SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING OIL FROM INDICATORS IN COSMETICS {SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROVIDING OIL AND WATER INDEX IN COSMETIC}

The present invention relates to a system and method for providing an oil and water index of cosmetics, and more particularly, to a system and method for providing a content ratio of an oily component and an aqueous component in a cosmetic including an emulsifier.

In general, cosmetics is a product used to the human body to clean and beautify the human body to add charm and brighten the appearance, or to maintain or promote the health of the skin and hair, it refers to a slight action on the human body. Cosmetics include basic cosmetics such as various lotions and creams to beautify the human body and preserve skin health, powder powder, solid powder, cream powder, foundation, lip balm, eyebrow pencil, mizo Makeup cosmetics such as cosmetics, hair lotions, hair tonics, liquid and oil-based hairdressing agents, hair cosmetics such as hair creams, hair treatment creams, shampoos, hair sprays, and the like, for the preservation and beauty of hair.

On the other hand, cosmetics are composed of various components, but those skilled in the art generally classify these components into oily components, aqueous components, surfactants, and other components that are difficult to distinguish them. The reason for this distinction is that in the manufacturing method of cosmetics, cosmetics are prepared by mixing oil phase and water phase in various ways and reversibly stirring or reacting oil and water components as respective phases. Because. There is no clear standard for the classification of oily and aqueous components in cosmetics, but raw materials companies develop products by discriminating whether it is appropriate to mix and react in the oil phase or to mix and react in the water phase from the raw material development stage. In addition, the component for mixing such an oil phase and an aqueous phase is called surfactant (emulsifier). Surfactant is a kind of emulsifier which mixes oily component and aqueous component which are not mixed with each other in a stable state.

Conventionally, the classification of cosmetics to help consumers' choice has been classified into oily, dry and complex corresponding to skin types. However, this classification is simply proposed by the cosmetic company according to the skin type of the consumer, not technically related to the characteristics of the product, but is subjectively proposed by the developers of the cosmetic company. Some people prefer a product that does not belong to the same category and is dry, but has a lot of oil and forms an oil film on the skin. On the other hand, some people do not like cosmetics that lack water but have too much oil. However, it is almost impossible for these people to see only the product name or skin type suggestion before trying the product and to select the product they want.

The present invention provides a system and method for calculating the content ratio of an oily component and an aqueous component using components and contents of a cosmetic and providing the calculated content ratio as an oil content indicator.

According to the present invention, the oil-in-water index providing system of the cosmetic including an emulsifier, the component classification information for classifying the oil component and the aqueous component for each component and the oil and water index information for forming the oil and moisture index by the content ratio of the oil component and the aqueous component Storage unit for storing; A component content information providing unit operable to provide component content information about the component and the content of the cosmetic; And a processor operative to calculate a content ratio of the cosmetic using the component classification information corresponding to the component content information and to form the oil and moisture indicator of the cosmetic using the oil and moisture indicator information corresponding to the calculated content ratio. do.

In addition, according to the present invention, a method for providing an oil and moisture index of a cosmetic including an emulsifier includes: a) ingredient classification information for classifying an oil component and an aqueous component for each component, and for forming an oil moisture indicator for each content ratio of an oil component and an aqueous component. Providing a storage unit for storing oil and moisture indicator information; b) providing ingredient information about the composition and content of the cosmetic; c) calculating the content ratio of the cosmetic using the component classification information corresponding to the component content information; And d) forming the oil and moisture index of the cosmetic using the oil and moisture index information corresponding to the calculated content ratio.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide the oil and moisture indicator of the cosmetic using the ingredients and the content of the cosmetic, the user can select the oil-based or aqueous type of cosmetic using the oil and moisture indicator according to the seasonal influence, personal taste and user age. have. In particular, the user may select a more moist aqueous type cosmetics in summer using the oil and moisture indicator, and may select a slightly thick oily type cosmetics in winter.

In addition, 30 test subjects were asked to use the product along with the description of the oil and water index according to the present invention, and then satisfied with whether the oil and water index are well matched, as shown in Table 1 below. As described above, most of the test subjects answered that the total number of the test subjects (A to F products) had a low half-life with respect to the oil and water index according to the present invention (bottom2), and 90% to 100% of the test subjects According to the oil content indicator according to the negative image was less (top3), 65% to 90% of the test subjects answered that the oil content indicator and the product according to the present invention (top2). Through this, the consumer was able to confirm that the user can easily and accurately select the desired product by using the oil and water index according to the present invention.
