The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of product selection of hospital workers cosmeceutical cosmetics on marketing communication among hospital workers who use cosmeceutical cosmetics that have emerged in line with the recent growing medical skin care field.Coping with complaints from consumers who buy cosmeceutical cosmetics in hospitals where cosmeceutical cosmetics are mainly used and sold, and minimizing the influence of negative issues will potentially strengthen consumer relationships. The study was conducted on 520 hospital workers who use cosmeceutical cosmetics in hospitals (dermatology, plastic surgery, women's clinic, and other hospitals) in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon. A total of 502 questionnaires were used for the final analysis. The data analysis consisted of Cronbach's alpha, one-way ANOVA, exploratory factor analysis and Duncan test. Correlation analysis was performed to investigate the correlation between variables, and regression analysis was conducted to test hypotheses. The study results revealed that when choosing cosmetic cosmetics, marketing communication is influential. Especially, product value, quality, and price factors strongly affect marketing communication. This shows that we value the product and quality the most and we want a reasonable price. Considering this, we will pursue differentiated products only from cosmeceutical cosmetics and provide them as basic data necessary for securing potential customers and increasing the sales of cosmeceutical cosmetics in accordance with the changing trends.

This study aims to provide basic materials for marketing strategies of cosmeceuticals by investigating customers' recognition and satisfaction about cosmeceuticals targeting 161 adult men and women in their 20s to 50s and living in Seoul, Korea and then analyzing what should be improved for customers. According to the survey, many customers prefer cosmeceuticals due to the professionalism recognized by hospitals, the recommendation by doctors and the scientific image, though the recognition about cosmeceuticals is low among customers in their 40s or older because they are unfamiliar with the term. The survey also shows that the satisfaction about cosmeceuticals is very high in that 94.41% out of 49.85% total users said they were willing to repurchase them, while 72.22% out of 50.15% total nonusers said they wanted to purchase them. The greater knowledge about skin, the higher the interest in cosmetics and the aesthetic practice rate. When it comes to comparing cosmeceutical users and nonusers in choosing cosmetic products, the greater knowledge about skin, more nonusers consider brand recognition (r=.222, p<.05) and cosmetic ingredient (r=.245, p<.005); and more users convenience (r=.162, p<.05). Now that total customers' awareness of cosmeceuticals remains low yet, therefore, it is considered necessary to steadily promote them, enhance repurchase factors, and come up with strategies differentiated from ordinary cosmetics.

Among natural products, the shells of black walnut(Juglans nigra), which are not used commercially and mostly discarded, were examined to investigate the physiological activity and the efficacy for the cosmetic application. DPPH radical scavenging activity of hot water extract of black walnut shells was 76.06% at 300 ㎍/mL. ABTS radical scavenging activity of the extract was 61% at 1000 ㎍/mL, showing excellent antioxidant activity. When the black walnut shell extract was applied to HaCaT cells, a skin keratinocyte, the viability of the cells was 92.6% at 250 ㎍/mL, showing a remarkably low effect on cell viability. At the concentration of 500 ㎍/mL, 67.35% of nitric oxide(NO) production was inhibited. It also showed an inhibitory effect on Hyaluronidase 31 times higher than that of Vitamin C at 100 ㎍/mL concentration. In conclusion, the black walnut shell extract showed high potentials for the cosmeceutical applications, suggesting the possibility of using it as a high value-added natural material in various industries such as food, fragrance, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals.

전 세계는 covid 19의 pandemic 상황이 장기화되면서 화장품 분야의 trend 변화가 일어나고 있다. covid 19의 예방으로 마스크는 생활필수품이 되었고, 행정적으로도 사무공간에서도 마스크를 착용하지 않으면 과태료를 부과하는 상황에 이르렀다. 이로 인하여 장시간 마스크 착용은 필수 불가결한 상황이며, 이로 인하여 얼굴 피부의 장벽기능(barrier function)의 와해로 인하여 피부가 예민해지고 크고 작은 피부의 trouble이 많이 발생하고 있다. 이에 따라 소비자들은 화장품의 선택에 있어 피부 진정과 피부에 자극완화(anti-irritation) 및 안전성(safety)에 대한 것으로 점차적으로 변화하고 있다. Covid 19 이전의 화장품 소재 및 제품 개발의 트렌드는 국내의 기능성화장품 범주에 있는 미백 관련, 주름관련, 자외선 차단관련, 염모관련, 육모 탈모 관련, 여드름관련, 피부장벽관련, 튼살 관련 기능성 소재 및 제품 개발과 화장품 용도외의 고기능성 부여를 위한 코스메슈티컬(cosmeceutical)용 제품의 개발이 중요한 시기였다. 코스메슈티컬(cosmeceutical)은 화장품(cosmetic)과 의약품(pharmaceutical)의 합성어이다. 그러나 최근 Covid 19의 상황에 따라 화장품 업계는 포스트 코로나의 트렌드로 피부 장벽기능 강화, 피부노화 억제, 식물성, 자극완화, 비건, 안전성 확보에 대한 다양한 천연 소재의 연구와 제품을 개발 출시하고 있다. 따라서, 2020년 Covid 19의 상황에 따른 화장품 분야의 천연 신소재 및 화장품 개발 방향에 대하여 자원 식물의 활용성 및 개발 동향에 대하여 논의 하고자한다.

This study was carried out to identify the anti-inflammatory effects of Ishige foliacea (I. foliacea) extract on skin using RAW 264.7 cells. The anti-inflammatory effects of I. foliacea extract on RAW 264.7 cells were assessed by cell viability assay, mRNA expressions, and nitric oxide (NO)/prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) productions. The anti-inflammatory effects of I. foliacea extract were elucidated by analysis of IL-1α/IL-1β/IL-6/TNFα gene expressions and PGE₂/NO production. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction showed that I. foliacea extract decreased the gene expression levels of iNOS/COX2/IL-1α/IL-1β and IL-6. Furthermore, PGE₂/NO production also revealed that I. foliacea extract exhibited anti-inflammatory properties. These results suggest that I. foliacea extract is an anti-inflammatory compound. It could be a potent cosmeceutical material for anti-inflammatory effects. Further studies on the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of broadleaf extracts are expected to help identify pharmacological mechanisms related to inflammation in addition to cosmeceuticals.
