R&D
The fusion of knowledge and people from diverse backgrounds
continues to create innovation and new value.
Under the philosophy of DYNAMIC HARMONY, Shiseido R&D will drive innovation.
DYNAMIC HARMONY is derived from the origins of Shiseido, a fusion of the Western science and Eastern wisdom, which has been pursued since our founding in the Meiji era as Japan’s first private Western-style pharmacy. We have redefined and articulated our strengths as our unique R&D concept of creating unique unprecedented value by fusing seemingly opposite, oil-and-water values.
To promote the creation of new value based on DYNAMIC HARMONY, we are developing a variety of environments and proactive initiatives that will create the fusion of diverse knowledge and people inside and outside of the company, mainly at the Shiseido Global Innovation Center, our research and development base called S/PARK.
These new attempts will spawn new products, services and create beauty experiences that go well beyond traditional cosmetics to inspire our customers and bring about a new lifestyle around the world.

Preserving the beauty of our earth.
Consumers in every corner of the world are increasingly aware of and sensitive to sustainability.
To them––and to us––respecting the earth and safeguarding its treasures and all the life it holds within is paramount.
For years, we have been pioneers in developing and using packaging that is friendly to the environment. Recently, we proactively began working at creating and introducing biodegradable packaging.
We are currently in the process of tackling issues such as marine litter and the use of limited resources in ways that are both efficient and effective by advancing our unique technology and collaborating with other companies and organizations.
All of us at Shiseido are fully committed to continuing our tireless efforts to create value by procuring ingredients and developing formulations with minimum environmental impact.
The safety, comfort, and peace of mind of our consumers are our utmost priority. Our commitment to and full compliance with the highest safety and quality standards is unwavering and non-negotiable.
Safety assurance is achieved through compliance with our own stringent standards in addition to laws and regulations.
We prioritize quality and safety above all and work to ensure our consumers’ peace of mind.
