Are unscented and preservative cosmetics less irritating to the skin?

When advertising the stability of natural cosmetics and cosmetics, it is easy to think that colorless, unscented, and non-preservative products from cosmetics companies will be less irritating due to low fragrance and pigment.

It’s not necessarily.

When you make a cosmetic product, you mix water-soluble and fat-soluble ingredients

Mix and use emulsifier as a surfactant.But these ingredients smell bad without spices, so I can’t use them.In general, we add “scent” to get rid of that “scent.”The ‘scent’ that you put in cosmetics is a flavoring agent.

However, most of them choose cosmetics because they say they have a good scent. Then, is it possible to catch the bad smell of surfactants in natural ingredients as much as possible? However, due to the distribution structure of cosmetics, the unit price of manufacturing and development has increased so much that it is difficult to be selected by consumers and it is difficult to do business with intermediate distributors. K-beauty has already been recognized as a cosmetics product, so it has a big impact on exports, but considering the margins of local distributors and importers, we have no choice but to use cheap chemicals for the above manufacturing. But “Skin Watchers” CEO Jong-Hwan Yoon

It’s against this structure. It has already been manufacturing and distributing directly for more than 10 years, and the content of natural materials is much higher than that of any other product. For tea tree series products, more than 70% of natural ingredients are added to make the basic effect feel hypoallergenic.However, in order to be competitive in price, we do not do packaging materials or other marketing at all. So it can be the best product for consumers to choose from.User repurchase is close to 100 percent. Even famous celebrities who used to rely heavily on makeup for their skin troubles, various supplements, and functionality use this product (Skin Watchers) and prefer it.Current broadcaster, singer, talent, actor male.It is used by girls, and Elle magazine in Europe introduced this brand as a popular product. In Japan, it is imported from a public distributor (Don Quijote) and sold to the public.

If you look at the revision of the Cosmetics Act below, the Enforcement Rules of the Cosmetics Act of December 31, 2018

It should be partially revised and applied from January 1, 2020.

As of January 1, 2020, the Enforcement Rule of the Cosmetics Act was announced 4. It has been partially revised from the standard and method of displaying cosmetics packaging.The flavouring agent may be marked as ‘flavored’.

However, the head of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety may recommend that the name of the ingredient be indicated and indicated if the ingredient contains an allergy-inducing substance.

The flavouring agent may be marked as ‘flavored’.However, if there are any allergens determined and notified by the Minister of Food and Drug Safety among the components of the flavouring agent, they cannot be marked as spices, and the name of the ingredient must be stated and marked.If you look at the above,

If any of the fragrance components are known as allergens, the indicator has been changed from Recommended to Displayed.

For products produced from January 1, 2020, identify the content of fragrance allergies

The part that should be marked should be marked.marked on cosmetics

Indication of fragrance-free and preservative minimizes any potentially problematic scents or preservative components

This means that the risk of allergies has been reduced, not that there are no related ingredients.Just because there’s no scent doesn’t mean there’s no irritation at all.

We should not be misled by various cosmetic advertisements
