Xu Li asked all researchers to stop what they were doing and cooperate with him in conducting experiments.
There were 10 people, including Wang Dalong, who were divided into two groups, one was the experimental group and the other was the control group.
The experimental group all used facial masks and facial cleansers made from oily algae.
The control group used skin care products from six relatively well-known international beauty brands: L'Oréal, Lanco, Estee Lauder, SK, Amore, and Shisendo.
It’s not a problem for male researchers. Anyway, the skin care products for them are all the same, just for the face, which is similar to the Dabao they used to apply in winter.
The female researchers were a little excited. After all, they were all familiar with the skin care products of these beauty brands, and the prices were basically hundreds or even thousands. It was estimated that they would have to spend a month's salary to buy one or two sets of them.<
/p>
This is one of the reasons why high-end beauty brand skin care products can earn a lot of profits domestically and even around the world.
Because these international brands have captured the psychological characteristics of women in their marketing, and have also cooperated with some well-known biotechnologies to develop some unique whitening secrets, which is definitely an irresistible temptation for girls.
Of course, except for the countries of Eagle Sauce and the Black Continent, once this kind of whitening product is promoted, it can easily be labeled as racist. Therefore, many international beauty companies will adjust their marketing plans, or focus on a certain type of product, such as
Sunscreen, water cream, perfume, etc.
The experiment begins.
The first round is an experiment on facial cleanser products
Xu Li asked people in the control group to randomly choose the same brand from six products at the table, but they could not repeat it.
The experimental group used algae facial cleanser.
After the two parties washed their faces with facial cleanser and lay down on the chairs for about a quarter of an hour, Xu Li used the testing equipment to test them one by one and recorded the test results.
Then comes the second round of experiments - facial masks.
However, this laboratory was conducted the next day. Xu Li asked the participants to go back tonight and not use any skin care products except water. They needed to ensure the accuracy of the next experiment to avoid being affected by the results of today's experiment.
Because after using facial cleanser, if you start the experiment without a period of time, the final experimental results will definitely not be so accurate.
Soon the second round of experiments started one after another.
Xu Li asked the participants in the control group to use non-algae facial cleanser to wash their faces and then apply a facial mask, while the experimental group started directly after washing their faces with water.
After forty minutes passed, everyone peeled off the mask and washed the remaining residue off their faces with water.
Xu Li also tested them one by one and conducted toxicology tests separately. At that time, they would also need to be sent to a third-party inspection agency with CMA certification for toxicology testing.
Toxicological testing is a necessary part of the testing of beauty products.
According to the national cosmetics inspection and testing regulations, as long as the company is engaged in the research and development, manufacturing, and sales of beauty products, it must have obtained domestically certified national certification qualifications in the country, otherwise the product will not be put into the market.
After all, the ingredients in cosmetics are complex. Every year, many companies are notified by relevant departments that many products contain excessive bacterial colonies, or excessive heavy metals or irritating ingredients.
Especially in recent years, for products similar to hair dyes, many companies have been found to have excessive levels of carcinogens such as phenylenediamine, meta-aminophenol, and resorcinol.
If used for a long time, the skin will gradually penetrate into the human body through the hair, causing a series of skin diseases, etc., and it is not impossible to increase the risk of cancer.
In less than an hour, the experimental results came out.
"First of all, the toxicological tests of our two products in the two rounds of experiments were very good. There were no carcinogens or excessive heavy metals."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly felt relieved.
Toxicological testing is related to whether the next two skin care products can be put on the market. Once there are quality problems, especially health and safety problems, no matter how good the effect is, they will ultimately be self-destructive. p>
"However, among the facial cleansers in our control group, one is Yasi Blue Dai's facial cleanser, which also contains methylisothiazolinone, and SK contains propyl hydroxybenzoate, both of which have exceeded the standard.
I guess I don’t need to say more about these ingredients.”
After Xu Li finished speaking, the faces of the researchers present changed slightly.
They have all learned the relevant chemical basics and naturally know what these two chemical components are.
The first is methylisothiazolinone, which is a strong allergenic preservative and has a certain risk of cancer.
The second is propyl hydroxybenzoate, which is an ingredient with controversial safety and may cause allergies.
Once the facial cleanser containing these two chemical ingredients is overused for a long time, it may cause allergic reactions in the skin. In severe cases, it may lead to some skin diseases.
"Compared with our products, our facial cleanser does not contain these messy ingredients. At most, it is culture medium, water, and amino acids. The main role is still Oleomyces oleospermum. The technology is that there are no other risky chemical ingredients."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
"Okay, we also measured the amount of skin oil 20 minutes before and after washing the face. Our product's oil removal rate is 12% higher than these high-end brands;
In addition, in terms of water loss rate, the water loss rate of our facial cleanser is about 20% higher than that of the control group... There is also a facial mask, the effect is also much better..." p>
Xu Li took the high-end test report in his hand and roughly summarized it.
After hearing this, Wang Dalong asked impatiently: "Boss, can we sell this thing?"
Xu Li glanced at him: "Yes, yes, but there are two problems. One is that we still need to send our products to a third-party authoritative testing agency to obtain CMA certification, otherwise we cannot sell them domestically.
Of course, if it is an overseas market, you also need to apply for CPSR or FDA testing and certification, but we will explore it domestically first before talking about overseas markets."
"What about the second question?" Wang Dalong seemed to understand that this matter cannot be rushed, and the necessary procedures must be followed.
“We don’t have a production line for beauty products, how should we solve this problem?”
Now Xu Li hit the point.
At present, Suiren Technology does not have a production line for cosmetic products, but Shennong Pharmaceutical's production line is for the production of drugs. We cannot stop selling drugs and launch all cosmetic products, right?
Wang Dalong frowned, and then said: "I have a suggestion. Maybe we can establish our own independent makeup brand for Suiren. According to our products, as long as we don't make a splash, we can definitely occupy a place in the makeup industry!" p>
Xu Li's eyes lit up.
This is not impossible.
But then he thought of a question.
"It's just that our company has no experience in the cosmetics industry. We need to find someone who knows the industry, otherwise we will easily suffer big losses."
After all, the cosmetics industry is a deep water pit. He only knows a few daily brands. The facial cleanser he used before was Pang's, the moisturizer he basically used was aloe vera gel, and he had never used any other skin care products.
Don’t know much about it.
Wang Dalong chuckled: "Boss, that's fine for you. I happen to have a friend who happens to be a manager in this area. She has not been having a good time in other companies recently. I can poach her here to take a look."<
/p>
Xu Li raised his eyebrows, "In this case, the job of poaching will be left to you, but the person you find must be reliable."
"Of course."
Wang Dalong agreed, then took away two boxes of facial masks and left the laboratory.
