4 categories of “Body Welcia / Life Welcia”
Each product of “Body Welcia/Kurashi Welcia” is classified into the following four categories.
beauty care
The concept is “clean beauty,” and we develop products with three things in mind: safe and secure ingredients, consideration for the global environment, and cruelty-free. Developed in two lines, a basic line and a premium line. There are two lines of “basic products” (Ao no Karada Welcia), which are affordable for everyone, and “premium products” (Kuro no Karada Welcia), which are value-added products that are particular about ingredients and manufacturing methods. A lineup that meets the needs of any person.
food
The concept is “deliciousness” that comes from our commitment to ingredients and manufacturing methods. In addition to registered dietitian, Kenichi Sakayori, who is known to those in the know as “the man with the tongue of God” in the industry, was also welcomed to the development team. We aim to develop products that lead to mental and physical health, and to create “delicious products = Welcia for the body.”
daily necessities
The concept is “Raku Support”. From the customer’s perspective, we have developed products that help reduce the burden of daily household chores and make it even a little easier. By adding ingenuity to what we have now, we have reborn it as a more useful and even more attractive product.
Healthcare
The concept is “health food that uses ingredients that are gentle on the body. Supervised by a registered dietitian, it is a product that can be continued every day without unreasonable price, after sticking to prescriptions such as blending unique ingredients so that you can feel the certainty. That is what we are aiming for in the “Karada Welcia” supplement series.

Thoughts on the new PB
At the Welcia Holdings Group, we believe that there are good things. There is a good person I think it’s a good store. ], Welcia’s PB “Body Welcia, Life Welcia” is newly developed.
A PB project launched in November 2020 with the aim of “giving new value and surprises to customers”. In the two years since then, we have been aiming to create products that go beyond our customers’ “obviousness” and have “high added value” and “unique products that are not found anywhere else.”
The new PB “Karada Welcia/Kurashi Welcia” is developed in four categories: healthcare, beauty care, food, and daily necessities. At first glance, each product is carefully named so that you can understand what it is. I am clarifying what I want to convey. Welcia will continue to focus on contributing to environmental and social issues, such as using the SDGs as criteria for product development, while focusing on product development that makes use of customer feedback through “Body Voices and Lifestyle Voices” on the official website. We will continue to aim to strengthen the brand. Welcia Pharmacy Co., Ltd. Company Profile
