Objective:
The objective of this study is to propose a method for assessing the antiwear-ability (AW) or surface scratch-resistance (SR) efficacy of makeup products through in vitro experiments.
Materials And Method:
The method primarily involves measuring the change in weight as a means of evaluating the overall effectiveness. AW/SR effects are evaluated by applying a fixed amount of makeup product on artificial fake skin and comparing the weight difference after simulated friction/scratch.
Results:
The in vitro results indicate that this method is easy to operate and yields repeatable data. It consistently reflects differences between samples when compared to clinical studies.
Conclusions:
This method effectively compares the AW/SR effects of makeup products and demonstrates utility in evaluating product efficacy and difference. It holds great scientific and practical value.
