What is the ingredient in the cosmetic barcode starting with 697? Analysis of cosmetic ingredients

There are code labels on the packaging of skin care products. Generally, the 690 in front of the skin care products is the country code, and 690-699 are the Chinese codes, which are established by the International Article Numbering Association. Everyone should understand this.

The cosmetic barcode 697 represents the country of the product, which means it is made in China. The cosmetic barcode 6 at the beginning means domestically produced, and 97 plus the following numbers are the product number. Regular products have their own barcode numbers. From the left, the 1st to 3rd digits represent the country code, the 4th to 8th digits represent the manufacturer code, the 9th to 12th digits represent the product's factory code, and the last digit is the check code.

The main raw materials of cosmetics are usually divided into base raw materials, auxiliary raw materials and functional raw materials.

1. Matrix raw materials: They are the main components of cosmetics and dominate the dosage form and properties of cosmetics, such as oil, powder, gum, solvent, etc.

(1) Oily raw materials: They are the basic raw materials for creams, emulsions and other cosmetics, giving cosmetics an oily feel. They are mainly derived from animal and plant oils and their derivatives, as well as natural mineral oil waxes.

(2) Powder raw materials: They are the basic raw materials for powder cosmetics, which play the role of covering, absorbing, toning, filling, etc., and make cosmetics have the effect of modifying, adhering and smoothing the skin. Such as talcum powder, kaolin, bentonite, titanium dioxide, etc.

(3) Gel raw materials: basic raw materials for facial masks and gel-type cosmetics, mostly synthetic or natural high molecular weight water-soluble compounds with film-forming, gelling, thixotropic, thickening and other characteristics, such as polyvinyl alcohol, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, etc.

(4) Surfactants can reduce the surface tension of water and have the functions of cleaning, wetting, dispersing, foaming, emulsifying, and thickening. They are known as industrial MSG.

(5) Moisturizer is one of the essential raw materials in cosmetics. Its function is to prevent the cream from drying out and maintain skin moisture.

2. Auxiliary raw materials: also known as additives, which are substances that determine the shaping, stability, color and fragrance of cosmetics. They are used in small amounts but are very important, such as flavors, pigments, preservatives, antioxidants, chelating agents, etc.

(1) Fragrance: Add fragrance to cosmetics, cover up the smell of other raw materials, and increase product value.

(2) Pigments: pigments and dyes, mainly used in the manufacture of beauty products, colorants in cosmetics, etc.

(3) Preservatives: Inhibit the growth of microorganisms during the shelf life of the cosmetic and during consumer use.

(4) Antioxidants: prevent oil rancidity and discoloration of active ingredients.

3. Functional raw materials: give cosmetics special functions (moisturizing, whitening, sun protection, anti-wrinkle, antiperspirant, deodorant, etc.), the fastest growing and the highest selling point, mainly from plant extracts, bioengineering (hyaluronic acid, EGF), synthetic or semi-synthetic compounds (kojic acid derivatives, various vitamins), etc.

(1) Whitening ingredients: lighten and remove facial skin pigmentation spots (freckles, chloasma, age spots), increase whiteness and plumpness.

(2) Sunscreen ingredients: substances added to sunscreen cosmetics to filter out certain ultraviolet rays and protect the skin from certain harmful effects of radiation.

(3) Anti-wrinkle and anti-aging ingredients: Improve skin aging phenomena such as sagging and wrinkles.

(4) Other raw materials, including dye intermediates for black hair, perm raw materials, antiperspirants, deodorants, raw materials for preventing skin dryness and cracking, and anti-acne raw materials.

Barcodes with prefixes from 690 to 697 all indicate that the product is made in China or that the manufacturer (or distributor) of a product has applied for a manufacturer identification code in inland China. The barcode of a product is divided into 4 parts. The 1-3 digits from the left represent the country code; the 4-8 digits represent the manufacturer code, which is applied for by the manufacturer and uniformly allocated by the country; the 9-12 digits represent the factory code of the product, which is determined by the manufacturer itself, and the last digit is the check code, which is obtained according to a certain algorithm based on the previous 12 digits. Therefore, the product code of skin care products is the product's identity document and the basis for judging whether the product is qualified, but it is impossible to judge the ingredients it contains. We can judge the quality of skin care products by smell, texture, etc. Generally, inferior skin care products will have a strong pungent smell, which is very unpleasant, while qualified products have no smell or a light herbal fragrance; if it is a product such as lotion or emulsion, we can shake the bottle. If the liquid foam in the bottle is fine and rich, it proves that the product is of good quality and rich in nutrients. On the contrary, if there are few bubbles and they disappear quickly, it proves that the product has few nutrients and is not recommended for purchase. Skin care products will also be upgraded and replaced, and their functions will become more and more comprehensive, but it is recommended not to change skin care products frequently, unless the current products have no obvious effect, otherwise frequent changes will easily break the normal stratum corneum system of the skin and bring other negative skin problems. Therefore, the product code of skin care products is the product's identity document and the basis for judging whether the product is qualified, but it cannot judge the ingredients it contains. If you want to know what ingredients the product has, you can observe the ingredient list. The names of the ingredients should be arranged from more to less according to the amount added. The higher the ranking, the higher the content of this ingredient in the cosmetics. The barcode of the product only follows the principle of uniqueness. The first three digits of the barcode are prefix codes, which are assigned by the international EAV organization. The prefix codes from 690 to 699 represent Chinese corporate products, not a certain number representing a certain product. At the beginning, the domestic barcodes were 690 to 695, which were expanded to 697 in 2016 and 699 in 2018.

Cosmetics barcodes starting with 697 are made in China, and the number 6 indicates that the origin is China. The product code of skin care products is the product's identity document. We can judge the quality of skin care products by smell and texture. We do not recommend buying products of poor quality.
