In pursuit of the secrets of beauty hidden deep within the skin, Menard has built on more than 60 years of accumulated research since its founding, a path that led to the launch of stem cell research in 2003.
Menard remains at the forefront of innovation as a pioneering presence in stem cell research in the cosmetic industry.
From stem cells, the source of the cells that give rise to beautiful skin, to gene-level mechanisms of aging, we look beyond surface concerns to identify their true underlying causes, refining root-level approaches to skincare.
At the same time, through joint research with universities and the establishment of endowed research programs, Menard contributes to society beyond the boundaries of beauty, while continuing to take on the challenge of uncovering the many mysteries that remain within the mechanisms of the skin.

Even the most advanced research exists for one purpose: our customers’ smiles.
No matter how sophisticated the technology or how groundbreaking the discoveries, they hold no meaning unless they truly contribute to each customer’s beauty.
Every product is infused with sincere dedication to research and deep care for those who use it.

Through face-to-face consultations, we carefully observe each customer’s skin condition through warm, attentive dialogue, offering skin checks and counseling that address individual concerns.
With an eye toward the future, we strive to develop products that customers will look back on even 10 or 20 years from now and say, “I am truly glad I chose Menard.”

For the joy of encountering a beauty that is uniquely your own, Menard pours its passion into the development of proprietary ingredients.
From on-site inspections of cultivation environments for materials such as Reishi mushrooms and rice, to careful quality checks of harvested crops, every stage is managed in-house.
At Menard’s plant facilities, specialized cultivation techniques are used to draw out the natural vitality inherent in each plant.
Beyond this, our pursuit extends worldwide, from gathering information on potential ingredients to conducting field research, as we continue our search for materials that hold new possibilities for beauty.
The new ingredients born through overcoming countless challenges embody both the confidence of our researchers and their deep care for our customers.
All of this is in service of delivering beauty that only Menard can create.

True confidence in beauty is born from unwavering scientific support.
At Menard, we demonstrate the efficacy of our products through step-by-step verification using a multifaceted approach, including cell culture techniques and artificial skin technologies.
By having monitors use our products in practice, we examine results from multiple perspectives, from skin image analysis to changes in internal skin structure.
Presenting visual data alongside numerical results allows visible changes to be understood objectively.

Because this assurance is grounded in solid scientific evidence, our products can be used with confidence and peace of mind.

True peace of mind can only exist where safety is assured.
Menard places the utmost importance on objective safety, establishing rigorous standards at every stage, from ingredient selection to final product completion.
We conduct thorough checks against safety databases, supplement missing information through in-house testing, and perform final confirmation through patch testing, building an uncompromising inspection system.
Maintaining a consistently rigorous perspective and absolute adherence to laws and regulations, we fulfill our responsibility for safety without exception.

Because each product that touches our customers’ skin is built upon an unshakable foundation of safety, it can be cherished and used with confidence over many years.
