This study was conducted to investigate the perception of the harmfulness of cosmetics components according to safety interest in the use of daily cosmetics by female college students. For 30 days from September 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019, 791 female college students in Seoul and Gyeonggi area were surveyed. 727 copies were selected as the final analysis subjects and conducted by self-administering. The data were analyzed by using SPSS 21.0 program. The results showed that the safety awareness of ingredients according to the safety interest of cosmetics was higher than the functional awareness(p<0.001). The recognition of cosmetic reliability showed that the level of trust in organic cosmetics was high, and the recognition of cosmetic harmfulness was the highest in oxybenzone, and the safety awareness of the ingredients of the product was high in the order of synthetic coloring agent, synthetic flavoring agent, and oxybenzone. As a result of the study, safety awareness of cosmetics is high, but safety education and publicity are needed to recognize the harmfulness of cosmetics ingredients. It is considered that more systematic and professional education on chemical substances such as the use of allergen-inducing substances by customized cosmetics managers as well as education and promotion on safety of various cosmetics to be more diversely prepared due to the emergence of diverse functional cosmetics and customized cosmetics managers is needed.
