LebeL History

Partnerships with overseas brands led to the establishment of LebeL

The LebeL cosmetic products brand have its origins in two key business developments.
One of these was a hair care products market survey in the United States that later led to a partnership with Clairol.
The other was a hair dryer import contract with Wella, which later led to become a distributor of Wella’s leading hair care products

Based on these developments, we built up a track record in the cosmetic products industry.
The company later dissolved its partnership with Wella, and in 1977 established a technical tie-up with Goldwell,
leading to the launch of the LebeL cosmetic products brand. Among the hit products in the initial LebeL cosmetic
products series were Top Model and Silky Touch Freem.

Sincere approach for research and development

In 2006, we transferred our R&D facilities from Osaka to Shiga offices, establishing the Cosmetic Products R&D Center in an approximately 950-square-meter space covering two floors. At the Center, we engage in not only hair care product R&D and related business, but also in quality and safety management of new and existing products, constantly seeking to better fulfill every aspect of our responsibility as a cosmetic products manufacturer.

Support for training that boosts professional skills

LebeL do not only manufacture and sell products. We also launched the LebeL Winding Contest in Japan in 1981, and today we host the nationwide “Dream” competition, which consists of four parts with the addition of the Weaving Contest for dyeing techniques and the comprehensive hair, makeup and fashion Design Awards (with ladies’ and men’s categories). We offer wide-ranging support for young beauty professionals by offering seminars, lectures, and various opportunities to hone their skills.

Environmental conservation efforts

LebeL engage in a wide range of activities with the goal of minimizing salon work’s impact on the global environment. In 2000 we obtained ISO 14001 certification at multiple sites (plant, R&D Center, Head Office building, Technical Center, sales offices throughout Japan, etc.), and we continue making proactive efforts encompassing all aspects of our business.
