This is the official account of Kao in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and the Americas region with our main hubs in London (UK), Darmstadt (Germany), Amersfoort (the Netherlands) and Cincinnati (USA). We focus on our Beauty Care business with premium brands in three business sectors: Consumer Care, Salon and Molton Brown.

Our Consumer Care business represents iconic skin and hair care brands that are recognized for their innovation and quality across the globe, including John Frieda, Guhl, Bioré, Bondi Sands, Curél and Jergens.

Our Salon Business is committed to unleashing the creativity of stylists, salons and consumers around the globe. With our brands Goldwell, Oribe, KMS Hair, Kerasilk and Varis, stylists have everything in their hands to create beautiful show-stopping hair representative of the individuality of their clients.

Our London-based luxury brand Molton Brown, offers fragrance, body and bath products found only in our exclusive Molton Brown stores, high-end department stores and travel retail, as well as five-star hotels around the world.

All three business sectors are driven by the same values and beliefs: We strive to create a Kirei life for people, society and the planet through creation and innovation that enables more sustainable lifestyles. The Japanese word kirei, meaning “clean, well-ordered, and beautiful,” reflects our purpose.

And because our people are our greatest asset, we foster an environment where everyone can grow, flourish and help us make life beautiful.

Globally, Kao has strived to deliver value to the life of people everywhere in the world since the company's founding in 1887. As a Japan-based manufacturer of personal care and household products, cosmetics, and specialty chemicals, Kao creates high-value-added products and services that provide care and enrichment for the life of all people and the planet.
