Shiseido : ushers in new era of innovative cosmetics development by blending century of research with advanced AI technology

About this update from Shiseido Company,limited

The formulation development AI feature integrated into VOYAGER was developed utilizing ingredient informatics*2. The feature of this formulation development AI is that it comprehensively covers product development data including raw material information and formulation data obtained from basic research in cutaneous science, sensory science, and formulation chemistry, as well as data related to container design (Figure 2). By employing AI technology with proprietary algorithms, Shiseido analyzes an extensive database that encompasses over half a million data points that have been passed down and refined by Shiseido's researchers with various areas of expertise, including ingredients, compounds, prototype properties and conditions, sensory experience, stability over time, and the distinctive expertise in quality enhancement. If certain data are not available, the system can predict and fill in missing information using data on various factors such as ingredients, combinations, and stability over time. This enables comparative analyses and similarity assessments across different formulation domains, such as skincare and foundations, facilitating more efficient and precise cosmetic development. Looking ahead, Shiseido plans to integrate several new functions into VOYAGER and drive its expansion to other Shiseido research centers worldwide. *1 ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation is responsible for the platform development. *2 Ingredient informatics is based on comprehensive AI learning that incorporates not only the individual characteristics of ingredients but also data on the effects of different "combinations" of ingredients, texture, stability, etc. Since cosmetic formulas require complex formulations, learning comprehensive data, in addition to using data pertaining to the characteristics of each ingredient, will help achieve better formulation development.
