SHISEIDO: 140 years devoted to soul, beauty and science Shiseido has been 140 years making women more beautiful, taking care of their external and internal beauty. Soul: The Richness of Shiseido is about the fullness of personal experiences, not about what money can buy. We believe that our costumers can feel the true richness through our uncompromising excellence and attention to details, both visible and invisible, in all our products and services. Beauty: True beauty, in the Japanese ideal, is the harmony of spirit and form: an outer reflection of the inner self. Science: At Shiseido, research extends far beyond the Chemistry of cosmetics and the biology of human skin. It incorporates holistic human perception as well as our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual responses to everything around us. WHAT WE ARE 4
