If you are a fan of Japanese cosmetics, you might have had the experience of checking the official website of a Japanese beauty brand for information on a particular product (probably something you consider purchasing) only to find that the product has been quietly discontinued and is no longer listed on the website.

Est was launched by Kao in 2000. Excluding brands from companies acquired by Kao Corporation (such as Kanebo Cosmetics Inc.), Est is currently Kao’s only department-store beauty brand in Japan.
