What are the applications of color readers in the cosmetics industry?

Whether in the past, the present or even the future, human beings will never stop their pursuit of beauty. There are many aspects of beauty, whether it is internal or external, and the most intuitive external beauty is reflected in personal clothing, hairstyles, and appearance. For the beauty of appearance, the most practical thing is the art of makeup. This has caused fierce competition in the cosmetics industry, and the quality of cosmetics directly affects the consumption results. The Colorimeter plays a very important role in the control of color quality in the cosmetic industry.

What is the application of the Colorimeter in the cosmetics industry?  Picture 1

The early cosmetics industry was not well prepared for the problems faced by the color era, and suffered a lot from color management. It can be said that many companies should restrict their development due to the bottleneck of color management. But now the color detection and control equipment and software are very complete. In cosmetics, color control, determination and ensuring color uniformity between batches will no longer consume a lot of manpower, material resources and time as before. Cosmetics on the market today can be said to emerge in an endless stream, no matter in shape, form or type. Solid, powder, paste, liquid, etc., if you want to use the same Colorimeter to measure, it puts forward very important requirements in terms of technology and function. We know that there are many small parts inside the precision instrument such as the Colorimeter, moisture and water vapor may cause damage to the internal parts, so paste objects and liquids cannot be directly measured. In addition, the shape of the powder is irregular, and some solid cosmetics will also fade. Pollution caliber Therefore, there are many details and methods to pay attention to when measuring cosmetics.


Most cosmetic colors are produced by the reflection of light, such as eye shadow, lipstick, nail polish, etc. When white light hits the surface of the product, the pigment in the cosmetics will absorb the color light of the corresponding wavelength in the white light and emit the remaining color light. When the remaining color light enters the eyes, it will stimulate the corresponding optic nerve, and we will produce the corresponding color perception. For the detection of such products, the reflection measurement position of the Spectrophotometer should be selected for detection. During the measurement, the light emitted by the light source of the instrument is scattered by the integrating sphere for many times, and then irradiates the surface of the sample to be tested. The light reflected from the surface of the sample is received by the receiver of the instrument, and the corresponding optical signal is generated and converted into an electrical signal. The color is obtained by computer processing. data.


The above are some introductions of the author on the application of Colorimeters in the cosmetics industry, hoping to provide some references for users in related industries.
