About Us Investors Careers Brands Sustainability Innovation Beauty / Art News Release Contact Us Japan China Home Sustainability SHISEIDO LIFE QUALITY BEAUTY SEMINAR Sustainability SHISEIDO LIFE QUALITY BEAUTY SEMINAR “SHISEIDO LIFE QUALITY BEAUTY SEMINAR” began in 1949 as a “special beauty class” that taught students planning to graduate from high school how to use cosmetics properly, in order to maintain an appearance appropriate for an adult. Ever since then for over 60 years, these activities have changed the contents according to the objectives and participants and developed with the hopes of making all customers beautiful. The “SHISEIDO LIFE QUALITY BEAUTY SEMINAR”, in which we visit, among others, care management offices, facilities for persons with disabilities, schools and companies to give skincare and makeup lessons in order to help the participants feel the “Power of Makeup” and learn how to maintain an appearance appropriate for a member of society, has become part of the “SHISEIDO LIFE QUALITY BUSINESS” since July 2013 and we have conducted sustainable activities to contribute also to the solution of the issues of a super-aged society.

This is based on the result, which was jointly evaluated with the Tokyo Metropolitan Geriatric Hospital and Institute of Gerontology regarding the “evaluation of the effect to reduce nursing care cost through providing cosmetic healthcare services” (conducted from June, 2014 to February, 2015) after the know-how of the “SHISEIDO LIFE QUALITY BUSINESS”, which has been promoted by Shiseido since 2013, was selected for the “2014 project to promote the development of an industry to increase healthy life expectancy” (*2), which is promoted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry with the aim of establishing the foundation of the “industry to increase healthy life expectancy”. As a result of this evaluation, we have confirmed the improvement effect toward self-rated health (*3) and anti-depression tendency, and confirmed that the “makeup service” is effective as a new healthcare service to increase healthy life expectancy and that we can expect the effect to reduce the nursing care cost. Shiseido will utilize this evaluation result for further improvement of quality in the “makeup service” and development of values of makeup for the elderly, etc. We will continue cooperating with medical institutions, such as nursing care offices, and local governments, etc., and proactively promoting the “makeup service” throughout the country as a healthcare service that leads to the increase of healthy life expectancy for a number of elderly people in the future. *1: Period in which a person can live independently. This is an index proposed by the WHO (World Health Organization) in 2000. *2: Implemented with the aim of developing an industry to increase healthy life expectancy by establishing the industry foundation for services not covered by public insurance to respond to the peripheral demands of public insurance services. 15 organizations were selected in fiscal 2014, and projects, such as business demonstrations and investigations, etc., are being promoted throughout the country. *3: Questions to ask about subjective evaluations regarding elderly people’s own health. While this is a simple index, it is used as an expectation index for various health changes. In recent years, healthy life expectancy has been calculated by using self-rated health.
