    Responding to diversifying oral health issues with more scientific research

    From the days when notions about cleanliness were less well formed until the present day, through supplying many kinds of detergent, including laundry detergents and soaps, Lion has helped instill a culture of cleanliness in the society. In prod-uct development, we are currently tackling global environmental issues beginning with those relating to water.

    Expanded a line of prod-ucts based on plant-

    derived materials

    Launched medicated soaps and developed educational activities

    for children

    Response to water resources issues and water use reductions

    Overseas KireiKirei

    Lion’s origins lie in soap and toothpaste. Since the foundation, we have promoted a cul-ture of cleanliness and oral hygiene by providing useful products, and have driven educa-tional activities and provision of information, thus helping to foster good habits.

    Building on these strengths, the Lion Group has been focusing on oral hygiene, cleanli-ness and environmental friendliness, which are of great importance as social issues, as our main business domain.
