Description

EWG Grade Guiding System for Cosmetic Ingredients, Cosmetic Ingredients Including EWG Grade and Cosmetic Package with All Cosmetic Ingredients Including EWG Grade ON PRODUCT PACKAGING INCLUDING EWG RATING AND DESIGNATION METHOD FOR COMPONENTS OF COSMETIC PACKAGE AND COSMETIC PACKAGE DESIGNATED COSMETIC COMPONENTS INCLUDING EWG RATING}

The present invention relates to a grade guiding system, a notation method and a package, and more particularly, to automatically classify information related to the stability of various cosmetic raw materials so that consumers can easily identify it based on the EWG (Environmental Working Group) SKIN DEEP grade. The present invention relates to an EWG grade guiding system of cosmetic ingredients that can satisfy individual tastes and reliability of the use of cosmetics, a method of notifying all ingredients of a cosmetic package including an EWG grade, and a cosmetic package including all cosmetic ingredients including an EWG grade.

In general, cosmetics means an article used for the human body to clean the human body and change the appearance brightly through aesthetic management, or to maintain and promote the health of the skin.

The main target audience for the use of cosmetics can be said to be women, but in recent years, products that are exclusively for men are also becoming more common. On the other hand, cosmetics are very diverse, and for example, shampoo and soap are also a kind of cosmetics.

Since these cosmetics are distributed directly on the human skin and perform various functions, it is necessary to pay attention to the use of cosmetics by individuals with different skin types. Recently, skin diseases such as atopy are frequently caused by environmental hormones and environmental pollution. In some cases, there is a hypersensitivity reaction to certain components of cosmetics, which requires more careful use.

However, consumers can not only know exactly the ingredients that cause various rejection reactions or hypersensitivity reactions to themselves or their families, and because the display form may be different for each cosmetic product, it is necessary to accurately investigate all ingredients constituting the product to determine whether they are suitable for constitution. It is very difficult to judge.

In addition, even if the consumer knows the ingredients to be avoided by himself or his family, it is very cumbersome and difficult to identify each ingredient listed in the case or packing box in small letters every time it is purchased. In this regard, the development of technology that can improve the convenience of the consumer is insignificant.

EWG (Environmental Working Group) SKIN DEEP rating means that the US non-profit environmental organization, EWG, analyzes the results of each cosmetic raw material, and classifies the stability in 10 steps according to the existence of the data on the harmfulness of the study. it means.

Hazard criteria according to the EWG class mean low hazards of grades 0 to 2, grades 3 to 6 are classified as moderate hazards, and grades 7 to 10 are classified as high hazards. Referring to FIGS. 1B and 1C, the data is divided into five data score keys as below based on the accumulated data even within the stability class.

1) Data: None

2) Data: Limited

3) Data: Fair (somewhat)

4) Data: Good

5) Data: Robust

The data score key is the reliability level of the provided information. The more green (closer to Robust) the more accurate information is, the more red (closer to None), the less reliable information. For example, arginine is green 1 Grade, glycerin is green, grade 2, tocopheryl acetate is orange grade 3, methylchloroisothiazolinone (CMIT) is orange grade 6, and methylisothiazolinone (MIT) is grade 7 red. Many cosmetics have been released under the name of “Green Grade” so that consumers can easily check the stability of cosmetic ingredients using the EWG grade.

Figure 4 is a flow chart illustrating a method of notifying all ingredients of a cosmetic package including the EWG grade.

On the other hand, the entire component notation method of the cosmetic package including the EWG grade using the system according to the present invention basically comprises an EWG grade granting step, a design file production step, a design file transmission step, a design printing step.

More specifically, the present invention synthesizes the EWG grade granting step that the EWG grade guiding server grants the EWG grade to at least one cosmetic ingredient, and the EWG grade assigned to the cosmetic ingredients by the EWG grade guiding server together with the cosmetic ingredients. A design file production step of producing a design file, a design file transmission step of transmitting the design file to the manufacturer terminal by the EWG grade guiding server, and a design printing step of applying the design file to the cosmetic package printing.

In the EWG grade granting step, the EWG grade is automatically guided to the cosmetic ingredients to transmit the synthesized display of the cosmetic ingredients and the EWG grade to the consumer terminal, the manufacturer terminal, and the like.

In the design file manufacturing step, for example, the EWG grade guiding server may assign an EWG grade to each cosmetic ingredient, and then synthesize a cosmetic ingredient and an EWG grade to generate a printable design file on the cosmetic package.

In the design file transmission step, the EWG grade guiding server transmits the design file to the manufacturer's terminal. In the design printing step, the cosmetic file including the EWG grade is finally printed by printing the design file on a package such as a cosmetic container or a cosmetic box. It is possible to manufacture cosmetic packages marked with minutes.

In addition, the present invention includes a step of providing a description for the EWG grade guiding server provides a description of the cosmetic component when the consumer terminal, the manufacturer terminal, etc. request the cosmetic component information that consumers, manufacturers, other third parties wonder Explanatory data on cosmetic ingredients can be automatically provided. For example, the content of the explanatory data includes not only the EWG rating information but also cosmetic ingredient information registered on the EWG official site (total hazard, cancer-causing risk, growth and genital toxicity). And graphs, precautions, ingredient summary information, chemical formulas, etc. related to allergy and immune disease induction, or information that can be scraped online such as various blogs and papers.

In addition, the present invention may further include a cosmetic component recognition step for the EWG grade guiding server to recognize the image, QR code, etc. containing the cosmetic component information transmitted by the consumer terminal, manufacturer terminal, etc., such cosmetic component recognition When the consumer terminal or the manufacturer terminal transmits the cosmetic component information to the EWG guiding server in the step, the description providing step transmits the description of the cosmetic component to the consumer terminal or manufacturer terminal.

In the cosmetic ingredient recognition step, the cosmetic ingredient information of interest to consumers, manufacturers, and third parties is displayed mostly in places such as cosmetic cases and packaging boxes, and cosmetic ingredient information is displayed on the display area of the package by text or QR code. And extracts the cosmetic ingredient indicated by text or QR code through a consumer or manufacturer terminal such as a smartphone and transmits it to the EWG grade guiding server automatically and conveniently recognizes the cosmetic ingredient and sends the cosmetic ingredient information to the consumer terminal. In response, the description providing module of the EWG grade guiding server transmits the description of the cosmetic ingredient together with the EWG grade to the consumer or manufacturer terminal.

In the above description with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention has been described with reference to specific shapes and directions, but the present invention can be variously modified and changed by those skilled in the art, and such variations and modifications are included in the scope of the present invention. Should be interpreted as
