In 1956, before Japan became an affluent country, ALBION was born in Tokyo's Ginza district with the audacious dream of becoming the world’s No. 1 luxury cosmetics maker.
Our dream is gradually coming true, as we continue to elevate ALBION into one of the most renowned and respected Japanese beauty brands.
ALBION is an archaic name for Great Britain. Derived from the Greek, the name is thought to refer to the White Cliffs of Dover. The English coastline facing the Strait of Dover is known for its stunning white-chalk cliffs. ALBION’s founders took inspiration from the striking cliff face, which radiates with unpolished, natural beauty.
