ARGELAN's New Sustainable Approach

In a significant step towards promoting local development, ARGELAN, a popular organic cosmetics brand under Matsukiyo Cocokara & Company, has launched a 100% essential oil-based hand cream. This launch, along with other product updates, aims to create a bridge between sustainability and effective beauty solutions, drawing from nature’s power.

Founded in 2012, ARGELAN has evolved its mission from simply promoting organic products to strongly emphasizing sustainable practices. By aligning its operations with regional development initiatives, the brand is committed to supporting local economies and enhancing the beauty care industry. This renewed focus is now manifested in their latest product releases set for September 11, available nationwide through Matsumotokiyoshi and Cocokarafine stores, excluding select locations, as well as online.

Exciting New Product Range

As part of the product line renewal, ARGELAN unveils several innovative items:
1. 100% Essential Oil Hand Cream - This luxurious hand cream not only moisturizes but also forms a protective veil over the skin, offering three distinct aromatic options: WOODY, FLORAL, and CITRUS.
2. Pure Balancing Hair Care Series - The widely acclaimed hair care line returns with refined formulations focused on healthy scalp and shiny hair, featuring deep-cleansing scalp treatments and nourishing conditioners.
3. New Color Lipsticks and Moist Lipsticks - Enhancements to the existing line include two new shades of moisturizing color lipsticks and a new scent for their moisture lip products, appealing to a broader range of cosmetic enthusiasts.

ARGELAN’s strategy includes utilizing 19 new domestically sourced ingredients to underscore the brand’s commitment to sustainability. Significant emphasis is placed on the lifework of plants for skin and hair health, ensuring that with each use, customers experience the nurturing essence of organic products.

Case Studies: Embracing Local Resources

One noteworthy collaboration has been with the rare domestic nut farm known as Kaya no Mori, which produces high-quality oil from seeds renowned for their superior moisturizing properties and integral to ARGELAN’s haircare line. This partnership has successfully doubled the cultivated area of organic Kaya forests, showcasing a clear commitment to environmental stewardship.

Another remarkable ingredient is the Unshiu mandarin peel extract, sourced from what would otherwise be waste during juice processing. This innovative use not only reduces waste but also enhances sustainability by doubling the amount of peel used in production.
