{{nihongo|'''Kao Corporation'''|花王株式会社|Kaō Kabushiki-gaisha}} adalah perusahaan [[kimia]] dan [[kosmetik]] yang bermarkas di [[Nihonbashi]]-Kayabacho, [[Chūō, Tokyo]], [[Jepang]].
==Sejarah==
Kao dimulai sebagai perusahaan manufaktur perlengkapan sabun mandi domestik pada tahun 1887 oleh Tomiro Nagase. Sampai tahun 1940, mereka dikenal sebagai {{nihongo| Nihon Yuki Company|日本有機株式会社|}}, mengubah nama mereka kemudian ke {{nihongo|Kao Soap Company|花王石鹸株式会社|}}, dan akhirnya pada tahun 1985 menjadi Kao Corporation.
;1960-an dan '70-an
During the 1960s and the 1970s, the company expanded to [[Taiwan]] dan [[ASEAN]], dan juga untuk [[oleokimia]] dalam rangka untuk melengkapi bisnis utama mereka. Selama ini, perusahaan meluncurkan produk rumah tangga, produk laundry, dan produk industri untuk memperluas basis pendapatan (seperti deterjen New Beads, pelembut kain Humming, pemutih Haiter dan pembersih rumah tangga Magiclean).
<!--;1980s
During the 1980s, its products Merries diapers, Attack detergent, Biore daily skincare and Biore U daily body care, Curel (1986) and Sofina cosmetics were launched. During this time, Kao engaged in several joint ventures (haircare in Europe, [[Nivea]] in Japan with [[Beiersdorf]]), and acquisitions (Andrew Jergens Company in 1988, Goldwell AG in 1989) in North America and Europe. During this period, Kao also expanded to the manufacture of floppy disks.
;1990s and 2000s
During the 1990s and 2000s, the company expanded into China and Vietnam—countries that, during that time, were opening up their economies to the rest of the world. Also, the company expanded into food products with Econa and Healthya. It also continued to acquire businesses ([[John Frieda]]<ref name="Kao agrees to acquire John Frieda Professional Care">{{cite news | title=Kao Agrees to Acquire John Frieda Professional Hair Care | publisher=Business Wires | url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_2002_August_1/ai_89956915/ | accessdate=2009-11-18 | date=2002-08-01}}</ref>in 2002, [[Molton Brown]]<ref name="Charles Denton ex-CEO Molton Brown">{{cite news | title=Charles Denton ex-CEO Molton Brown | publisher=BBC | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4669173.stm | accessdate=2009-01-06 | date=2005-07-10}}</ref> in 2005 and [[Kanebo Ltd.|Kanebo Cosmetics]] <ref name="Kao purchases Kanebo Cosmetics">{{cite web | title=Kao purchases Kanebo Cosmetics | publisher=Cosmetics Design - Europe | url=http://www.cosmeticsdesign-europe.com/Financial/Kao-purchases-Kanebo-Cosmetics | accessdate=2009-11-18}}</ref> in 2006).
In September 2009 Kao recalled its Econa cooking oil products after it was revealed in the media that one of its ingredients becomes carcinogenic after digestion. According to the media reports, Econa contained from 10 to 182 times the amount of glycidol fatty acid esters found in regular cooking oils. Kao also removed the ''tokuho'', or government "healthy food" designation from the product's label.<ref>Brasor, Philip, "[http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fd20091101pb.html Media Mix: Japanese food-safety label protects business foremost, and not people]", ''[[Japan Times]]'', November 1, 2009, p. 11.</ref>-->
