[About the Hit Product Awards] The 'Hit Product Awards' honor products that have contributed to the activation of the self-care market from the combined perspective of manufacturers, wholesalers, and drugstores. Winners are selected based on votes from distribution professionals, including healthcare wholesalers in Yachiyokai and buyers/merchandisers from leading drugstores nationwide.

[About the 'Hepatreat' Series] 'Hepatreat' is a medical-concept medicated skincare brand developed by Nippon Zettoc, utilizing the expertise gained from R&D and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and quasi-drugs. All products in the series contain: - Active Moisturizing Ingredient: Heparinoid - Active Anti-Skin Roughness Ingredient: Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate These support daily skincare for those suffering from dryness and skin roughness, including those with sensitive skin.

The brand concept is 'Making the power of heparinoid more accessible.' The overwhelming moisturizing experience—allowing users to splash on heparinoid-formulated lotion all over their body like water—and its gentleness, safe for everyone from babies to all family members, were among the key reasons for this award.

[Future Outlook] Nippon Zettoc will continue to deliver products that support consumers' self-care, leveraging the R&D capabilities for cosmetics and oral care products and high-quality production management systems they have cultivated over many years.
