The present invention can easily produce and retain CO, therefore be convenient for a user to use COfor the cosmetic purpose, and bring sufficient cosmetic effect with CO.

Description

  The present invention relates to a kit for generating and holding carbon dioxide for cosmetic purposes.

It is known to use CO ₂ (carbon dioxide) for the cosmetic treatment of the human body. For example, CO ₂ can improve blood flow and thus exert a slimming effect. In addition, CO ₂ improves skin relief patterns, makes skin pores less noticeable, treats skin acne and comedones, lightens and / or whitens skin, and / or improves skin condition It is believed that it can be improved (eg by farming, imparting elasticity or tightening).

JP 2000-319187 discloses a composition that can be used for slimming and contains water, a thickener and CO ₂ bubbles. CO ₂ bubbles are prepared, for example, by manually mixing carbonate and acid. Usually, each of carbonate and acid is weighed with a spoon and then mixed in a container such as a cup. Then, the resulting composition is applied on the skin for transdermal delivery of CO _2.

However, it is not easy for the user to prepare CO ₂ bubbles by manually mixing carbonate and acid. This is because the mixing of carbonate and acid needs to be performed at a predetermined stoichiometric ratio depending on the type of carbonate and acid. In addition, the user must clean the utensils used to mix carbonate and acid, such as spoons and cups. This washing step may require additional time and therefore using CO ₂ bubbles for cosmetic purposes has not been very convenient.

Furthermore, under atmospheric pressure, CO ₂ bubbles can be easily stripped from the composition into the air. Therefore, the blood flow improvement effect by the above composition was insufficient.

  Embodiments of the kit according to the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a side view of an embodiment of a kit according to the invention. According to this embodiment, the kit 1 includes a first container 2 as a first compartment, a second container 3 as a second compartment, and a dispenser 4 including a nozzle 5.

In the first container 2, a first composition containing at least one carbonate is stored in a soft plastic bag. Compressed N ₂ gas as a propellant is present between the outer surface of the soft plastic bag and the inner surface of the first container 2. A valve not shown in FIG. 1 is provided at the top of the first container 2. The valve is tilted upward by a spring and can be opened when pressed.

In the second container 3, the second composition containing at least one acid is stored in a soft plastic bag. Compressed N ₂ gas as a propellant is present between the outer surface of the soft plastic bag and the inner surface of the second container 3. A valve not shown in FIG. 1 is provided at the top of the second container 3. The valve is tilted upward by a spring and can be opened when pressed.

The pressure of N ₂ gas in the first container 2 and in the second container 3 is equivalent to the first composition 2 and the second container in the equivalent amount of the first composition and the equivalent amount of the second composition. It is adjusted to be sent to the dispenser 4 from each of the three.

FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the dispenser 4. The dispenser 4 includes a nozzle 5, and a mixture of the first composition and the second composition is discharged from one end of the nozzle 5. The other end of the nozzle 5 is connected to the static mixer casing 6. The static mixer casing 6 includes a static mixer 7 with a plurality of blades around the shaft. The blades of the static mixer 7 function to mix the fluid of the first composition and the second composition pushed from the first container 2 and the second container 3 toward the nozzle 5. The multiple blades of the static mixer 7 can effectively mix the fluid, and the carbonate in the first composition and the acid in the second composition react effectively to produce CO ₂ be able to.

  According to this embodiment, the nozzle 5 is inserted into the side hole of the housing 8 so that one end thereof protrudes from the hole. On the other hand, the static mixer casing 6 is accommodated in the housing 8.

  As shown in FIG. 2, one end of the shaft of the static mixer 7 is directed to the nozzle 5, while the other end of the shaft is the fluid of the first composition in the first container 2 and the second container The fluid of the second composition in 3 is directed to the outlet 9 where it is discharged to the static mixer 7. The fluid of the first composition and the fluid of the second composition are mixed in the conduit of the static mixer casing 6, in which the first composition and the second composition are fed into the inlet 10. , 11 respectively.

