《Shiseido's Discovery: "Stress G Harmonizer" to Care for "Stress Odor"》

Focusing on the gases emitted from the skin's surface (skin gas), Shiseido discovered that psychological stress can cause a distinctive odor to be released as skin gas, identifying the components responsible for this phenomenon^※3. To verify the psychological impact of these "stress odor" components, a study using a questionnaire was conducted, confirming that this stress odor can potentially affect the individual's psychological state^※4. "Stress G Harmonizer" incorporates "Harmonage Fragrance," which helps care for the "stress odor" that unconsciously emanates from the skin due to mental tension.

※4 In a study evaluating the psychological state of relaxed subjects before and after smelling stress odor samples using POMS^※5, it was found that compared to when they were relaxed, there was a significant increase in POMS levels in categories such as "confusion," "fatigue," and "tension-anxiety."
