According to the study “Colour Cosmetics in Japan”, the skincare products such as aging-care, skin lightening, and skin moisturizing are the leading products. However, the products with multiple functions are very popular. There is a demand for mineral and coloured make-up products. Cleansing products that wash off any make-up very easily and gently are preferred by consumers. Sensitive skincare products in the natural products category are also leading coloured cosmetics in Japan.

Japanese women use less coloured cosmetics compared to the rest of the world and focus on the skin care and complexion. Japan’s Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Law (PMDL) governs the cosmetics industry in Japan. Thus any of the cosmetics companies in Japan are required to comply with the good quality practice, good vigilance practice, and safety management according to the laws. PMDL also concentrates on the package of the cosmetics products in Japan. The country’s cosmetics market is expected to grow at a steady rate in the coming years.
