| Summary |
The POLA Research Institute of Beauty & Culture was established in 1976 to engage in research into beauty and, in particular, multifaceted investigations into “cosmetic culture” through the lenses of humanities and the social sciences. The Institute conducts research into the lifestyles and makeup-related attitudes/behavior of contemporary women and makes the reports of such research publicly available through the POLA Cosmetic Culture Information Center and its website. This is a fixed-point survey on cosmetics that began in 2007. It is positioned as a fundamental survey for the POLA Research Institute of Beauty & Culture. In 2010, the institute conducted a single survey on both skincare and makeup and released them in a skincare and makeup volume. This survey continues from the previous year’s survey in gathering information from 1,500 women on the state of and attitudes toward their skincare and makeup practices, and their beauty behaviors. It also investigates and analyzes in detail the state of skin irritation and measures against it, and purchasing channels for and purchases of cosmetics, among other topics. |
