Description

  The acupressure composition of the present invention is used when pressing the pressure on the shoulders, arms, palms, face, legs, scalp, etc. and the pressure points of the body, and the finger and skin are in close contact with each other to transmit force to the skin. The composition of the present invention is an oil gel having a maximum load (drawing load) of 20 to 63 g applied at 25 ° C. when a 2 mm diameter metal needle is inserted 8 mm and pulled out at a speed of 20 mm / sec. In particular, it is easy to take an appropriate amount on the finger, and it is not sticky and has a strong friction so that it does not slip when applied on the skin. It is related with the composition for acupressure which can transmit force to and is excellent in the anti-slip | skid effect.

  Conventionally, as a composition comprising an oil gel and applied to the skin, for example, there is an oily cosmetic, which is composed mainly of liquid oil, pasty oil, gelling agent, etc. In order to obtain a good feeling of use and a cosmetic effect, studies have been made on changing the amount and ingredients of these ingredients. And it has been used as makeup cosmetics such as lipstick and skin care cosmetics such as massage cosmetics.

  In the case of makeup cosmetics, in addition to basic qualities such as makeup effect and stability, usability such as goodness and smoothness is also required so that it spreads evenly during application, and in order to realize these qualities Various studies have been conducted (for example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2). In the case of skin care cosmetics, many are applied so as to slide on the skin, and a smooth feeling of use is desired. In particular, massage cosmetics are used for the purpose of suppressing the friction between the finger and skin so that a smooth massage can be performed. Therefore, smoothness is particularly required, and various studies have been made so far (for example, Patent Document 3). reference).

  Thus, the smoothness at the time of application | coating was important for the composition which consists of an oil gel applied to skin. However, when a cosmetic that suppresses friction during massage such as pressing an acupuncture point is used instead of the intended massage, the finger slips on the skin and cannot apply force. For this reason, normal shiatsu is performed with bare hands, but it still slips slightly when force is applied, making it difficult to convey the force accurately.

  In the prior art, investigations have been made to reduce friction and realize a smooth feeling of use, but conversely, compositions that exhibit the effect of increasing friction have not been studied. Therefore, for example, when performing massage such as pressing an acupuncture point, it is possible to accurately transmit force to the massage location even with light force without finger slipping, which can enhance the massage effect, which is the anti-slip effect opposite to the conventional one Development of a high acupressure composition has been demanded.

  In such a situation, the present inventor has conducted extensive research to solve the above problems, and as a result, when the composition is made of an oil gel having a specific pull-out load, a suitable amount of hardness is obtained with a finger and the friction is increased. Since it is non-sticky, it has been found that a comfortable composition for acupressure can be obtained, which is capable of accurately transmitting power when massaged or acupressure is applied. The invention has been completed.

That is, the present invention provides an oil gel characterized in that a maximum value of a load (pull-out load) applied when a metal needle having a diameter of 2 mm is inserted 8 mm at 25 ° C. and pulled out at a speed of 20 mm / sec is 20 to 63 g. It is related with the composition for acupressure.
Furthermore, this oil gel relates to a composition for acupressure comprising component (a) liquid oil and / or pasty oil and component (b) oil gelling agent.

  The acupressure composition of the present invention has a hardness that makes it easy to pick up an appropriate amount, has an excellent anti-slipping effect, can increase the friction but is not sticky, and can accurately transmit force when performing massage or acupressure. It is.

Limited by.
When the maximum pull-out load is 20 to 63 g, it is easy to take an appropriate amount on the finger and increases the friction between the skin and the finger, but there is no stickiness, and the comfort is not impaired when applied to the skin, and massage. When carrying out a finger pressure or the like, a force can be transmitted accurately, and a finger pressure composition having an excellent anti-slip effect can be obtained. A more preferable maximum value of the pull-out load is 30 to 60 g.
