COSMOPROF 2026

Natsuko Kamata

Winner CIDESCO Global Award Competition

I was born and raised in Kumamoto, Japan and am now 35 years old. I studied at the Mary Louise Holistic Beauty Academy, and I obtained my CIDESCO Beauty Therapy Diploma in 2007. Later I also obtained a diploma in CIDESCO Aromatherapy.

Now I run a beauty salon with my father, a hairdresser, and my mother, a CIDESCO esthetician. Our salon has been in business for 32 years. Besides performing beauty treatments using herbs and essential oils at our salon, I have been visiting nursing homes and doing aromatherapy since I was 19 years old. Also, I make my own original blend of herbal teas and sell them as my own brand.

Based on my own experience of pregnancy and childbirth, I have also started to diligently offer massage during pregnancy and I also give lectures on childbirth and breastfeeding to pregnant customers. Since 2019, I have also been working as an instructor at a beauty school and have produced many estheticians. I teach respectful esthetics with an emphasis on hospitality.
