Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic puff, and more particularly to a cosmetic puff that can make up while cooling the skin when it is used while containing lotion.

  It is known that when makeup is carried out by adding lotion to a makeup puff, makeup is applied to the skin when the skin is cooled and makeup is performed. In addition, a cosmetic puff used with a lotion is made of a water-containing material made of a fiber material such as cotton and does not have a cooling function. A cooling mask containing a cooling agent in a bag formed in a shape and a towel containing water are stored in the refrigerator and cooled in advance, and the cooling mask and towel are taken out of the refrigerator during makeup for a predetermined time on the face. The face is chilled and then covered with a makeup puff.

  However, since it is necessary to prepare a cooling mask and water-soaked towel in advance in the refrigerator in order to improve the makeup ride on the skin, it takes time to prepare and cannot make up quickly. There is a problem, and there is a problem that an extra cooling mask or towel is required in addition to the cosmetic puff. In addition, it is also proposed that the cosmetic device is soaked with lotion or the like, frozen in the freezer, then taken out from the freezer and left at room temperature for several minutes, and then used the cosmetic device ( However, this beauty tool also has the inconvenience of having to be frozen in advance for a predetermined time.

  According to the invention of claim 5, since the water-absorbing substance is made of a water-absorbing polymer conventionally used in various fields, it is easy to obtain the water-absorbing substance and the amount of the water-absorbing polymer is adjusted. Thereby, the cooling duration in the cosmetic puff can be adjusted.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cosmetic puff according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the cosmetic puff of FIG. The cosmetic puff 10 shown in the figure has an endothermic substance 21 in the puff body 11.

  The puff body 11 is composed of a plurality of layers, and each layer is composed of a water-containing material. The puff body 11 of this embodiment is composed of two layers, a first layer 13 and a second layer 15. Examples of the water-containing material include materials that can permeate moisture from the surface into the inside and contain moisture in the surface and the inside, such as a fiber web made of cotton or a mixed cotton of cotton and rayon. In addition, it is preferable that the puff body 11 is mixed with a heat-fusible fiber made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin fiber and the like, and the periphery and the like are fused with a heat seal. Reference numeral 17 denotes a heat seal portion.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the first layer 13 and the second layer 15 of the puff body 11 may be constituted by core members 13A and 15A and surface members 13B and 15B laminated on the outer surface thereof. The core members 13A and 15A are made of a water-containing material having cushioning properties such as cotton, a cotton blend of cotton and rayon, or a fiber web in which heat-fusible fibers are mixed, while the surface material 13B, 15B protects the surfaces of the core materials 13A and 15A to improve the feel during makeup, and is preferably composed of a heat-fusible nonwoven fabric made of thermoplastic synthetic resin fibers or the like. The core members 13A and 15A are configured with no heat-fusible fiber, and the surface members 13B and 15B are configured with a plane dimension larger than the plane dimension of the core members 13A and 15B. The peripheral edges of the surface materials 13B and 15B protruding from the outer periphery of the core materials 13A and 15A may be sealed by heat fusion or the like.

  In this embodiment, a heat absorbing material 21 and a water absorbing material 31 are provided between the first layer 13 and the second layer 15. The endothermic substance 21 is made of an endothermic reaction caused by contact with moisture, and xylitol is particularly preferable. The xylitol is recognized as a food additive and is widely used in sweeteners, caries prevention agents, etc., and a powdery product is applied between the first layer 13 and the second layer 15. It is preferable to disperse. If the amount of xylitol is too small, the amount of heat absorbed by contact with the skin lotion is reduced, and a sufficient cooling action on the surface of the cosmetic puff 10 cannot be obtained. Therefore, the first layer 13 and the second layer 15 It is preferable to set the optimum amount depending on the material and size. When the cosmetic puff 10 is the same size as a conventionally used cosmetic puff (thickness 2 to 10 mm, vertical 50 to 100 mm, horizontal 45 to 70 mm), the amount of the xylitol is preferably about 1 to 10 g. . In addition, when the amount of xylitol is large, the cooling effect becomes excessive more than necessary, and on the contrary, since xylitol is expensive, the cost of the cosmetic puff is increased, so the above range is preferable. Xylitol is used in powder form at room temperature. The particle diameter of xylitol is preferably about 0.3 mm to 2 mm. When the particle diameter of xylitol is smaller than 0.3 mm, the powdery xylitol dispersed on the fiber web is likely to fall from the gap between the fibers on the fiber web surface, and the xylitol powder is between the first layer 13 and the second layer 15. It becomes difficult to hold the body. On the other hand, when the particle diameter of xylitol is larger than 2 mm, a rough feeling tends to occur when the cosmetic puff 10 is used.

