Toyo Beauty

What Toyo Beauty does

Toyo Beauty Co., Ltd. (東洋ビューティ株式会社) is a privately held Japanese cosmetics ODM/OEM contract manufacturer founded in 1941 and headquartered in Osaka. The company provides full-stack services spanning product concept creation, formulation development, manufacturing, and commercialization across skincare (lotions, serums, emulsions, creams, cleansers, facial washes, sunscreen agents, masks), haircare (shampoos, conditioners, treatments, hair-growth products), and body care (body soaps, lotions, milks, creams, liquid bath additives). Operationally, the company runs four manufacturing plants (Ueno, Utsunomiya 1st, Utsunomiya 2nd, Saga) and two research institutes (Innovation Center and Utsunomiya Research Institute), with the Saga Plant described as the largest-scale 'visible factory' capable of demonstrating safety and security to brand clients. In-house R&D capability covers stability, safety, functionality, microbiological, basic, and analytical evaluation, and the firm holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications across all business sites.

The business model is exclusively B2B: Toyo Beauty does not operate consumer-facing products or maintain a public catalog, and explicitly declines to serve individual consumers. Sales and qualification inquiries are handled through dedicated B2B channels at the Osaka office (06-6241-2123) and Tokyo office (03-3548-2991), with no publicly disclosed pricing — all contracts are quote-based and negotiated directly with brand clients. The company markets through its corporate website (toyobeauty.co.jp) and a corporate-news channel rather than consumer advertising. Independent operating signals include participation in CDP since 2022, an EcoVadis 2025 Bronze rating (top 35% globally with year-over-year score improvement), Sedex/SMETA membership, and membership in JCIA (Japan Cosmetic Industry Association) and Keidanren.

Ownership is independent, with no parent company or external investor identified and a single named executive, President and Representative Director Iwase Fumiaki (岩瀬 史明). A related-entity subsidiary, Iwase Kosufa Co., Ltd. (岩瀬コスファ株式会社), operates in cosmetics-related activities. The company claims a global footprint with Asia as the primary served region, supported by multi-standard ESG disclosures that function as procurement gatekeepers for international brand outsourcing relationships. Non-core strategic cooperations include participation in the Cosme Bank Project (surplus cosmetics redistribution), Keidanren Biodiversity Initiative, OZCaF (Osaka Zero Carbon Smart City Foundation), the Keidanren Natural Conservation Fund, and Kyoto University CiRA's iPS cell research fund.