  According to this embodiment, the dispenser 4 includes an actuator 12 having a push button 12a. The actuator 12 has two arms 12b and 12c each having two protrusions 12d and 12e at their ends. As shown in FIG. 3, the protrusions 12d and 12e engage with the holes 8a and 8b of the bar formed in the housing 8. The arms 12b and 12c also have two holes 12f and 12g at their bases. As shown in FIG. 3, the holes 12f and 12g engage with protrusions 6a and 6b formed in the static mixer casing 6, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the actuator 12 and the static mixer casing 6 are accommodated in the housing 8 so that the push button 12a comes out of the opening at the top of the housing 8, and the static mixer casing 6 is connected to the actuator 12 and the container. It is sandwiched between the holder 13. The container holder 13 accommodates the first container 2 and the second container 3, but is not shown in FIG.

  The user can press the push button 12a. The push button 12a rotates about the protrusions 12d and 12e, and thus the actuator 12 moves downward. Since the actuator 12 is connected to the static mixer casing 6 through holes 12f and 12g, the static mixer casing 6 also moves downward. The moved static mixer casing 6 contacts each valve at the top of the first container 2 and the second container 3, thereby opening the valve. The first composition and the second composition in the first container 2 and the second container 3 are then pushed into the inlets 10, 11 and transported through the conduits of the static mixer casing 6, It is mixed and discharged from the outlet 9. When the fluid has just been discharged from the outlet 9, it is not yet well mixed. However, when the fluid is pushed out from the outlet 9 to the nozzle 5, it is sufficiently mixed by the static mixer 7. Finally, a fluid in which the first composition and the second composition are completely mixed is discharged from the nozzle 5.

In this embodiment, when the actuator 12 depresses the static mixer casing 6, this causes the valves of the first container 2 and the second container 3 to open simultaneously. Accordingly, the amount of the first composition from the first container 2 and the amount of the second composition from the second container 3 can be substantially equal. Therefore, the actuator 12 can function to mix an equivalent amount of carbonate and an equivalent amount of acid, and at the same time, it discharges an excessive amount of carbonate or acid and that part of it is not used to generate CO ₂ Can be avoided.

  When the user stops pressing the push button 12a, the static mixer casing 6 is pushed up by the valves of the first container 2 and the second container 3. Therefore, the actuator 12 is also pushed upward, and the push button 12a returns to the position before being pushed. The valve is then closed, thus ending the discharge of the first composition and the second composition from the nozzle 5.

(Cosmetics use)
According to the present invention, the first composition and the second composition are mixed and discharged from the dispenser of the kit. The carbonate in the first composition and the acid in the second composition react to produce carbon dioxide, which dissolves in the mixture of the first composition and the second composition. Or in the form of bubbles.

  Since each of the first composition and the second composition has a relatively high viscosity, the mixture of the first composition and the second composition also has a high viscosity. The mixture of the first composition and the second composition is 2,000-60,000 mPa.s, preferably 5,000-50,000 mPa.s, more preferably 10,000-40,000 mPa.s, even more preferably 20,000-30,000 mPa.s. .s. The viscosity of the second composition should be measured with a BM type viscometer with spindles No. 1 to 4 and a rotation speed of 6 to 60 rpm or BH type with spindles No. 1 to 7 and a rotation speed of 2 to 20 rpm. Can do. For example, a viscometer manufactured by Tokyo Keiki Co., Ltd., Japan can be used. When the viscosity of the mixture of the first composition and the second composition is 2,000 mPa.s or more, preferably 5,000 mPa.s, more preferably 10,000 mPa.s, even more preferably 20,000 mPa.s, The carbon dioxide produced in the mixture of the first composition and the second composition can be more effectively retained in the mixture of the first composition and the second composition. In addition, the viscosity of the mixture of the first composition and the second composition is 60,000 mPa.s or less, preferably 50,000 mPa.s or less, more preferably 40,000 mPa.s or less, and even more preferably 30,000 mPa.s. If s, the mixture can be released more effectively from the dispenser and can be mixed more fully.

