Pigeon Central Research Laboratory

Since its founding in 1957, Pigeon has continued to expand its R&D capabilities, building on insights and technology it cultivated as a pioneer in baby products.
In 1991, Pigeon established its Central Laboratory with the goal of further accelerating R&D and expanding its business. Its goal is to create products and services not just for babies but also for mothers and older people, supporting customers at every life stage. The Pigeon Central Laboratory plays a pivotal role in guaranteeing the quality and innovation of the products and services Pigeon sells around the world.

Pigeon Home Products Corporation

Pigeon Home Products was the first company founded in the Pigeon Group. Through research on infant skin and product development, it has driven the evolution of baby products in step with the changing times. With an uncompromising quality focus on safety and peace of mind, it produces skincare products that even newborn babies can use, laundry detergent for baby clothes, and other products. In 2023, Pigeon Home Products opened a new factory, and through factory tours for local residents it is fulfilling its role as a brand promotion center open to the local community.

1. A Level 2 laboratory under Chinese state standards is a Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2) laboratory constructed and managed under the Chinese state standard GB 19489-2008, “General Requirements for Laboratory Biosafety.” A laboratory of this type handles pathologic microorganisms which pose a medium-level latent danger to humans and the environment and limited risk of spreading more widely. It is designed to effectively handle and seal away these pathologic microorganisms posing a medium-level risk through strict engineering design, equipment, and operational procedures.
2. The International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC) was founded in 1956 and counts cosmetic chemist societies from around the world among its membership. The IFSCC Congress, an academic conference held once every two years, is considered the most prestigious venue for presenting cosmetic chemistry research results, and is sometimes called the “Cosmetic Chemistry Olympics.”
3. The Science Citation Index (SCI) is a database that collects papers in highly influential scientific journals.
