Teijin Frontier unveils new fibre based cosmetic products
December 01, 2014 - Japan
Teijin Frontier, a fibre products converting company of the $7.7 billion Japan based, Teijin Group said it has expanded the line up of its next-generation cosmetic products.
The new products from Teijin Frontier that leverage high performance fibre technologies, include a soft cotton puff, oil-blotting handkerchief and comfortable hygienic insoles.
The new products, part of the Bijinkakumei series that Teijin Frontier launched in September 2013, are now on sale at the company’s directly owned Sesame lifestyle shops and other retail stores in Japan and Taiwan.
The soft cotton puff features a unique surface laminated with Teijin’s nanofront for extra softness and highly effective removal of makeup and lotions, and cleansing of skin pores.
Nanofront, a high-strength polyester fibre has a cross-sectional area 1/7500 of human hair and has nano-sized bumps that significantly increase the puff’s surface area.
The oil-blotting handkerchief too is a nanofront-made handkerchief which absorbs waxy, oily sebum secretions on the skin and enhances keratin care when washing one’s face.
Its highly soft texture, however, dramatically reduces skin damage due to abrasion. It is compact in size and can be easily carried in a pocket or a bag.
Hygienic insoles, made from rayon fibres infused with skin-friendly minerals from sulphur springs absorb moisture and reduce unwanted bacteria. A slip-proof backing helps to keep the insole snugly in place inside the shoe.
“President, Tetsushi Takenaka said, “We intend to establish Bijinkakumei as a popular brand and expect to realize ¥50 million in sales in the current fiscal year ending March 2015.”
The Teijin Group manufactures high-performance fibres like aramid, carbon fibres & composites, healthcare, films, resin & plastic processing, polyester fibres and converting products.
The group is made up of around 150 companies and around 16,000 employees spread over 20 countries worldwide.
It posted consolidated sales of ¥784.4 billion or $7.7 billion and had total assets of ¥768.4 billion or $7.5 billion at the end of fiscal year March 31, 2014. (AR)
