Analyze The Cosmetic By Using Spectrometer

Raman Spectrometer, Infrared Spectrometer and Near-infrared Spectrometer, had already been treated as important equipment by the R&D companies of cosmetics, body care, and pharmaceuticals. In the development stage, these instruments can provide the data of the functional effects of cosmetic on the skin and the hair. They provide extensive data for researchers to develop a safe and effective product. When these cosmetics, pharmaceuticals applied to the skin, via these instruments, one can understand the influence of these cosmetics to the skin or hair, before / after the cosmetics applies. 

In ACTTR, We Act on Transition and Radiation!

Related applications, primarily concerned with the proliferation of these products are applied to the skin surface after the deposition conditions, or hair oxidation state, in order to understand these products and its effects to hydrate skin, hair tissue , structural changes in fat, protein, and even scattering spectrometer using analysis of the physical state of the surface tissue. Today, with a confocal microscope with Raman Spectroscopy, Infrared Spectroscopy, or Near-infrared Spectroscopy. In the field of cosmetic, body care, and pharmaceutical products, they've makeup trends in instrument. With these new mapping, imaging features, skin or hair structure will present more detailed info in front of the researchers. In addition, more miniaturized instruments that provide researchers outside the analytical precision, to better meet the needs of research by using these spectrometer equipment. 

Cosmetic Scientists are interested in is the reaction of the stratum corneum, because this layer of the skin is to accept cosmetics, body care products, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals first layer of skin. In addition, the lipid as horny and cortex binders and important organization to maintain skin softness and elasticity, of course, also the researcher can not let go of a project, especially with some moisture-related research projects. 

Currently, the use of spectroscopy study of cosmetic products, the measurement of skin and hair, researchers need to consider the following points: 

  • Attenuated total reflection of the skin (ATR, attenuated total reflectance) 
  • Raman Spectroscopy advantage (because it is insensitive to the aqueous solution) in the hydration test 
  • Even poor response in the near-infrared spectroscopy depth, consider that its price advantage 
  • Hair joined the microscope protected or hurt

ACTTR is the most aggressive & the most professional instrument of spectrometer distributoragentreseller, in Taiwan
