| Summary |
The POLA Research Institute 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 females and makes the reports of such research publicly available through the POLA Cosmetic Culture Centre and its website. This survey, which started in 2007, is a fixed-point survey on makeup and is the POLA Research Institute's fundamental survey. In a continuation of the previous year's survey, this survey targets 1,500 females, delineating their situation regarding awareness of skincare and makeup and their beauty-related behavior. It also conducts a detailed investigation and analysis of skin irritation and countermeasures and examines their situation regarding cosmetic purchase channels, purchases, etc. |
