Company History
Shiseido was founded in 1872 by Arinobu Fukuhara in Tokyo, Japan, as Japan's first Western-style pharmacy. Over the decades, it expanded from pharmaceutical products into cosmetics, becoming a global leader in beauty. Through strategic acquisitions like NARS and later a merger with DIC, Shiseido has built a broad portfolio of international brands.
