Banbutsu Nanko" — A Fragrance Evoking Nature: The Birth of a Lifestyle Item Co-Created with Consumers

2026.08.25

Beauty products co-created around the theme of ‘unprecedented innovation’ sent forth by ‘fibona,’ Shiseido Beauty Innovation Hub’s open innovation program. In May 2026, fibona launched ‘Banbutsu Nanko’. Banbutsu Nanko is an ointment-type cream with a novel texture, born from the concept of ‘protecting skin even in extreme dry environments like outer space.’ While designed with specifications that make it usable even inside the Japanese Experiment Module ‘Kibo’ on the International Space Station (ISS), it is engineered to enrich daily life back on Earth. Delivering moisture while shielding the skin, Banbutsu Nanko features a distinct fragrance that subtly evokes a sense of nostalgic nature. How did this lifestyle item—which transcends simple moisture care—come into existence through trial and error? We spoke with the six researchers at fibona who led its development. Based on the Concept of an Ointment That Instills ‘Reassurance and Trust’ ―― Could you start by introducing yourselves and sharing your respective roles in the ‘Banbutsu Nanko’ project? Koshima: I’m Koshima, in charge of product planning for Banbutsu Nanko. My role was to figure out how to package and present this multifaceted product—with its distinctive fragrance and texture, high versatility in usage, and external co-creation—into a cohesive single product. After specializing in fragrance research and development, I am currently working on creating new value through global collaborations.
