모든 생명체는 나이를 먹으면서 노화해간다. 이러한 노화를 방지해 보려는 인간의 꿈은 노화의 본질이 무엇인지와 노화는 왜 일어나는지에 대한 의문 등을 끊임없이 제기하고 있다. 이런 노력들은 단순히 수명을 연장하기 위해서라기 보다는 살아있는 동안만이라도 젊음을 유지하고자 하는 욕망에서 비롯한 것일 것이다. 노화의 과장은 우리몸의 눈, 뇌, 심장등 구성기관 모두에서 나이를 먹으면서 일어나고 있다. 피부도 마찬가지여서 나이에 따라 어쩔 수 없이 노화해 간다. 즉 각질형성세포, 멜라닌세포, 땀샘들의 기능이 점차 떨어져 간다. 어린이들의 터질듯한 팽창력과 유연성을 가진 피부가 어느덧 청소년기의 매끄럽고 윤기가 흐르던 시절을 지나 성년기에 이르면 거칠고 메마른 상태가 되며, 그 후 주름이 지고 탄력성이 소실되는 노화 피부상태에 도달하게 된다. 피부, 눈, 신경 등 생체 노화과정의 생리적 규명이 현재 의학의 한 첨단분야로 등장하고 있으며, 피부노화에 대해서도 많은 연구가 진행중이다.

Pearlescent pigments have been widely used in cosmetic applications. Up to date; the most widely used pearl effect pigment is the mica-based pigment, which uses natural mica as the substrate that is in turn coated with metal of oxide interference layer. However, when natural mica is employed as a base material the final product often has a yellowish color, mainly due to the fact that natural mica contains low levels of iron as an impurity[1,2]. This study was focused on developing a pearl pigment which might have a similar sparkling effect as snow. This effect was found to be due to its structure and purity, and this concept was also applied to development of our pearl pigments. More specifically, this invented pearl effect pigments are the mixture of glass-flake and glass-flake coated metal oxides and present the optical properties of snow matrix such as refractive index and particle size, unlike only the glass-flake or glass-flake coated metal oxides to be applied in. Using base material having similar physical properties (refractive index and particle size) as snow matrix as platelet for pearl effect pigments, these invented pigments present a three-dimensional glittering effect of the snow matrix. With this invented figments an applied; we achieved the beauty of snow crystal from makeup products containing these pigments.

최근 제품개발의 동향은 소비자 각각의 특성에 맞춘 "맞춤 컨셉"을 가진 제품 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다는 점이다. 특히 그 어떤 제품보다도 소비자가 사용 시 느끼는 관능특성과 그에 대한 만족도가 중요시되는 화장품의 경우는 더욱 그러하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이미 대중화 된 베이스 메이크업과 립 메이크업 외에 최근 소비자들의 관심이 증가하고 있는 마스카라를 대상으로 한국 여성들에게 맞는 마스카라의 특성을 파악하고, 그 관능특성을 분석하여 한국 여성들의 니즈에 맞는 제품을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 한국 여성들의 눈과 속눈썹 모양에 대한 조사에서는 클러스터 분석을 통해 대표적인 눈과 눈썹의 형태를 4가지 그룹으로 나누고, 각 그룹의 특성에 맞는 마스카라의 기능을 제안하였다. 그런 후, 전문패널을 대상으로 여러 기능의 마스카라를 이용해 마스카라의 관능특성을 평가하여 상기의 조사에서 나온 4가지 그룹에 대한 각각의 적합한 사용감을 제안하였다. 본 결과는 차후 소비자 특성에 맞는 마스카라 제품 개발 시 활용될 것이다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the change of soft contact lens parameters after eyeliner deposition and compare the cleaning efficiency and the recovery rate of lens parameters by different cleaning methods. Methods: The eyeliner was deposited on three types of soft contact lenses made of different materials for 1 hour, 4 hours and 6 hours and those lenses were washed by the eyeglasses ultrasonic cleaning and by hands. The changes in visible light transmittance, diameter and surface of those lenses were compared before and after cleaning of the lens. Results: The visible light transmittance of soft contact lenses decreased along with the deposition time of eyeliner. The patterns of the eyeliner deposition on soft contact lens appeared differently depending on the physical properties of the lens material. Thus, the largest eyeliner deposition was found on narafilcon A lens. The diameters of hilafilcon B and etafilcon A lenses were decreased, however, the diameter of narafilcon A lens was increased. The cleaning efficiency of the eyeliner deposition was greater with the multipurpose solution by hands than with the eyeglasses ultrasonic cleaner. However, the recovery of lens parameters such as the lens diameter, visible light transmittance and lens surface due to the eyeliner deposition to its original state was limited. Conclusions: From these results, it is suggested to minimize eye makeup when wearing soft contact lens. Furthermore, the reduced wearing time and shorter cycle of lens replacement may be needed by considering a change of lens parameter when the repeat eye makeup is applied.

