Abstract [en]

Chemicals in cosmetics are dangerous for both humans and the environment. Multiple studies and reports estimate that Sweden will not reach its climate goals, in large part because of the usage of chemicals. The law meant to protect humans and nature against chemicals is flawed since it is based on a state of knowledge that is flawed. Mobile applications which are meant to increase awareness of chemical usage are flawed in scope, functionality and credibility.

 

The purpose of this study is to develop a mobile application which improves upon the flaws identified in existing mobile applications. The study uses design science research methodology, DSRM, to develop the artefact. DSRM is an iterative process with six steps where the development process is documented. The study is carried out with the company Consid AB which acts as stakeholders for the research project. The mobile application is evaluated in a descriptive method and analyzed by the authors of the study.

 

The results of the study show that the functional flaws identified from existing applications are possible to improve and that the developed application highlights chemicals with the flawed state of knowledge in mind.
