Ethical market opens in Shibuya
Two days, November 18th and 19th, 2023.
An event called MoFF 2023 was held at Chatan Park in Shibuya.
It's an ethical market that brings together brands that care about the future of the earth, and by simply shopping and paying, you're helping to protect forests.
Sustainable kiosk "super normal market"
At the entrance to MoFF 2023, there is a shop that stands out.
It's called the "super normal market."
This sustainable kiosk was produced by Minami Fukamoto, an active environmental activist. It is packed with products related to food, lifestyle, beauty, and pets that are indispensable in daily life. All of the products are carefully selected from an ethical perspective.
CONCIO was also exhibited and sold at this Super Normal Market.

The newly born CONCIO will be lined up among a selection of brands.
I couldn't be more honored. Looking at the shelves lined up, I was deeply moved.
The Super Normal Market was also our first opportunity to talk directly to customers. We explained to each and every person who was interested how CONCIO started and what its ingredients are.
Many people were surprised and sympathetic, and decided to buy the product.
They trust and buy the products we make with care.
It was a truly happy and emotional time.

Talk session with celebrities
For me (Kimoto, representative of CONCIO), there was another big event at MoFF 2023. That was this talk session:
The theme was "Clean Beauty" and the speakers were:
- Yumi Iwasa, a beauty professional who has been involved in the beauty industry for many years
- Angelica Michibata is a well-known model.
- Asako Yamakawa from YAKUZEN TOKYO
- CONCIO's Kimoto
I was nervous on the day because of the impressive lineup, but everyone was very friendly and nice (tears)
I was able to speak honestly and straightforwardly, just like myself and like CONCIO.
What makes beauty
For healthy skin and body, it is important to approach it from both the outside and the inside.
During the talk session, the four passionately discussed "What is clean beauty?" from their own perspectives.
As we talked, we learned that all four of them had experienced some pretty serious physical ailments in the past.
Of course, skin care, beauty treatments, and diet are important.
But perhaps the most important thing is to take care of yourself and be happy. The talk session ended with this conclusion.

Thank you for your support.
Participation in the Super Normal Market My opportunity to speak at the talk session was also made possible through recommendations from people around me.
Also, to those who always send me messages on LINE, A writer who previously interviewed me for the magazine ELLE came to watch the talk session at MoFF2023.
There were people who couldn't make it but said, "I wanted to go!" and people who came to talk to us after the talk session ended.
CONCIO is just getting started.
However, it is thanks to your support that I have been given such a wonderful opportunity.
While we are still basking in the afterglow of this event, we would like to take this opportunity to once again express our gratitude to all those who continue to support us.
Thank you very much.
"Thank you" just doesn't feel enough.
CONCIO will continue to manufacture and deliver products with sincerity and honesty, without wavering.
We hope you will continue to watch over us with kindness as we grow.
