Sensory Evaluation of Skin Care Cosmetics and Measurement of Applied Movement

―Sharing of “Feeling on Use”―

Abstract

Comfortable “feeling on use” is important for skin care cosmetics. Therefore, it is important to perform sensory evaluation and share “feeling on use”. However, there are individual differences in human senses, and it is not easy to share “feeling on use”. So, we tried to create a sensory evaluation manual and the evaluation standards, and share “feeling on use”. When we measured the application movement of cosmetics using wearable contact force sensor system, the application movement of a beauty professional had a higher finger contact force and a constant speed and rhythm compared with those of general women. This sensor is considered to be effective for the analysis of various touching movements.
