About the Brand

The brand was established in the Ginza district of Tokyo as the first Western-style private pharmacy in Japan. Its name derives from the classical Chinese text I Ching, also known as the Book of Changes.

Shiseido entered the cosmetics industry in 1897 with the launch of Eudermine lotion. In its corporate philosophy, it unites art and science, embracing Japanese aesthetics and an uncompromising commitment to quality.
