Shizuoka — Skin Longevity Zone

Shizuoka is a Skin Longevity Zone for evenness: resident skin in our research kept uniform tone, an intact barrier and long-term tolerance more consistently than almost any region we measured. Radiance that lasts is its signature.

Shizuoka is the collection's radiance-and-evenness zone, connected to seven botanicals: yuzu, ume, rosehip, Japanese maple leaf, lemon balm, peach, and angelica root. Together they support luminosity, tone evenness, and skin comfort.

Yuzu (Citrus junos) extract comes from a citrus fruit native to Japan, rich in vitamin C and flavonoids. It helps protect skin from the visible effects of oxidative stress, supports radiance, and helps even the complexion for a fresher, more vital look.

Ume extract, from the Japanese plum, is traditionally valued for antioxidant and revitalizing properties. It helps protect skin from oxidative stress, supports a healthy, radiant appearance, and its toning action contributes a feeling of freshness and well-being.

Rosehip oil (Rosa canina) is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins A and E. It nourishes skin, helps improve elasticity, and supports a smooth, even appearance, making it ideal for dry, dull, or marked skin seeking comfort and natural glow.

Acer palmatum leaf extract, from the Japanese maple, is a botanical rich in polyphenols and natural antioxidants. It helps defend skin from oxidative stress, supports elasticity and comfort, and helps preserve a smooth, even, luminous appearance.

Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) leaf extract is a soothing, rebalancing botanical rich in polyphenols. It helps improve skin comfort and reduce the visibility of stress-related signs, making it ideal for sensitive or redness-prone skin seeking a calmer, more even look.

Yes, Angelica acutiloba root extract is studied for helping visibly reduce the intensity of skin spots and improve complexion evenness. In the ingredient maker's ex-vivo and in-vivo studies, a visible improvement in tone evenness was observed within two months.

Peach extract is an emollient, moisturizing botanical naturally rich in sugars, vitamins, and antioxidants. It helps keep skin soft, smooth, and visibly brighter, and its delicate profile brings comfort and freshness to dry or dull skin.

Shizuoka's seven botanicals sit within the collection's system of 39 zone botanicals paired with 67 functional actives, in formulas that are clinically and dermatologically tested. They carry the zone's radiance-and-evenness signature across the refillable collection.

Shizuoka-zone ingredients suit dull, uneven, dry, and sensitive skin. Yuzu, ume, and angelica focus on radiance and evenness, rosehip and peach comfort dry or marked skin, and lemon balm calms complexions prone to visible stress.
