• the main object of the present invention is to provide cosmetic and / or pharmaceutical care products such as masks containing active principles which are in a ready-to-use form. use and directly applicable to an area to be treated and in which the active ingredients are dosed.
• a secondary aim of the invention is to be able to offer care products which do not have any usual chemical additive and whose packaging makes it possible to limit or eliminate the number of usual additives for preservation.
• the subject of the invention is a cosmetic and / or pharmaceutical care product such as a mask intended to be applied to an area of the human body to be treated, characterized in that it consists of an absorbent support and a preparation for impregnating said support, containing at least one active principle for cosmetic and / or pharmaceutical care of the area to be treated.
• the preparation containing at least one active principle is in the form of a fluid, pasty or other preparation, suitable for being able to be applied, preferably in metered manner, to the support and to impregnate it.
• the product according to the invention is in the form of a mask directly applicable to the area to be treated thanks to the support and in which the preparation containing the active principle is already dosed during the impregnation of the support.
• the mask thus formed is further frozen.
• the care product according to the invention is packaged by freezing so that the usual preservation and stability additives are limited, or even eliminated, since it is stored by means of freezing.
• a preparation containing at least one active principle is made from natural products such as fresh plants, fresh protein products and / or mineral products, alone or as a mixture. It is also possible to use the products in dehydrated, dried, powdered form for example for carrying out the impregnation preparation.
• plants are used fruits, vegetables, algae, plants, flowers, cereals, spices, singles, oils, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, etc.
• the protein products which can be used are preferably derived from meat or fish while the minerals used are for example clays.
• the plant, protein or mineral products used can be prepared in the form of juice, paste and other preparations suitable for being able to be applied to the support and to impregnate it. Since such a preparation is intended to impregnate the absorbent support, it does not require any additional texturing agent, which limits the manufacturing steps as well as the cost but also contributes to the quality of the product.
• the preparation containing at least one active principle can also consist of a conventional cosmetic and / or pharmaceutical preparation effective by application to the skin, the hair, that is to say with transcutaneous action.
• the mask thus formed is stored by freezing and offered for sale in this frozen form.
• the product according to this embodiment of the invention can also be packaged, frozen or not, in airtight packaging, preferably under vacuum, or in packaging with complex structure ensuring protection against light and atmospheric agents.
• a facial mask according to the invention has a substantially oval and curved shape so that it can be applied to the face.
• the freezing phase advantageously allows the mask to retain this curved shape allowing direct application of the mask to the face of a user.
• the mask according to the invention can be used directly frozen or it can be reheated to different temperatures. It has been surprisingly observed that the thawing of the mask according to the invention does not lead to deterioration of the mask, the active products remaining perfectly on the support.
• the efficiency of the mask can be optimized by proposing preferred efficiency temperatures.
• the affixing of the mask according to the invention may bring feelings of cold, freshness or even heat, at the choice of the user.
• the active ingredients contained in the preparation for impregnating the absorbent support are released towards the area to be treated, such as the skin or the hair where they act.
• the impregnation preparation containing at least one active principle of cosmetic and / or pharmaceutical care is in lyophilized or dehydrated form.
• the dehydrated or lyophilized preparation is applied to the support, preferably in a metered manner, and can be fixed, for example, by sewing, gluing, folding spaced apart on the surface of said support.
• This second embodiment of the invention therefore also provides a care product which is simple to use and whose efficiency is optimized, containing an effective dose of the preparation containing the active ingredients, without wasting products.
• freeze-dried or dehydrated form of the preparation containing the active ingredients allows simple preservation of the product thus constituted, by placing in sealed packaging, possibly under vacuum.
• a preparation containing at least one active principle is made based on natural products such as fresh plants, fresh protein products and / or mineral products, alone or as a mixture, the preparation then undergoing a dehydration or lyophilisation.
• the preparation can also be carried out from already dehydrated or lyophilized products.
• plants are used fruits, vegetables, algae, plants, flowers, cereals, spices, singles, oils, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, etc.
• the protein products which can be used are preferably derived from meat or fish while the minerals used are for example clays. Since such a preparation is intended to then impregnate the absorbent support during rehydration, it does not require any additional texturing agent, which limits the manufacturing steps as well as the cost but also contributes to the quality of the product.
• the support and the lyophilized or dehydrated impregnation preparation are enclosed in an envelope.
• This envelope is preferably made of a breathable material, on at least one side.
• the material is a fabric such as breathable gauze, on the two faces of the envelope or else the envelope only has one face made of a breathable material, the other face being in one waterproof material.
• the envelope can also be made of an absorbent material and during rehydration, the rehydrated preparation contained therein, can impregnate said envelope.
• the absorbent support can itself constitute one of the faces of the envelope.
• a facial mask according to the invention has a substantially oval shape.
• the use of an envelope as described can also apply to the first embodiment of the invention.
• the mask according to the invention is used by rehydrating it.
• This rehydration can be carried out with fresh water, sea water, mineral water, milk, soy milk, fruit or vegetable juices, beer, oil / water emulsions , chosen according to the care properties which can thus be added to the active ingredients already contained in the mask.
• the effectiveness of the mask can be optimized by choosing a particular rehydration medium and, for example, by heating or cooling the product.
• the affixing of the mask according to the invention may bring feelings of cold, freshness or even heat, at the choice of the user.

• the support can advantageously consist of a sponge layer having a holding in itself suitable for producing a mask.
• the absorbent support may also consist of a layer of absorbent material, further covered with a breathable material such as a gauze, the impregnation of the absorbent material by the preparation being done through said breathable material.
• a breathable material such as a gauze
• the absorbent support is applied to a base consisting of a breathable fabric such as a gauze allowing the preparation to pass, a preferably waterproof film such as plastic, latex, not allowing the preparation to pass , on which the absorbent support such as cotton, sponge is stuck, for example using a natural glue such as wet flour.
