KEMA Premium Hair Care Enters the Japanese Market
In an exciting development for hair care enthusiasts, South Korean premium hair care brand
KEMA (ケマ) has officially launched its range of products in Japan through
bc.art Co., Ltd. (KEMA JAPAN). This marks a significant moment for the brand, celebrated for its deep commitment to quality and innovative formulas.
In conjunction with this launch, KEMA introduces its first-ever trial set, featuring three essential products in 50mL sizes, available for a limited time starting June 25, 2026, through the official online store,
shop.kema.hair. The trial set is price-tagged at 2,980 yen (including tax and free shipping), allowing new customers to experience KEMA’s quality without a hefty commitment.
A Trusted Name in South Korea
KEMA has made its mark in South Korea, where it is utilized in approximately 2,000 salons, a testament to its efficacy and popularity among professionals. KEMA products are notable for being developed with unique ingredient research and formulation techniques, enabling a precise delivery of quality to both professionals and consumers.
By diversifying its offerings, KEMA aims to address both the salon-exclusive market (B2B) and the home care market (D2C), providing products that enhance both salon treatments and home essentials. The brand's intention is to create an ecosystem in which consumers can experience professional-grade hair care daily while enjoying the results of salon treatments.
Innovative Formulation Philosophy
KEMA's philosophy focuses on ‘structural alignment’ rather than merely providing superficial shine. Their unique approach examines the hair in three layers: the cuticle layer, cortex (protein and moisture), and endothelial complex (CMC), emphasizing the need to maintain structural integrity. This innovative thinking sets KEMA apart in the saturated hair care market.
The formulations leverage premium ingredients that are individually researched and tested, ensuring high-quality outputs. The result is a range of products that genuinely cater to diverse hair needs.
Patented Technology for Hair Tools
In addition to hair care products, KEMA also boasts a patented hair straightener known as the
DBST, aimed at minimizing heat damage while retaining moisture within the hair. This unique technology complements KEMA’s hair care line by ensuring the styling process is as gentle as possible.

A Vision for Beauty
KEMA embodies the principle that beauty begins with order. Underpinned by core values of order, balance, harmony, and uncompromised quality, the brand promotes a sophisticated approach to beauty that harmonizes natural and scientific principles. KEMA seeks to strike a balance between excessive and insufficient treatments, providing a meticulously designed hair care experience.
Comments from Leadership
In OE, the CEO of KEMA JAPAN expresses the brand’s mission: “KEMA has been cultivated in the salon environment. Our goal with this launch is to deliver quality traditionally reserved for systems to everyday consumers. We understand that premium products often require a leap of faith, which is why we’ve introduced the trial set to make that leap less daunting. Users can enjoy a taste of luxury from both salon experiences and daily care, affirming the KEMA essence.”
