A New Generation of J-Beauty
J-Beauty has long been associated with quality, attention to detail and carefully developed skincare. Today, however, Japanese beauty is becoming increasingly diverse, combining scientific research, professional expertise, everyday usability and traditional craftsmanship.
At COSME Week OSAKA 2026, visitors can discover a selection of Japanese products that demonstrate different facets of this evolving beauty market.

Professional Expertise Meets Innovation
Professional knowledge remains one of the strengths of Japanese beauty development.

BLISS will showcase three Japanese beauty brands trusted by professional hairstylists. Combining trend insight, functionality, design and ease of use, the brands reflect the practical, performance-driven approach found in Japan’s professional beauty sector.

In skincare, Dr.Select represents another example of professional expertise. Trusted by more than 15,000 facilities in Japan and overseas, the brand offers professional skincare featuring ingredients including stem cell culture extracts and placenta.

Japanese beauty is also embracing advanced technologies to explore new possibilities. CureNology combines a proprietary transdermal delivery system with stem cell culture extracts and NMN, presenting an innovative approach to next-generation skincare.

Gentle Beauty Designed for Everyday Life
Innovation in J-Beauty is not limited to advanced technologies. Comfort, simplicity and everyday skin needs remain equally important.
GLAD takes a barrier-first approach to skincare, with products designed to protect the skin and maintain its natural moisture balance while avoiding surfactants. Its concept reflects growing interest in gentle skincare designed for comfortable daily routines.
This balance between functionality and usability is another characteristic of Japanese beauty: products are developed not simply to follow trends, but to fit naturally into consumers’ everyday lives.

From Made-in-Japan OEM to Traditional Craftsmanship
For global brands seeking Japanese manufacturing expertise, COSME Week OSAKA also offers opportunities beyond finished products.

MANKA provides a complete OEM solution for Made-in-Japan sheet masks, supporting product development from materials and formulations to fragrance, packaging and production planning. For international brands looking to develop or expand their beauty lines, such capabilities offer opportunities to explore Japanese manufacturing and product development expertise.

J-Beauty also has another side: the craftsmanship and cultural heritage behind Japanese products.

YOSHIHIKO FUJII presents unique beauty accessories featuring Kishu lacquerware enhanced with gold and silver leaf. Combining traditional Japanese techniques with contemporary luxury, these products demonstrate how Japanese craftsmanship can create distinctive beauty and lifestyle experiences.
