“Natto Lotion” and “Natto Soap” received "Good Design Award 2020"!
Today we have great news from Suzuki Herb Laboratory!
“Natto Lotion” and “Natto Soap” won the 2020 Good Design Award (sponsored by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion) for the first time.
Natto Lotion and Natto Soap were developed by our founder to cure his newborn daughter of severe skin irritation. These products have been long-selling since the company was founded in 2004, focusing on the moisturizing polyglutamic acid contained in Natto (fermented soybeans).
With a desire to make the Natto Lotion and Natto Soap representative of Ibaraki Prefecture, and with an eye on overseas expansion, we spent a year from the summer of 2017 co-designing the packaging with the help of Associate Professor Tadanobu Hara's seminar at Tsukuba University (@Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture).
We created an image design that combines "Japanese-ness" and a "sense of locality" with the company's brand concept of "Herbal Science".
We received the following positive feedback from the judges.
"Natto is known as a famous Japanese product worldwide. The work was highly evaluated for its innovative idea of making a lotion and soap using Natto.
And, it was also important to note that they put their customers first, focusing on natural ingredients and careful manufacturing.
We look forward to the further evolution of these products so that they will be widely selected around the world."
Natto Lotion
