30+ Years of Skin Barrier Research

ULTIMATE OBSESSION

We believe that beauty is not just about the skin’s surface, but is something that can be achieved from within.
Over 30 years in skin barrier research, SHISEIDO has been continuously committed to its focus on the vitality of skin. Dedicated and driven, some researchers even conduct experiments utilzing their own skin as samples to further investigate the mechanism and science of skin.

6,750 Combinations

PURSUIT OF THE BEST

We believe that we are able to offer efficacy through a high quality formula, developed through a complex, multi-step testing process and about 6,750 combinations of ingredients.
Years of dedicated research and diverse variations of ingredients enables the synergetic effect of each ingredient used in ULTIMUNE.

500+ Prototypes

FOR ALL SKIN TYPES

We believe the importance of its texture allows it to be compatible regardless of a customer’s skin type, gender and age.
In the pursuit of compatibility for all skin types, 500+ prototypes of ULTIMUNE were created to ensure the greatest textural formula. Additionally, the research team’s process even includes licking the formula to examine the safety and sensorial qualities, including its signature rich-yet-non-sticky texture.

2,000 Measurements

HUMANS & SCIENCE

We believe that delivering ULTIMUNE’s great sensorial quality should be meticulously evaluated by both humans and science.
The panel of professionals with the utmost standard of verification consists of experts in: color intensity, saturation, scent fragrance and touch. In addition to the experts, the sensorial experience is also evaluated mechanically through an instrument, developed by SHISEIDO, which mimics hand movements used by customers to perform an impressive 2,000 measurements per second.

99.97% Hygiene Control

DILIGENCE FOR DETAIL

We believe that high-quality products can only be achieved in an environment of the utmost standard in hygiene control.
In production facilities, air purification is an essential element of hygiene control and maintenance. Manufacturing is performed in an environment where pollen, viruses, mites and dust are hygienically removed with high-performance filters that can catch particles as small as 0.0003 mm in diameter with an accuracy of 99.97%.

200 Inspecting “Eyes”

NEVER COMPROMISING

We believe that high-quality products can only be created when they have passed through numerous tests and perspectives.
In the manufacturing process of ULTIMUNE, controlled, high-quality inspections begin at the very first stage when the raw materials arrive, to the very last stage of product shipment. The inspections are conducted through a unique combination of 200+ “human eyes” as well as, “machine eyes”.
