※2 Comparison with Our Products
Shiseido’s Proprietary “Fluid Crystallization Inhibition Technology” Enables High-Concentration Formulation
Glycylglycine is known to deliver greater skin benefits when formulated at higher concentrations; however, increasing its concentration can lead to crystallization of the ingredient. When crystallization occurs on the skin, optimal efficacy cannot be achieved, and the sensory experience may also be compromised.
To pursue higher concentrations, Shiseido focused on ionic liquids that surpass conventional solubility limits and developed its proprietary Fluid Crystallization Inhibition Technology. This technology prevents crystallization even on the skin, ensuring that the ingredient is delivered effectively. As a result, it provides intensive texture- and pore-focused care as part of daily skincare.
