Pola Orbis (OTCMKTS:PORBF) (OTCMKTS:PORBF) is a Japanese-based beauty and personal care group specializing in the development, manufacturing and marketing of skincare, cosmetics and fragrance products. Through its two core brands—Pola and Orbis—the company offers a broad portfolio ranging from anti-aging serums and moisturizers to oil-free lotions and color cosmetics. Pola Orbis combines in-house research capabilities with strategic partnerships to innovate formulations that address various skin concerns, including sensitivity, dryness and age-related changes.
The group’s Pola brand is positioned in the premium segment, emphasizing high-performance, scientifically driven anti-aging solutions. Flagship product lines such as B.A and Wrinkler are distributed primarily through a network of dedicated beauty advisors and upscale retail counters. Orbis, launched in the late 1980s, focuses on direct-to-consumer channels and e-commerce, featuring streamlined packaging and formulations designed for daily convenience. This dual-brand strategy allows Pola Orbis to capture both prestige and mass-market consumers.
Rooted in a heritage dating back to 1929, Pola merged with Orbis in 2007 to form the current holding company, Pola Orbis Holdings. Over the ensuing decades, the company has pursued geographic expansion across Asia, establishing subsidiaries and sales offices in key markets such as China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore. Localized marketing initiatives, combined with region-specific product adaptations, have helped the group build brand recognition and customer loyalty outside Japan.
Under the leadership of President and Group CEO Tetsuji Ishida, Pola Orbis continues to prioritize research and development, investing in skin biology and ingredient technologies. The management team focuses on digital transformation—enhancing online sales platforms and leveraging data analytics for consumer insights—while maintaining a commitment to sustainability and responsible sourcing. With its blend of heritage brands, robust R&D pipeline and growing presence in Asia, Pola Orbis aims to solidify its position among the world’s leading beauty innovators.
