Purpose: Here, we evaluated the safety and effectiveness of Jeonnam's unique resources, such as Dendropanax, sea salt, spinach, and kelp, to develop functional cosmetics that may alleviate hair loss. Methods: We performed safety tests with these resources, testing for heavy metals and cytotoxicity, and we evaluated their effectiveness as anti-microbial, cell proliferation, and anti-inflammation products. Results: The heavy metals concentration was lower than or in trace levels, as recommended by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety's standard of extracts such as Dendropanax, sea salt, etc. We confirmed cytotoxicity to be safe. In each extract, the concentrations of Dendropanax, sea salt, spinach, and kelp were 0.01 mg/mL, 5 mg/mL, 0.5 mg/mL, 0.5 mg/mL, respectively. Only the Dendropanax extract had microbial effect, with the distilled water extract reaching the highest effect. The cell proliferation increased to 0.5 mg/mL, 5 mg/mL, and 2 mg/mL for Dendropanax, spinach, and kelp with distilled water extract, the anti-inflammation effect increased. Conclusion: We found that Dendropanax, sea salt, spinach, and kelp were safe and effective as functional cosmetic materials to alleviate hair loss symptoms through optimal standardization. We suggest further research to evaluate these cosmetics' functional effects.

“…이러한 시장 변화는 화장품 업계도 예외가 아니어 서 자연과 건강을 접목시킨 친환경 활동의 화장품 브랜드 이미지가 강조되고 있다 (Kim et al, 2016a). 화장품 기업에서의 친환경 활동이란 자연에서 가져온 원료를 사용하거나 (Jeong & Yoo, 2018), 가공과정을 최소화 (Kim et al, 2018)하고, 포장 및 유통, 재순환을 통해 자연의 일부인 인간이 자연과 함께 공생하고 자연을 보호하면 서 소비활동을 하는 일련의 과정을 의미한다 (Kim et al, 2018…”

Influence of a Cosmetic Company's Eco-Friendly Activities on Consumers' Purchase Intention through the Mediating Effects of Perceived Image

Oh¹

2020

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of a cosmetic company's eco-friendly activities on purchase intention for cosmetics through the mediating effects of perceived image. Methods: To accomplish this objective, a literature review and a questionnaire survey were performed. Random sampling was conducted in September 2019 in four cosmetics Seoul and Kyunggi area stores. Out of 400 questionnaires, 308 were analyzed using PASW Statistics by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 19.0 and AMOS 19.0 software. The frequency, reliability, validity were measured and the root mean square error of approximation, root mean square residual, goodness-of-fit index, normed fit index, Tucker-Lewis index, comparative fit index, and Sobel testing were conducted. The Cronbach's alpha value was measured at 0.748 and 0.801. Results: The results of Sobel testing verification for the intermediate path was 3.661 (p<0.05) on basal material affecting customers' purchase intention for cosmetics mediating the effect of perceived image, 2.983 (p<0.05) for the manufacturing process affecting purchase intention for cosmetics mediating the effect of perceived image, 2.010 (p<0.05) for distribution affecting the purchase intention for cosmetics mediating the effect of perceived image, 0.964 (p<0.001) for packaging affecting purchase intention for cosmetics mediating the effect of perceived image, and 0.825 (p<0.001) for recycling affecting the purchase intention for cosmetics mediating the effect of perceived image. Conclusion: Cosmetic companies should persist with their eco-friendly activities for forming their A c c e p t e d perceived image with consumers. It can be helpful to increase their eco-friendly image and to increase customers' purchasing intention for cosmetics.

“…최근 화장품 유해성분에 대한 위험성 문제와 친환경적인 제품 을 선호하는 소비자로 인해 천연 화장품 시장이 세계적으로 증가하 고 있다. 국내에서도 천연화장품 개발이 꾸준히 증가 추세에 있으며 국내산 천연화장품 소재의 효능 (Kim et al, 2018;Hwang et al, 2020)이 검증되어 다양한 제품으로 출시되고 있다. 특히 해외에서 한국 화장품의 구매가 증가하면서 해외 소비자에게 인지도가 높은 국내산 천연물을 소재로 한 화장품 연구도 활발히 진행되고 있다.…”

Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Effects of Ginseng Berry Ethanol Extracts as a Cosmetic Ingredient

Kim¹,

Ko²

2020

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the applicability of ginseng berry in cosmetics. Methods: Ethanol extract of ginseng berry was analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging was used to determine the antioxidant activity, total polyphenol, and flavonoid content. Cell viability (MTT assay) confirmation was conducted to determine the toxicity, while the anti-inflammatory effect was investigated by measuring the inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production. Results: The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were 152±12.4 μg/mL and 50.16±1.48 μg/mL, respectively. DPPH scavenging activity in the extract with a concentration of 0.25 mg/mL increased to 59.21±4.20%, 0.5 mg/mL to 69.27±2.38%, and 1 mg/mL to 89.30±1.25%. Cell viability evaluation showed a survival rate of 80.92±5.77% for 1 mg/mL concentration range for cell viability evaluation-0.125-1 mg/mL. The inhibitory effect of nitric oxide (NO) production through RAW 264.7 cells induced by inflammatory response with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) resulted in an extract concentration of 25.58±3.11 μM (0.25 mg/mL), 13.91±3.86 μM (0.5 mg/mL), and 3.91±1.55 μM (1 mg/mL). The increase in concentration confirms an antiinflammatory effect. Conclusion: Ethanol extract of ginseng berry has excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and can be a functional cosmetic material.
