Hong Kong – Japanese beauty brand SHISEIDO has launched a new branding campaign in Hong Kong, highlighting resilience and strength as part of the rollout for the latest iteration of its Ultimune serum.

The #FullBloomBeauty campaign, developed for the Hong Kong market, was created in collaboration with creative agency Omelette Digital, media agency iProspect, and digital agency Pontac. It is also part of SHISEIDO’s global creative platform, “Freedom From Age.”

The campaign presents SHISEIDO’s camellia as a symbol of resilience, flourishing even in challenging conditions. It also features the latest version of Ultimune, which incorporates the company’s Power Fermented Camellia+ technology. This formulation, designed to support skin immunity, targets ageing skin cells using a memory T cell approach aimed at promoting a more revitalised appearance.

“The term ‘全盛期’ has traditionally been used to define the peak era of an individual. It is our privilege to bring a twist to this concept, reminding consumers that beauty knows no age. Everyone can radiate with full-bloom beauty at the best of their age as they unleash their inner resilience,” said Andrea Choi, creative director of Omelette Digital.

As part of the campaign, SHISEIDO also extends its collaboration with Keung To, Anson Lo, Ian Chan, and Edan Lui of Hong Kong boy band MIRROR, who have been brand endorsers for several years.

The campaign features MIRROR members in a story video reflecting on the resilience of the camellia and how it resonates with their personal journeys. Additionally, a series of individual videos highlights each member’s perspective on resilience and their experiences with the latest Ultimune serum.

To extend the campaign’s reach, SHISEIDO has rolled out a series of out-of-home (OOH) advertisements across Hong Kong, reinforcing the #FullBloomBeauty message. The campaign also includes exclusive MIRROR-themed collectibles, available with purchases, offering fans a connection to both the brand and the boy band.

SHISEIDO also launched a series of teaser videos featuring MIRROR members looking toward the iconic IFC building as camellias bloom in the background. These visuals set the stage for an upcoming SHISEIDO pop-up event, inviting beauty enthusiasts to take part in the celebration of resilience and beauty.

Gloria Ho, president and managing director of Shiseido Hong Kong, said, “New Ultimune is our latest science-backed innovation, backed by over 30 years of research, bringing SHISEIDO’s over-the-century Art & Science together. By highlighting Camellia’s resilience story, we aim to inspire and engage local consumers, demonstrating how our product embodies inner strength and vitality, echoing Shiseido’s corporate mission “Beauty Innovation For A Better World.” This branding campaign, combined with our omnichannel marketing strategy, will create a unique and immersive experience for our customers.”

In addition, the film also presents future possibilities for beauty delivered by bold innovation, which the company has pursued since their founding, and leveraging their expertise in science.

“Going forward, we will continue to pursue innovation toward addressing social issues such as environmental problems and realising diversity and inclusion and will strive to bring about a sustainable world where people can enjoy happiness through the power of beauty,” the company said.

The campaign for Shiseido’s 150th anniversary started off on June 1, with it conveying to the world SHISEIDO’s enduring focus on life as the essence of beauty and its ongoing pursuit of uncovering the mechanisms that connect beauty and life.

Japan — Cosmetics company SHISEIDO celebrated its 150th anniversary with the launch of the ‘From life comes beauty’ campaign that started on June 1. The campaign conveyed to the world SHISEIDO’s enduring focus on life as the essence of beauty and its ongoing pursuit of uncovering the mechanisms that connect beauty and life.

No matter how much times change, people continue to seek beauty. Based on this conviction, SHISEIDO has been pursuing the essence of beauty for 150 years, driven by its mission to create products that add a healthy vibrance to your life.

Ryota Yukisada, chief brand officer of SHISEIDO, said, “In today’s era of uncertainty and hesitation, what kind of beauty are we seeking? Our conclusion? Life. If people around the world, regardless of age, gender, and region, continue the conversation about how beauty and life are related, we believe it will inspire changes for a better world.”

The campaign conveyed the enduring spirit of SHISEIDO, which has been handed down in an unbroken line for 150 years, and its hope for the future, embodied in the phrase “From life comes beauty.” Additionally, SHISEIDO launched three limited-edition products to mark its 150th anniversary, the fruits of its unique Life Science research conducted in its ongoing pursuit of the relationship between beauty and life.

The three limited-edition products individually symbolize ‘Heritage,’ ‘Living Innovation,’ and ‘Future’ to signify the company’s past, present, and future. Their designs use an arabesque motif featured on wrapping paper created in the Taisho era of Japan by Sue Yabe, a member of the design department at that time. Using 3D software, that original design was turned into a three-dimensional form, then photographed from a variety of angles and used to decorate the containers and outer cartons. The designs express the dynamism of life that opens up a new future while harnessing the assets of the past bearing 150 years of history.

A special website was also created consisting of three content themes: ‘STORIES’ in which seven people active in various fields talked about beauty; ‘INNOVATION,’ which introduced the spirit of scientific inquiry into life as the essence of beauty; and ‘HISTORY,’ which presented SHISEIDO’s 150-year history. The website conveyed how the brand has continued since its foundation to pursue the link between beauty and life.

In addition, advertisements were rolled out featuring professional soccer player Megan Rapinoe, singer-songwriter Hikaru Utada, and actress Ursula Corbero, and campaign messages were posted on social media from celebrities with connections to SHISEIDO.
