We apply cutting-edge technology to extract the best skincare benefits from each carefully grown ingredient.

As we search the world for the finest ingredients, to ensure the quality and safety of our products, we trace all ingredients that we use, whether cultivated in-house or sourced globally.

Relentless Innovation

Investment in Research and Development is at the heart of the ALBION’s high-performing premium skincare products, created using the latest dermatological science and the highest standards of safety and effectiveness. Our pursuit of innovation is relentless. Whether it’s exploring new ingredients, developing new extraction or infusion technology, or delving into advanced cellular science, ALBION's scientists at our five state-of-the-art laboratories are constantly pushing boundaries to discover new, highly effective solutions to meet skincare needs of our customers.

GIVING BACK

At ALBION, we believe that successful businesses do well by doing good. Our charitable work spans the globe. In Japan we support environmental preservation by partnering with local governments in Saitama and Akita Prefectures. Our initiatives here focus on rice planting and rice harvesting, activities that nurture and protect the local ecosystem.

  • In Madagascar, ALBION has constructed school buildings for elementary and high school students, and we regularly donate educational essentials like backpacks and school supplies, supporting children's education and future.

  • Our commitment to give back includes caring for our team. In Japan's Ginza district and Fukuoka, we've established nurseries, enabling our employees to balance their professional aspirations with the joys of parenthood. This initiative exemplifies our dedication not just to our work but to the well-being and growth of our ALBION family.
