In the 1970s, many women discovered their skin was showing signs of allergenic reaction after using skincare products.

FANCL’s founder refused to allow “skincare”, and began conducting research of various skincare product ingredients with dermatologists.After countless rounds of testing, he discovered that preservatives, disinfectants, and other irritating chemicals were causing sensitive reactions and even chronic damages.

FANCL decided to break with tradition and in the 1980s successfully developed and launched the FANCL skincare products, which contain zero preservatives or additives, yet achieved better results.