  As the water-absorbing substance 31, a water-absorbing polymer in which a hydrophilic polymer such as carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium polyacrylate, polyvinyl alcohol or the like is cross-linked and insoluble in water is preferable. The presence of the water-absorbing substance 31 together with the endothermic substance 21 in the puff body 11 can enhance the durability of the endothermic action by the endothermic substance 21. If the amount of the water-absorbing substance 31 is too large, most of the lotion adhered to the surface of the cosmetic puff 10 is taken into the water-absorbing substance 31 and the contact between the endothermic substance 21 and moisture is impaired. The cooling action of the endothermic substance 21 is impaired, or the amount of the lotion present on the surface of the cosmetic puff 10 is reduced, and the makeup efficiency is deteriorated. When the cosmetic puff 10 has a size equivalent to a conventionally used cosmetic puff (thickness 2 to 10 mm, vertical 50 to 100 mm, horizontal 45 to 70 mm), and the amount of the xylitol is 1 to 10 g, The amount of the water-absorbing 31 substance is preferably about 0.3 to 2.5 g.

  Specific examples will be described below. A makeup puff having the configuration shown in FIG. 3, that is, the first layer 13 and the second layer 15 are formed by laminating the surface materials 13B and 15B on the outer surfaces of the core materials 13A and 15A. The cosmetic puff (thickness 5 mm, length 60 mm, width 50 mm) of the embodiment in which the heat-absorbing substance 21 and the water-absorbing substance 31 are dispersed between the two layers 15 and the periphery of the puff body 11 is heat-sealed. It was created by changing the amount of the water-absorbing substance 31. Table 1 shows the amounts of the endothermic substance 21 and the water-absorbing substance 31 in each example.

The core materials 13A and 15A used in each example are made of cotton and a heat-fusible fiber (a heat-fusible fiber having a core part made of polypropylene and a sheath part made of two components), and the surface material 13B, 15B is made of a cotton nonwoven fabric with a basis weight of 10 g / m ² , the endothermic material 21 is made of xylitol powder (particle diameter 0.5 mm, manufactured by Kyoeisha Chemical Co., Ltd.), and the water-absorbing material 31 is a substance name: polyvinyl alcohol (product number: Sun Fresh ST-500D, manufactured by Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd.

  As a substitute for cosmetic water, 2 cc of distilled water was dropped on the surface of the cosmetic puff of each example, and the surface temperature of the cosmetic puff was measured for a predetermined time. The measurement was performed by attaching a thermocouple to the surface of the cosmetic puff. The measurement results are shown at the bottom of Table 1. In addition, Examples 1-3 are examples which contain only an endothermic substance and do not contain a water absorbing substance. For comparison, the surface temperature change of the cosmetic puff was also measured in the same manner as in Examples for Comparative Examples 1 to 3 that did not contain both the endothermic substance and the water-absorbing substance.

  As understood from the measurement results, the cosmetic puff of each example has a surface temperature lowered from 20 ° C. immediately after the dropping to a level of 8 ° C. by distilled water dropped on the surface. In particular, Examples 1 to 3, which contain only endothermic substances, can quickly feel cold because the temperature rapidly drops from the 8 ° C. level to the 11 ° C. level after 1 minute from the 20 ° C. level immediately after dropping. Since the temperature gradually rises from the lapse of 3 minutes, it is slightly inferior to the minimum temperature decrease maintenance time (that is, the cooling maintenance time). On the other hand, Examples 4 to 9 having both endothermic substances and water-absorbing substances have a minimum temperature slightly higher than those of Examples 1 to 3 having only the endothermic substance, but the minimum temperature is almost 20 minutes later. The 14 ° C. to 15 ° C. range was maintained, and the surface temperature drop maintaining time was much longer, and it was not overcooled. Specifically, in Examples 4 to 6, the temperature rapidly dropped to 15 ° C. or less after 1 minute from the 20 ° C. immediately after the dropping, and the low temperature was maintained thereafter. On the other hand, Examples 7-9 became 15-17 degreeC after 3-5 minutes from 20 degreeC immediately after dripping, and are maintaining the low temperature after that. Therefore, the cosmetic puffs of Examples 4 to 9 have an advantage that the maintenance time after becoming low temperature is long, so that after the dripping of the lotion, the makeup puff can be calmed and applied for a long time. On the other hand, in the comparative example, even when 20 minutes passed after dropping of distilled water, the temperature did not substantially decrease from 20 ° C. immediately after the dropping, and the temperature lowering effect was not obtained.

  As described above, the cosmetic puff of the present invention can lower the surface temperature of the puff when performing makeup using the lotion, so that the skin touching the cosmetic puff is cooled to improve the makeup ride. Can do. In addition, the cosmetic puff of the present invention can reduce the surface temperature of the cosmetic puff without being cooled in advance by a refrigerator or the like, so that it does not take time to start makeup. In addition, the cosmetic puff of the present invention reduces the unevenness of makeup because it can maintain cooling and suppress sweating if it is attached to a part of the face or part of the neck for a while after being used for makeup. can do. Furthermore, since the cosmetic puff of the present invention has an endothermic substance that generates an endothermic reaction when in contact with moisture, it can absorb moisture of sweat not only when applying makeup, Is also effective.
