Yuskin

Yuskin is a brand of skincare products, including the well-known Yuskin hand cream, produced by Yuskin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. The brand name is derived from 'You' and 'Skin'. The company's history dates back to 1955, and the Yuskin cream was first manufactured and sold in 1957.

Yuskin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. was founded on March 11, 1955 as Mizuho Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. The founder, Yoshimitsu Nowatari, was inspired to develop a non-greasy hand cream after a woman with severe chapped hands visited his pharmacy. In March 1957, the company began manufacturing and selling 'Yuskin' cream, a hydrophilic cream with anti-inflammatory camphor and vitamin B2. The company name was changed to Yuskin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. in April 1968. In 1973, a new factory was completed in Yokohama. In 1985, the moisturizing power of 'Yuskin A' was evaluated in the magazine 'Kurashi no Techo'. In 1987, a tanka poem in the best-selling collection 'Salad Anniversary' by Tawara Machi mentioned Yuskin A. In 1992, Yuskin Cream S was launched. In 2000, November 10 was registered as 'Good Hands Day, Hand Cream Day'.
