1. Conceptual design [meeting]

We understand the client's needs and propose product concepts that meet those needs.
SDGs We can also make proposals regarding the SDGs.
Formulation development and design [formulation/specification proposal]

We propose efficacy, fragrance, and feel that match the concept, and propose specifications such as container shape, design, and packaging materials.
Trial production [formulation/specification selection, container selection] 4.

Based on the formulation we have determined and developed, we repeatedly make prototypes and improve them until you are satisfied with the results.
