[Background of the birth of ORALPEACE]
Pursuing the world’s highest safety and clinical efficacy, we aim to create a safe natural disinfectant that is kind to the body and the environment like never before.
He is a world leader in research on lactic acid bacteria antibacterial peptides and bacteriocins, which control bacteria, and has served as president of the Japanese Society of Lactic Acid Bacteria and the Japan Society of Bioengineering. Professor Emeritus Kenji Sonomoto of Kyushu University Graduate School of Agriculture, who has discovered the world’s top number of discoveries, and
Born in a family where his grandfather founded the Omuta Dairy Company 100 years ago, he worked at a chemical manufacturer researching various synthetic fungicides, and then started a new business to sustain a local dairy company that was facing a severe crisis of business continuity. Regarding “lactic acid bacteria antibacterial peptides”, we have been working on research and business launch of lactic acid bacteria antibacterial peptides and bacteriocins for about 10 years through industry-academia-government collaboration with the national and prefectural governments, together with Professor Emeritus Sonomoto of the Kyushu University Faculty of Agriculture, the highest university in the region. Kohei Nagatoshi, president of an industry-academia-government venture, a researcher and science entrepreneur who graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at Hokkaido University,
After working as a salesman and management consultant, and having a child with a disability, he gained experience in the successful business of social x organic cosmetics “Agro Natura” as a company employee, and became independent for about 10 years. A small business consultant and social entrepreneur who developed the first European cosmetics brand with organic certification, wanting to support people with disabilities and contribute to society through brand and product business, and has been involved in social activities through his main business. (social entrepreneur) Daisuke Teshima,
As a result of research, clean lactic acid bacteria discovered in okara, a food product produced in Fukuoka Prefecture, are cultivated and highly purified to produce “high purity nisin A”, a lactic acid bacteria antibacterial peptide bacteriocin, used as a preservative for organic cosmetics and as a sanitary agent. It all started in March 2011, when the Great Tohoku Earthquake occurred, when we sent an email asking if it could be used to contribute to society.
〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜
At the time, Teshima had started consulting and importing and selling organic cosmetics business, and after the East Japan Earthquake, he worked with Rikuzen along with public relations director Hiroshi Igarashi and art director Minezaki Noriteru of Selza Challenge members, an organization to support people with disabilities. He was away working on the “Fukuko Ume” project, which sells pickled plums at a work facility for people with disabilities in Takada City, and met Eiri for the first time at a cafe in Omotesando in May. At that time, Teshima did not see any business potential in Eitoshi’s research, and in 2012 they became friends and provided management and marketing advice.
Then, in February 2012, when Teshima’s father was battling an illness and his immune system was weakened by anti-cancer drugs, he was suffering from stomatitis and oral candidiasis, and he came up with the idea for the ORALPEACE project.
When I visited my father, who had been prescribed medication for oral candida, at the time of his terminal illness and hospitalization, I casually checked out the commercially available oral care products available at the time at the Kitasato Higashi Hospital store in Sagamihara. Sometimes I think of it.
The only options available for sale were original imported products or imitation glycerin gels with only moisturizing functions, or gel products containing antibacterial agents that had limited bactericidal effects and were harmful to the taste and intestinal flora. Furthermore, imported products are twice the local price, and Japanese-made products cost more than 2,000 yen for a small tube product, which is unbelievably expensive from the perspective of a cosmetics planning and development professional. I was surprised that it was so.
The reason for this is that, although the aging of society has progressed up until now, until the 2000s, there were still a small number of elderly people in Japanese society who needed care or people fighting cancer, and products that meet detailed needs (oral There was no need for a new antibacterial agent that is safe to swallow while killing Candida and other bacteria in the body, the number of users, or the market, is small, so large quantities cannot be produced, and there is no competition among competitors, leading to price competition. First of all, it is thought that it was an expensive product that was disadvantageous to consumers.
