Founded in 1872 as Japan's first Western-style pharmacy in Ginza, Tokyo, Shiseido has grown into a global beauty powerhouse. Founder Arinobu Fukuhara, a former navy pharmacist, established the company out of a desire to bring high-quality, scientific principles to a market dominated by herbal medicine. This origin story forged the brand's core identity: a unique fusion of Eastern aesthetics and Western science that has defined its approach for over 150 years. Shiseido is renowned for its extensive line of high-performance skincare, including iconic products like the Eudermine softening lotion, first launched in 1897, and the modern Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate.
