At SmartChip Inc., we provide advanced diagnostic tools that empower professionals in the skincare, healthcare, and cosmetic industries. Established on August 1, 2022, our company inherited two key businesses—Skin Condition Visualization Kit solutions and Timestrip solutions—from our sister company, Promotool Inc., known for its pioneering work in scent and wellness technologies.
Until spring 2023, we served as the exclusive distributor in Japan for the United States-based Clinical & Derm, whose D-Squame and Sebutape products were widely trusted in dermatological and research settings. Due to changes in the manufacturer’s situation, supply became unavailable. In response to continued demand from research institutions and companies across Japan, we took on the challenge of independently developing and manufacturing key stratum corneum and sebum checker tools. Mass production began in April 2024.
Our Skin Condition Visualization Kit, proudly developed and manufactured in Japan, offers a reliable and affordable solution for visualizing skin dryness, roughness, and sebum levels. It enables objective skin assessments without expensive or complex equipment, making it suitable for research, product development, in-store counseling, and e-commerce diagnostics.
By establishing ourselves as a new global supplier of skin sampling tools, we are committed to meeting the expectations of professionals worldwide. This website was created as part of our effort to expand internationally, and we welcome inquiries from overseas partners seeking dependable and innovative diagnostic tools.
Additionally, we handle the domestic distribution of Timestrip products—patented time and temperature indicators developed in the UK. These tools are used for applications such as filter replacement management and cold-chain monitoring across a range of industries.
By combining Japanese reliability with forward-thinking innovation, SmartChip Inc. is dedicated to supporting smarter diagnostics and product development around the world.
