Belle Coeur Laboratory Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sapporo, Hokkaido), a company with over 30 years of experience in the research, development, and manufacturing of cosmetics, has begun full-scale OEM manufacturing of pet care products. Responding to the market need to provide pets, who are beloved family members, with the same standard of care as humans, they have poured their expertise in human cosmetics development into this endeavor.

The most significant feature is their flexible manufacturing system capable of producing from a "minimum lot of 10 units," made possible by their in-house factory. Furthermore, they have specialized staff with fundamental knowledge in the veterinary field. With formula designs based on animal skin physiology that consider the unique skin pH and thickness of animals, even private salons and startup companies can launch full-fledged original brands.

**Market Background: Shifting from "Consumables" to "Wellness"** As the pet care market transitions from simply choosing consumables to focusing on "wellness"—health and beauty—what owners seek is "the same sense of security and functionality as the cosmetics they use themselves." By applying the skin care and hair care product manufacturing and development technology accumulated over 30 years at their in-house factory in Hokkaido, Belle Coeur Laboratory aimed to create products that are truly gentle on pets' skin.

**Specialized Staff with Foundational Knowledge in Veterinary Medicine** Formulations are jointly designed by professionals in cosmetic development and formulators educated in veterinary medicine. Rather than creating products based merely on image, they select amino acid-based cleansing ingredients and natural oils based on animal skin physiology, proposing products that combine high functionality with skin-friendliness.

**How "10 Units" Will Change Brand Building in the Pet Industry** In traditional OEM, the inventory risk of hundreds to thousands of units was a major barrier. At our company, utilizing the strength of our direct management of an in-house factory, we support orders starting from a "minimum lot of 10 units" (*). We strongly support diversifying business models, such as Private Brand (PB) creation in small grooming salons or the development of niche products specialized for specific concerns. *The minimum lot size may vary depending on the product type. Please contact us for details.

**[Examples of Supported Products]** We handle a wide range of products including shampoo, treatment, paw pad cream, skincare lotion, and moisturizing cream. Please feel free to contact us first.
