Abstract
This study aims to investigate the status of using medicinal herb cosmetics targeting women who had experiences of using medicinal herb cosmetics and present basic data for future development of medicinal herb cosmetics that can satisfy the needs of future customers and convergence marketing strategies. For the purposes, this study conducted a frequency test and a chi-square test (${\chi}^2$) on the 351 copies of responses obtained from a survey targeting adult women to identify the use status according to perceptions on medicinal herb cosmetics. As a result, the followings were presented: As the subjects were older, they preferred medicinal herb cosmetics and intended to keep purchasing it. Customers had more confidence in the medicinal herb cosmetics when the cosmetics were good-quality. In respect to efficacy difference according to prices, the subjects who believed that there was difference in efficacy according to prices were more satisfied with the medicinal herb cosmetics and purchased products of higher price. Such results indicate it is suggested that medicinal herb cosmetics would develop further when cosmetic products that can satisfy their need are developed.