  Therefore, the carbon dioxide produced in the mixture of the first composition and the second composition is less likely to evaporate from the mixture, and therefore carbon dioxide is effective in the mixture even if the carbon dioxide is in the form of bubbles. Can be retained. As a result, the mixture of the first composition and the second composition can effectively exhibit the cosmetic effect obtained from the generated carbon dioxide for a long time.

  The concentration of carbon dioxide dissolved in the mixture is preferably at least 200 ppm, preferably at least 350 ppm, more preferably at least 500 ppm, even more preferably at least 1000 ppm, and even more preferably at least 1500 ppm.

  The cosmetic method is preferably slimming, improving the skin relief pattern, making the pores of the skin less noticeable, treating acne and comedones on the skin, lightening and / or whitening the skin, and / or skin condition Can be intended to improve. For example, a mixture of a first composition and a second composition dispensed from a kit according to the invention can be applied to the user's body and / or facial skin and / or lips.

It is known that CO ₂ has an effect of promoting blood flow by vasodilation, which is useful for skin activation such as slimming and enhancement of skin turnover.

In addition, CO ₂ in the blood is thought to increase free O ₂ by the Bohr effect (CO ₂ contained in red blood cells together with water produces HCO ₃ -and H ⁺ Reduces the pH in the erythrocytes, resulting in a decrease in the affinity of hemoglobin in the erythrocytes for oxygen). Free oxygen (O ₂ ) can help inactivate bacteria and the like, and can provide a healing effect or a treatment effect.

  In the combination of the above effects, carbon dioxide in the mixture of the first composition and the second composition improves not only the slimming but also the skin relief pattern, making the skin pores less noticeable, the skin It can also advantageously function in the treatment of acne and comedones, lightening and / or whitening the skin, and / or improving skin conditions.

  Prior to applying the mixture of the first composition and the second composition to the skin or lips, it is possible to apply at least one cosmetic product such as an ointment or cream to the skin or lips. This enhances and improves the beauty effects such as slimming. If the first composition and / or the second composition comprises at least one cosmetic ingredient, the cosmetic method can be simplified. This is because the step of applying at least one cosmetic product to the skin or lips can be omitted.

  It is possible to leave the mixture of the first composition and the second composition applied to the skin or lips for 1 minute to 60 minutes, preferably 10 minutes to 45 minutes, more preferably 15 minutes to 30 minutes. is there.

  Further, when the mixture contains water, the cosmetic sheet according to the present invention can improve not only wrinkles, especially fine lines, but also deep lines such as conical lines, and can improve skin or lip drying. it can.

  The invention will be described in greater detail through examples, which should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.

  The viscosities of the first compositions according to Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were measured with a BM type viscometer manufactured by Tokyo Keiki Co., Ltd., equipped with spindle No. 1 at 60 rpm for 1 minute at 20 ° C.

  Next, the following second composition according to Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 was prepared by mixing the components shown in Table 2. “%” Shown in Table 2 means “% by mass” with respect to the total mass of the composition.

  The viscosities of the second compositions according to Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were measured with a BH viscometer manufactured by Tokyo Keiki Co., Ltd., equipped with spindle No. 3 at 10 rpm for 1 minute at 20 ° C.

For each of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, 1 g of the first composition and 1 g of the second composition were mixed, and the CO ₂ concentration (w / w%) in the mixture was determined as the first composition and the second composition. Immediately after mixing with the above composition (T0), 20 minutes later (T20) and 60 minutes later (T60), it was measured by gas chromatography equipped with a thermal conductivity detector. The measurement was repeated twice and the average of the measured values was determined. Table 3 shows the average value of the CO ₂ concentration. The viscosity of the mixture is also shown in Table 3.

  As is clear from Table 3, the mixture obtained in Example 1 was able to hold carbon dioxide in the mixture for a long time, but the mixture obtained in the comparative example was long in carbon dioxide in the mixture. Could not hold for hours. Therefore, it is clear that the mixture obtained in Example 1 can exhibit the cosmetic effect obtained from carbon dioxide more effectively or over a longer time than the mixture obtained in Comparative Example 1.
