SHISEIDO COMPANY, LTD.

Innovations in creating stable cosmetic formulations, particularly oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions, and developing novel stabilizers or rheology modifiers for desired texture, feel, and shelf-life.

Devices and systems that utilize sensors, AI, robotics, or advanced delivery mechanisms (e.g., electrostatic spraying) to precisely apply cosmetic substances, control application parameters, or personalize formulations based on user data.

Development of personal care compositions that achieve effective cleansing and conditioning benefits while avoiding harsh sulfated surfactants, often using alternative, milder surfactant systems.

Formulations and active ingredients designed to counteract signs of skin aging, such as wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, or to promote skin repair and regeneration through specific biological mechanisms.

Compositions specifically developed for maintaining oral hygiene, preventing dental issues like cavities and gingivitis, and improving cosmetic aspects such as teeth whitening.

Innovative designs for cosmetic containers and dispensing systems that feature modular components, integrated applicators, reusability, or enhanced mechanisms for storing and delivering multiple cosmetic products.

Technologies focused on encapsulating active ingredients or fragrances to control their release, enhance their substantivity, or improve their stability and efficacy in personal care products.

Containers or packaging components featuring active mechanisms for controlled release, preparation, or delivery of their contents, such as liquids, bulk materials, volatile compounds, or single-serve portions.

Methods and apparatus for improving the visual fidelity, resolution, or compression efficiency of video signals, often through advanced processing, up-scaling, or neural network-based filters.

Methods and systems for improving the quality of video streams, generating intermediate frames, or continuously locating and following objects within a sequence of images, even under occlusion.

Multi-layer polymer films engineered to provide superior barrier properties against gases (e.g., oxygen), moisture, or aromas, often incorporating heat-sealing or resealing mechanisms for food and product preservation.

Structural elements within a container designed to secure, separate, cushion, or otherwise protect individual items or groups of contents from movement, shock, or damage.

Systems and devices that precisely regulate temperature for personal care products or appliances, often incorporating sensors, processors, and communication for enhanced control, efficiency, or safety.

Systems and methods that use imaging technologies, computer vision, and augmented reality to provide real-time guidance, localization, and visualization during surgical procedures or for detailed anatomical assessment.

Spraying devices designed to handle, mix, or independently dispense multiple distinct fluid components, often with mechanisms for selection, blending, or sequential application.

Design and synthesis of acyclic or carbocyclic organic compounds that selectively modulate specific biological targets or pathways for the treatment of diseases.

Development of combs, brushes, and other manual or semi-manual personal care tools with novel structural features, materials, or ergonomic considerations to improve user experience, application effectiveness, or specialized grooming tasks.

Packaging solutions that incorporate active components such as motors, sensors, or indicators to perform specific functions, provide feedback, or enable tracking of the container or its contents.

Systems and methods for accurately controlling the volume, location, and characteristics of sprayed fluids, often involving sensors, feedback, or specific nozzle geometries for precise application.

Processes for creating or manipulating three-dimensional digital representations of objects or environments, including mesh generation, surface fitting, and depth estimation from multiple views.
