It is our mission to create and provide products and services that realize our corporate philosophy: "We contribute to the well-being of people by helping them achieve beautiful skin and thereby enriching their mind." To move ahead with this mission, we work in collaboration with medical institutions, for example, when we promote research to prevent and relieve skin problems caused by drugs. We seek to enhance to enhance the quality of life (QOL) of patients in cooperation with medical institutions.
Cancer chemotherapy has been making rapid progress with the advent of molecular target agents. Initially, molecular target therapy was believed to have few side effects. However, it has become a major cause of lowering the QOL of patients during therapy because it is now clear that molecular target therapy causes much more serious side effects, which can affect cancer treatment, than first thought. At present, there is no method to prevent or relieve skin problems based on the onset mechanism of the skin problems. It cannot be said that cancer treatments based on the existing empirical rules have brought about good results.
Masajiro Momotani, who was born to a family operating a pharmacy, opened a new chapter in his life by creating "BIGANSUI Acne Lotion" for his wife, who suffered acne. He started the business of manufacturing commercial drugs under the trade name "Momotanijuntenkan." Backed by its long history and under the corporate philosophy of "contributing to the well-being of people by helping them achieve beautiful skin and thereby enriching their mind," Momotanijuntenkan is endeavoring to implement and promote research in collaboration with medical institutions.