Through his work and volunteer work, Teshima has planned more than 300 organic oral care, body care, and skin care products in Italy, Germany, and Japan. From that experience, he learned that the high prices of oral care products for nursing care that were commercially available at the time. Surprised by this, and feeling outraged by the price of the product, which places a burden on families struggling with illness, injury, or nursing care, I planned and produced several organic toothpaste gels in Italy and succeeded in the Japanese market. I realized a business opportunity in my field of expertise,
Utilizing the technology of Eiri’s “Lactic Acid Bacteria Antibacterial Peptide” that we had been told about, we will create an innovative product with functions that are new to the times, at a price that is more affordable and common sense. I came up with this idea after participating in a project to help people in Asian countries without social security, which I learned from a request for support from ORALPEACE project director Takako Ueda Gunasekara, which aims to link this delivery to the creation of jobs for people with disabilities. I came up with a business idea that could be called a national/Japanese version of BOP business, which can be said to be good for all sides from a social perspective.
With the aim of “utilizing my business skills to support people with disabilities,” which is my mission, I have traveled around the country giving wage increase seminars to organizations related to employment of people with disabilities that are involved in support activities for people with disabilities. The current situation remains that no matter how many vocational products are produced, it is difficult to increase income.
Rather than acting as a management consultant, I am trying to solve these social issues by acting as a role model myself and creating a sustainable business that will lead to increased incomes for people with disabilities across Japan and solutions to problems faced after the death of a parent through my own business. I think it’s time to launch an original business that doesn’t rely on taxes or donations and that realizes the “fusion of business and welfare.”
In reality, I am groping and trying to live without any certainty of success, in order to feed my family, in order to pay this month’s rent and car loan, in order to pay for today’s food, in a desperate attempt to survive, which can be called the meaning of my life. It was the launch of a new business. Not long after, Eitoshi retired from the company that had been in operation until her father’s generation and became independent while raising three grown children. For the next several years, the two worked desperately to earn less than new employees.
After that, from the 2010s, society became a full-fledged aging society, and as the market expanded, there were new entrants, but the innovation of ORALPEACE’s technology has a public interest equivalent to the level of new human inventions, and even if it is not a business, it is like my father. We hope to be of help to people around the world who are suffering from oral candidiasis and stomatitis. I think it would be great if I could help people, support my family, support people with disabilities, and live a fulfilling and prosperous life every day.
ORALPEACE has a very limited number of people who can use it or enjoy it, mainly cancer fighters, injured people, and people in need of care, so it would be better if it was limited, but it is a product in a very niche and small field. However, as an invention in this field, it is an outstanding invention in human history, and although it is small in Japan, we are expanding it widely around the world with the hope of delivering it to a limited number of people around the world who are suffering from oral problems. . I think there are a certain number of people in the world who are suffering from such problems.
In addition, existing oral care products have adopted a low-value-added strategy driven by low prices rather than technological innovation, so the benefits enjoyed by humanity are in a tug-of-war with immediate profits and the profits of others, and the added value While many people choose cheap products with low quality, we try to communicate the differences between products to those who are conscious and literate.
Although the sales are very small, it is a product that we hope will help us make a living, and if things go well, we will be able to contribute to society even more, and our families will be able to live a richer life. I would be very happy if I could connect with people around the world who can sympathize with me.
So, the real customers of ORALPEACE are terminal cancer patients like my father who suffer from oral candidiasis and stomatitis during the final stages of their lives, but I can say that there are not many such people. It’s better not to have too many.
We therefore ask that you find other uses for this product and support the continuation of this product and business.
For nursing care, as a toothpaste gel for children who drink toothpaste (with only food ingredients, neonisin is also compatible with mutans bacteria), and as an environmentally friendly toothpaste for mountain climbing or camping in nature (chemical-free, 100% biodegradable) ), pet toothpaste gel (antibacterial agent that sterilizes plaque and prevents tartar, antibacterial substance safe even if swallowed, also for animals and pets such as dogs and cats), oral care goods during disasters (can be used without water), space We would be happy if you could support ORALPEACE if you are a health conscious person who likes additive-free products (plant-based, chemical-free) for travel (ingredients that can be swallowed).
Thank you for your understanding.

…This is off topic, but before and after my father’s death, I lost my uncle and aunt to cancer battles and aspiration pneumonia.
