Milbon Co., Ltd. analyzed the impact of everyday beauty habits on hair and confirmed that repeated pulling causes irreversible changes in the microfibril structure inside the hair. As a result, the thickness and initial elastic modulus of the hair were also found to decrease. The research findings were presented at the 2026 Autumn Textile Society conference.
Milbon Co., Ltd., in collaboration with Kagaizawa Women's Academy University, confirmed that the pre-wash time in the shampooing process affects the non-keratin protein structure inside hair. Compared to a 10-second pre-wash, a 2-minute pre-wash relaxed the structure and increased the absorption of treatment components. The research findings were presented at the 2026 Autumn Textile Society conference.
Milbon Co., Ltd. has disclosed the status of its treasury shares in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act. The shares acquired are 146,700 ordinary shares.
In response to a reported external system vulnerability, we have temporarily suspended e Order, Salon Search, Villa Lodola brand site, and PJOLI brand site. Orders for products via milbon:iD will continue. We will announce the resumption date as soon as it is decided. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
Milbon investigated the mechanism by which water quality changes the finish of shampoos and treatments. They confirmed that calcium ions in the washing water alter the adsorption behavior of hair care ingredients during washing, affecting the post-wash finish. The research findings were presented at the IFSCC Congress 2026.
Milbon analyzed hair samples from 2,558 women aged 20 to 60 at the large synchrotron facility SPring-8. The results revealed that with aging, the radius of the microfibrils that constitute the hair's internal nano-structure increases, and this change is closely related to the formation of internal cavities observed in aged hair. The research findings were presented at the IFSCC Congress 2026.
Milbon researchers discovered a mathematical rule governing hair arrangement that is common even among hair with different appearances at Osaka University Graduate School. Based on this rule, they developed a new metric to scientifically capture hair arrangement. The results were presented at the 2026 IFSCC Congress and selected among the top 10 in the poster presentation category.
