Decoding method

Shiseido commonly uses a four-digit numeric batch code in a YDDD pattern: the first digit is the last digit of the production year and the next three digits are the day of the year. Some codes include trailing letters, such as 0034HM, which are additional batch or factory identifiers rather than part of the date portion. Because the year digit repeats every ten years and formats can vary by product line or market, the decoded date is an estimate, not an official guarantee. Do not enter the barcode, product reference, shade or SPF number, or PAO symbol; compare the code on the product and carton and contact Shiseido for confirmation when an exact date is required.

About SHISEIDO

Shiseido Founded in 1872 by Arinobu Fukuhara in Ginza, Tokyo, Shiseido started as Japan’s first‑style Western pharmacy, growing into one of the world’s most influential beauty conglomerates. Its name originates from an ancient Chinese classic I‑Ching, meaning “all things are born from the earth”, reflecting the brand’s core belief in nurturing life and creating new value for beauty.

Shiseido’s greatest strength lies in its unique fusion of Eastern aesthetic wisdom and Western skin‑science technology. From its early pharmacy days, the brand combined Japanese holistic beauty concepts with modern pharmaceutical research. In 1897, it launched Eudermine, its iconic reddish‑brown toner, which remains popular for over a century and marks Shiseido’s formal entry into cosmetics.

With eight global research centers and more than one thousand R&D staff, Shiseido has long been an authoritative figure in dermatological study. Years of deep exploration into skin immunity gave birth to Ultimune Serum, its star anti‑aging product, winning hundreds of global beauty awards and gaining worldwide popularity. Its product portfolio covers premium skincare, makeup, sun care and fragrance. Well‑known lines include high‑end main‑line skincare, Anessa sun protection, as well as subsidiary brands such as Clé de Peau Beauté and NARS, satisfying diverse consumer demands across different markets.

Currently operating in nearly 90 countries and regions, Shiseido insists that true beauty goes beyond surface appearance. It advocates inclusive beauty for people of all ages and backgrounds, while advancing sustainable production and environmental‑friendly packaging projects. Rooted in Japanese craftsmanship yet embracing global perspectives, Shiseido continues to redefine modern beauty by balancing effectiveness, sensory comfort and cultural connotation, earning lasting trust from consumers across the globe.
