Globally, Kao develops consumer products in four fields of business: Hygiene and Living Care, Health and Beauty Care, Life Care, and Cosmetics – in addition to the Chemical Business. In the A/EMEA Region, our operations, family of brands and products are grouped into three sectors—the Kao Consumer Division; Kao Salon Division; and Molton Brown, our line of luxury bath, body and beauty products.
Kao Consumer Division
The Kao Consumer Division has been creating innovative, award-winning products since the founding of Jergens® in 1882. Through our family of brands—Ban®, Bioré®, Curél®, Jergens®, John Frieda®, MyKirei by KAO™ and Wakati®—we offer diverse variety of products that promote healthy, inclusive and sustainable lifestyles—A Kirei Lifestyle—for all.
Kao Salon Division
The Kao Salon Division found its start in Germany in 1948 when Goldwell was established. The company focused exclusively on hairdressers as business partners and its first product, an innovative cold perm, was introduced in 1948. Today, our salon brands—Goldwell®, KMS® and Oribe®—are as unique as each of the salons and stylists we work with and the customers we serve. Through research, collaboration and innovation, we continue to provide solutions that make life beautiful.
