Cosmetics

As the area of cosmetics and toiletries expands into the use of amino acids and peptides. Kyowa Hakko provides ingredients, research, and formulation advice for cosmetic formulators in creating new, functional cosmetic and personal care products for the Skin Care, Hair Care, Lip Care and Make-up product lines.

Kyowa Hakko has recently completed studies on an important amino acid: Lumistor® L-Hydroxyproline.

Lumistor®, is a pure, natural, fermentation-based (non-animal) L-Hydroxyproline amino acid. Due to its physiological activity, it activates collagen synthesis in skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It also increases the Moisture Retention of skin, hair and nails, imparting softness and radiance.
