エスキュー List of Products and Services

We provide a "sales support service for cosmetics using skin diagnostic machines" aimed at manufacturers of skincare products. Based on beauty theories, we have been able to assist with various promotional support strategies using skin diagnostic machines, from products for sensitive skin to cosmetics tailored to specific needs. We support a series of processes from the provision of new ideas and concepts using skin diagnostic machines to testing and market launch. 【Case Studies (Excerpt)】 - Developed an algorithm for "automatic foundation shade selection technology" that helps inexperienced sales staff measure customers' skin and easily choose suitable foundations. - "Potential Finder" that diagnoses skin potential by type. - "Skin Softness Measurement Sensor" that measures skin stress and quantifies skin elasticity and firmness. - Support for the development and introduction of the skin diagnostic service "Personal Skin Check." 【Features】 ■ Proposal of product development and services based on beauty theories. ■ Support for new sales strategies using skin diagnostic machines. ■ Proven track record based on numerous case studies. *For more details, please refer to the materials. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

• Product Development

The following is an example: With the brand renewal of company O, a cosmetics company, we received a request to develop a quantification and measurement algorithm for the function of a new skin diagnosis device that will be introduced, specifically to measure the "plump skin sensation." Simply measuring the skin's stress levels was not sufficient, as skin that has not been cared for at all exhibited higher stress levels, making it difficult to express the "plump skin sensation." Therefore, by obtaining multiple parameters we considered, and repeatedly conducting "hypothesis and verification" while focusing on the raw data, we were able to achieve the development of an algorithm that produces results aligned with the sensibilities of sales staff, which is very important for a skin diagnosis device used in sales settings. This can also be utilized for research and development, planning, and design of cosmetics, as well as for product testing and quality control. For example: ■ We want to customize the skin diagnosis device. ■ We want to develop measurement and analysis equipment for laboratories. ■ We want to incorporate skin measurement technology into applications or existing measurement devices. We can respond to such requests. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

At Esquiu, we have a "Foundation Color Number Automatic Selection Technology" that not only measures skin condition but also analyzes the reflected light from the skin's surface to automatically select the appropriate foundation color number. During the development phase, we found that because human vision is an exceptionally capable sensor, relying solely on sensor output to automatically select the foundation color number often resulted in discrepancies (cases where the selected color number differed from the store staff's image). In such cases, we developed an algorithm using advanced mathematical techniques that would elicit responses from staff using the sensors in the field like, "Yes! That's exactly it!" Cosmetic manufacturers can also utilize this technology for research related to skin-related cosmetics and quality testing of products under development. For example, we can respond to requests such as: ■ Customizing skin diagnosis machines ■ Developing measurement and analysis equipment for laboratories ■ Integrating skin measurement technology into applications or existing measurement devices *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

The skin condition analysis technology of Esquiu can quantify the area and intensity of spots through "image analysis technology" and "spot × whitening degree analysis technology," making it possible to quantify the whitening degree from captured images. Using "accurate measurement technology" such as quality control inspection systems used in factories, we conduct skin examination, measurement, and analysis, enabling the quantification of skin condition as numerical data. For cosmetic manufacturers and OEM manufacturers, we can customize our technology and develop algorithms according to the purposes and applications of research, planning, and design. For example, we can respond to requests such as: ■ Customizing skin diagnostic devices ■ Developing measurement and analysis equipment for research laboratories ■ Integrating skin measurement technology into applications or existing measurement devices *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

• Other analysis software

Using a small high-resolution CCD camera module, we can quantify the area and intensity of pores, fine lines, and blemishes through our "Image Analysis Technology" and "Acne and Comedone Analysis Technology." This allows for the analysis of the quantity, size, and shape of pores from captured images. By employing "accurate measurement technology" used in quality control inspection systems in factories, we conduct skin examinations, measurements, and analyses, enabling us to quantify skin conditions as numerical values. For cosmetic manufacturers and OEM manufacturers, we offer customization of our technology and algorithm development tailored to research, planning, and design purposes. For example, we can respond to requests such as: - Customizing skin diagnostic devices - Developing measurement and analysis equipment for research laboratories - Integrating skin measurement technology into applications or existing measurement devices *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

• Other analysis software

The amount of sebum on the skin is measured using the refractive index of light. A blue LED is illuminated from inside the measurement probe that is in contact with the skin, and it is projected onto the skin through a glass window. The light that is absorbed and refracted by the skin returns through the glass window to the receiving unit, and the amount of reflected light is calculated to measure the amount of sebum on the skin's surface. The products we handle are based on "technologies for accurate measurement," represented by systems such as the factory's "quality control inspection system." They can also be used for research and development, planning, and design of cosmetics, as well as for product testing and quality control. For example, ■ We can customize skin diagnostic devices. ■ We can develop measurement and analysis equipment for laboratories. ■ We can integrate skin measurement technology into applications or existing measurement devices. We can respond to such requests. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

The moisture content of the skin is measured using electrical conductivity. By innovating the electrode arrangement, we have made it possible to distinguish between the current values in the surface layer and those in the subcutaneous cell layer, allowing for simultaneous measurement of each moisture content. In actual skin, when there is no sweating, the electrical resistivity is high, and it typically shows quite complex conductivity as one moves from the surface to the interior. However, thanks to our unique technology, we have achieved the ability to measure not only the surface of the skin but also the deeper layers simultaneously. The products we handle are based on "accurate measurement technology," represented by systems such as the factory's "quality control inspection system." Therefore, they can also be utilized for research and development, planning, and design of cosmetics, as well as for product testing and quality control. ■ If you would like to customize a skin diagnostic device ■ If you want to develop measurement and analysis equipment for laboratories ■ If you wish to incorporate skin measurement technology into applications or existing measurement devices please feel free to contact us. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.
