Corporate History
Natural Cosmetics, Ltd. was established in Chiba in 1974 for the purpose of importing skin care and hair care products from Charles Perry Cosmetics CO., Ltd. in England.
In 1976, the company started to import cosmetics, soap, baby foods and other products from Weleda in Switzerland. These were the first natural cosmetics to be imported into Japan.
In 1982, the company began to import cosmetics materials, instead of finished products, and launched production of natural cosmetics in Japan. This move was taken in response to growing sales of natural cosmetics as these products became enormously popular in Japan. Import and production of cosmetics were entrusted to an affiliated company.
To make more effective use of its experience in the imported cosmetics business and of its overseas information network, the company was renamed N.C.
International, Ltd. in July 1988. The company's mission has been to introduce products of superior quality and safety, thus contributing to the enrichment of customers' lifestyles.
Following the conclusion of an agreement with Charles Perry Cosmetics CO., Ltd in June 1991, the company began preparations for local production of Sanders Perry cosmetics in Japan to ensure a long-term stable supply. This marked the start of N.C. International history as a manufacturer of cosmetics.
In 1992, Charles Perry Japan, Ltd. was established as a local production base following recognition by Charles Perry Cosmetics CO., Ltd that the cosmetics produced in Japan were equal in quality to those made in England. This expansion was indispensable to boosting domestic sales and initiating exports to countries in Asia and Oceania. The Tokyo Office was established as the marketing base for these new products.
In 1993, the company opened a pilot shop, Vitrine, in Musashino-shi, Tokyo. The shop serves as a place to interact with consumers, to discover their specific needs.
In 1995, shipments were made to Bangkok, Thailand, as the company's first step in exporting Sanders Perry cosmetics to Asia and Oceania.

In 1998, the company name was changed to Nature's Way Co., Ltd.
In 2000, the company opened a Weleda flagship retail outlet, the Weleda Natural Care Studio, in Kichijoji, Musashino-shi, Tokyo.

In 2001, the company opened the Holistic Therapist School to provide therapists with training to support total beauty and health. The school is located in Nishi-shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, and its theme is healing based on natural treatment methods.

In 2003, the company opened Weleda Natural Care Studio Kobe.
In 2004, the company opened a Nature's Way retail outlet dedicated to beauty and health in Herbis Ent shopping plaza in Umeda, Osaka. Aiming to consolidate and expand on-line sales, the Vitrine Mail Order Division was renamed Nature's Way Online Shop, and relocated to the Nagoya Office.
Weleda Natural Care Studio Aoyama and Kichijoji became the first ISO-14001certified esthetic salons.
In 2006, the company opened Weleda Natural Care Studio Ebisu. INFA School Shinjuku was renamed International Estheticien Collage.
