(Figure 1) Test 1 Challenge Test (antibacterial) Clear zone test: Applied BIO-Cide ECO 3.0% When 3% BIO-Cide ECO is applied to bacterial and fungal strains applied to the clear zone, the strains are eliminated.

Test 2 (Challenge Test)

Test group: Areas with and without BIO-Cide ECO applied at 3.0%. Subject: 10 randomly selected general office workers who had not washed their hands and had not used any cosmetic product within 3 hours. Test method: 1) Agar plates are prepared by bringing into contact with the palms of test subjects, and 3% BIO-Cide ECO solution is applied to each plate and dried. The effect of BIO-Cide ECO is observed by completing the necessary incubations with temperature.   Test 5 Confirmation that no strain was detected between pH 4.5 and 9 one week after inoculation. Microorganism inoculation: 1 ~ 2 x 10⁵ CFU/ml Test 6: Stability Test. Observation of changes through storage according to temperature conditions, storage exposed to light. Stored at 5°C, 25°C, 50°C / Weekly MIC test Figure 8: MIC test results for weekly confirmation of antimicrobial activity; maintained antibacterial activity at 70°C for 12 hours and at 121°C for 15 minutes. Test 7: Safety Tests. Test results showing no parabens, heavy metals, and various chemical content: 3 types of paraben: Not detected. 5 types of heavy metal: Not detected. 6 types of chemical substance: Not detected (Phenoxyethanol, Benzyl alcohol, Sorbic acid, Benzethonium chloride, Salicylic acid, Iodopropynyl butylcarbamate).
