Fancl Sponsors and Hosts 'Parent-Child Kids Skincare Seminar' for Yokohama DeNA BayStars Cheer School Students

FANCL Corporation held a 'Parent-Child Kids Skincare Seminar' on May 17, 2026 (Sun), hosted by the Yokohama DeNA BayStars for students in grades 4-6 of their cheer school and their guardians. On a day that recorded the first midsummer day of the year in Kanagawa Prefecture, 69 people from 30 families participated to learn about the role of skin, the characteristics of elementary school students' skin, and correct skincare methods in preparation for the upcoming season of increased sweat and UV rays. This seminar was held following the start of the company's sponsorship of the Yokohama DeNA BayStars Cheer School in April 2026. FANCL conducts kids' skincare seminars with the desire to 'reduce the number of people suffering from future skin problems by helping children develop skincare habits from a young age.' This time, it was held as an opportunity for cheer school children, who often sweat during lessons and outdoor activities, to learn knowledge and habits to protect their healthy skin from damage caused by sweat and UV rays together with their parents. In the seminar, company employees served as instructors, explaining in an easy-to-understand manner using quizzes and illustrations that elementary school students' skin has a more immature barrier function than it looks and is prone to dryness, and that sebum production begins to increase around the age of 8. Afterward, participants practiced correct face washing and moisturizing methods using the company's 'Clear Up' foam cleanser and gel milk for elementary school students. Furthermore, an experience to measure skin moisture levels before and after skincare was also conducted. Participants were able to confirm the changes in skin moisture levels after washing and moisturizing, with parents and children expressing surprise, saying, 'I didn't know it would change this much!', making it an opportunity to experience the importance of skincare. In the post-seminar survey, all participating children answered that they 'understood the importance of skincare' and 'enjoyed trying skincare.' Happy comments were received, such as 'My skin feels refreshed and good,' 'I learned many things for the first time and it was great to learn so much,' and 'I learned that moisturizing strengthens the skin's protective power, so I want to continue it every day starting tomorrow.' Parents also commented, 'I was able to learn the importance of making skincare a habit from childhood' and 'I could see the change in skin moisture levels with my own eyes, and I realized the importance of skincare.' The company plans to continue holding kids' skincare seminars for Yokohama DeNA BayStars Cheer School students and their guardians in the future. We will continue to provide opportunities for children and parents to learn about skin and skincare together, and promote initiatives to support the healthy growth of future generations.