In this paper, facial feature areas in user picture are created by facial feature points extracted by ASM(Active Shape Model). In a existing virtual make-up application, users manually select a few features that are exactly. Users are uncomfortable with this method. We propose a virtual makeup application using ASM that does not require user input. In order to express a natural makeup, the modified alpha blendings for each cosmetic are used to blend skin color with cosmetic color. The Virtual makeup application was implemented to apply Foundation, Blush, Lip Stick, Lip Liner, Eye Pencil, Eye Liner and Eye Shadow.

In this study, 1,2-hexanediol, ethylhexylglycerin, and glyceryl caprylate known as skin conditioning agents with antimicrobial activity in cosmetics were investigated for their antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria when combining them with various ingredients in cosmetic formulations. Seven kinds of substances expected to improve the antibacterial activity in formulations were selected to blend with these three compounds.; 1,3-propanediol, 1,3-butanediol, glycerin, dipropylene glycol, niacinamide, EDTA-2Na, and ethanol. The checkerboard assay was conducted to confirm the antibacterial synergy of these seven substances and the three skin conditioning agents. Consequently, ethanol and EDTA-2Na were detected as the significant materials with synergistic effect as well as ethanol showed antibacterial synergy with all the three compounds. When seven of selected materials were mixed with glyceryl caprylate, there were synergistic or additive activity against S. aureus, gram-positive bacteria and it was suggested that the combination with 1,2-hexanediol and glyceryl caprylate was useful to control both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria when there were four kinds of polyols. This study is meaningful in that it confirmed the antibacterial synergy of the skin conditioning agents with antimicrobial activity and the main raw materials frequently used in cosmetics, thereby contributing to prediction of the antibacterial activity of the skin conditioning agents in cosmetic formulations.

As the recent announcement of the functional cosmetics law, the need of studies on efficacy evaluation of skin related cosmetics and medical supplies has grown. Especially to identify skin improvement, we have to compare the exact parts of the skin, however up to now it is compared only by image matching that is appeared to the human eye. This study proposes the automatical image matching system for improving the accuracy of evaluation a skin improvement. Firstly we define the feature of the skin pores and wrinkles, and extract anticipation region from skin images. And then, we calculate moments for each extracted regions and classify them as pores and wrinkles. After that, we calculate the vector by computing centroids between each regions. Through this process, we compare the vector similarities and perform the matching between existing image and reference image. To verify the efficiency of the algorithm several experiments are conducted.

In this study, a test was conducted to examine the effects of micro-needle therapy (MTS) and cosmetics containing spirulina on improving the skin tone, skin hydration, hyper-pigmentation, and fine lines of middle-aged women in their 40s and 50s and to propose an effective skin care method. The subjects were divided into a control group of eight people who used serum and cream mask that does not contain MTS and spirulina, and an experimental group who used serum and cream containing MTS and spirulina. The test was conducted with six 30-minute sessions for one week. The change in skin was measured over three times in the week of the test, after six weeks of the test, and two weeks after the test had finished. The result showed that after six weeks of the test, in the experimental group, the skin tone (color brightness, saturation brightness, skin brightness) and moisture showed a significant increase (p<0.05), while the number of small hyper-pigmentation and large hyper-pigmentation, as well as the length of crow's feet, melanin, erythema showed a significant reduction (p<0.05). No significant differences in fine lines under the eyes and length of crow's feet were observed. Two weeks after the test was finished, the experimental group showed a significant decrease in the length of crow's feet and melanin (p<0.05), and a significant increase in skin brightness and moisture (p<0.05). Even after the test was completed, the skin brightness, fine lines, melanin, and moisture improved continuously. In conclusion, skin care using MTS and cosmetics containing spirulina was more effective on improving the skin tone, hydration, hyper-pigmentation, and fine lines, than skin care without using them.
