History
Founded in 1930
in Japan, Taiki started as a family-owned sea sponge business. Taiki began producing sea sponges for makeup application and became a globally recognized sea sponge supplier.
1960
Because sea sponges grow bacteria and become hardened over time, Taiki searched for a safer, more effective alternative. Taiki introduced the first synthetic rubber sponge - allergy-free and safe to use - improving the makeup application process for the industry.
1965
This quest for improvement changed Taiki from a sea sponge supplier to an innovator. As Taiki continued its search for more effective and safe products, cosmetic sponge evolved into applicators, which led to makeup brushes and many other application solutions.
1995
To develop skincare category, our Japanese factories obtained quasi-drug certifications, and started to produce sheets masks. Taiki Group is now one of the first masks supplier with more than 150 million sachets produced per year.
2008
To better support its customers, Taiki Group created Taiki Cosmetics Europe, sales office based in Paris, dedicated to European leading cosmetic companies as well as new new emerging beauty brands.
2017
Taiki Group inaugurated a new Research & Innovation center in Osaka, to continue the innovation story of the company.
