YASUYUKI KUROKI
Representative of Botanical Factory Co., Ltd. After working for a food processing company, at the age of 25, he became independent and was involved in cosmetics planning and branding of imported men's cosmetics. In 2005, at the age of 37, he established a handmade soap factory in Minami-Osumi Town, Kagoshima Prefecture. After M&A, he established Botanical Factory in March 2016. In the same year, he launched "Botani Canon," the culmination of his 23 years in the cosmetics industry. Utilizing locally collected plants, the company also manufactures cosmetics on a contract basis. We are exploring ways to contribute to regional revitalization through the cosmetics business, such as measures against abandoned farmland and the development of locally produced products.
