In one embodiment, the outer surface (preferably second surface 32) of applicator 1 comprises 17 dyne/cm to 37 dyne/cm, preferably 32 dyne/cm to 42 dyne/cm, or the surface energy of their combination.
hardness
The hardness number that hardometer A assesses the non-limitative example of applicator is 39.8.Be in embodiment at one, applicator is included on hardometer A measured, and 30 to 60, the preferably hardness number of 35 to 50.Flexibility/the pliability of material should allow in the larger power in trailing edge place.Utilize sclerometer A (Asker hardometer model XP-A) hardness-testing device to measure applicator hardness.
skin care compositions and methods
The skin care compositions and methods being applicable to be locally applied to by applicator skin can be essentially composition safe in any dermatology.In a preferred embodiment, composition comprises the composition (such as glycerine) of one or more softening hairs, and it is combined with applicator and is used for making hair, preferably facial hair, and preferably the outward appearance of the tiny facial hair of female human minimizes.In a preferred embodiment, composition comprises the composition that one or more cover tiny facial hair, such as foundation cream.More preferably, skin care compositions and methods comprises hair softening ingredient and hair or skin coverture (such as, pigment).Although can use pigment, the preferred composition of alternative is substantially free of pigment.In other embodiments, pigment content can be nominal content, maybe can use the pigment of reduction.Other composition also can be in the composition involved, such as sun-screening agent or skin whitener.Preferably, described skin care compositions and methods: will not skin pore be blocked; Be applicable to sensitive, and through skin test.In a preferred embodiment, skin care compositions and methods paves beneficial effect partly to provide hair for film-forming composition.Film-forming composition (such as, MQ resin) is known in the art.See such as, WO 97/17057; WO 98/52515.
In another embodiment, skin care compositions and methods generally has higher viscosity.Not bound by theory, more viscous composition can provide face and better hide or use, because compared with the composition of more not thickness, it will not flow, thus make composition use the longer time by user by applicator and make composition be absorbed the longer time by skin of face and tiny facial hair.Applicator of the present invention is particularly useful for the composition using this type of viscosity higher.Except as otherwise noted, all viscosity described in the application are Brookfield viscosity.The Brookfield viscosity scope being applicable to skin care compositions and methods can comprise following which: 100 centipoises (cps) to 200,000cps, preferably 15,000cps to 90,000cps, more preferably 15,000cps to 60,000cps, or for have 39.8 Xiao A hardness applicator for, preferred scope is 15,000cps to 40,000cps, and or their combination.Measure a kind of suitable mode of viscosity to comprise and use Brooker Fil moral RVT, axle C, Heliopath model with 5 beats/min of (RPM) spindle rotation (and at ambient conditions).Not bound by theory, when composition to be assigned on second surface by user, the second surface 32 with the applicator 1 of concave surface can contribute to keeping skin care compositions and methods.The spill second surface of applicator is used as reservoir, so skin care compositions and methods is used more from the center of applicator during use applicator.This with form sharp contrast as some other applicator making skin care compositions and methods move to the straight line squeegee of applicator either side.This can cause user, and more times pats applicator for using (time that increase is used); And force skin care compositions and methods to move up in the side inconsistent with the texture of tiny facial hair, thus the potential hair of suboptimum that causes pave result inadvisablely.
The viscosity of skin care compositions and methods can have remarkable impact to using applicator of the present invention make product effectively cover on skin.The low viscosity compositions used together with high Shore A applicator may not distribute well from applicator, because liquid may not form enough hydrodynamic drags to overcome the downward force of the trailing edge of applicator.Alternatively, when using in combination with low Shore A applicator, due to high-caliber hydrodynamic drag and relative low trailing edge power, high viscosity composition can cause uneven deposition.
In one embodiment, the skin care compositions and methods used in combination with applicator of the present invention has viscosity inter-related with the hardness of applicator.With regard to have about 39 to 45 Xiao A hardness applicator with regard to, skin care compositions and methods will have the viscosity of about 15,000cps to 40,000cps.Alternatively, with regard to have about 55 to 60 Xiao A hardness applicator with regard to, skin care compositions and methods will have the viscosity of about 68,000cps to 90,000cps.Alternatively, with regard to have about 47 Xiao A hardness applicator with regard to, skin care compositions and methods will have about 100cps to 90,000cps, more preferably between about 15,000cps to 90,000cps viscosity.
Because the shear rate of using of reality is >100s
-1, so the shear thinning behavior of skin care formulation is also vital for uniform deposition.When deployed, applicator is in motion, applies shear stress to fluid.Therefore, apply velocity gradient and produce high-rate of shear due to little gap thickness.The characteristic shear rate of " diffusion " or " friction " is >100s
-1, therefore shear thinning product will apply less resistance to diffusion.Viscosity is restricted to Brookfield viscosity, and it is the usual commercial processes for dosed fluid structure.In addition, use TA instrument AR-G2 flow graph by the shear stress that applies to increase to fluid and the viscosity measuring gained forms stable state current curve.As those skilled in the art common, then fit data to this structure Carreau model, data fitting to be become common shear rate (in this case, 10 and 100s
-1).
In addition, the hardness through Durometer measurements with the applicator material of same geometry changes the hardness forming more preferably applicator for specific products fluid viscosity by composition.Particularly, have oval geometry as herein described, applicator durometer hardness can in Shore A 20 to Shore A 80, more preferably Shore A 30 to Shore A 65, and in the scope of Shore A 39 to Shore A 59 specifically.Being compared by the material (all there is identical geometry) of the deposition by having multiple applicator hardness, applicator hardness desirable for the product viscosity of particular range can be determined.Particularly, for the viscosity within the scope of 100cps to 19,900cps, the Xiao A hardness of 39.8 has best product deposition properties.Similarly, Xiao A hardness is the applicator of 47, produces most preferred deposited picture when product viscosity is between 20K cps and 69.9K cps.In addition, when viscosity is 70K to 200K cps, Xiao A hardness be 59 applicator send preferred depositional model.
