Description

The present invention relates to a temporary tattoo kit.

In recent years, temporary tattoos have been known as a type of body art. Temporary tattoos differ from regular tattoos in that they temporarily stain the skin. That is, while a normal tattoo colors the skin by adding a pigment to the dermis, a temporary tattoo colors the skin by dyeing the epidermis above the dermis. Since the epidermis is replaced by metabolism, the temporary tattoo disappears after a certain period of time. In this way, temporary tattoos are beginning to be recognized as one of fashion because they only temporarily dye the skin.

On the other hand, as an example of the technique related to temporary tattoo, Patent Document 1 describes the following tattoo sticker. That is, a functional substance is mixed inside the base, a decorative portion having various patterns is arranged on the upper surface of the base, and an adhesive portion that can be attached to the skin is formed on the lower surface of the base. A release sheet is temporarily attached to the side of the adhesive portion opposite to the base.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2010-185039

However, inks for temporary tattoos have a problem that they are difficult to store for a long period of time.

On the other hand, the tattoo sticker of Patent Document 1 has a problem that the design must be selected from a limited number of designs provided by the tattoo sticker provider. That is, it is difficult for tattoo stickers to meet the needs of users who want to express their individuality more. Further, in a tattoo sticker, if the adhesive strength of the adhesive portion is reduced, the tattoo sticker may be peeled off from the skin.

An object of the present invention is to provide a temporary tattoo kit that can be stored for a long period of time and can draw a temporary tattoo according to the preference of the user.

The temporary tattoo kit according to one aspect of the present invention includes a first container containing a genipin-containing powder containing genipin, a second container containing a lotion, and at least the first container and the second container. A needle that can be attached to and detached from either of them is provided.

According to the present invention, long-term storage is possible, and a temporary tattoo can be drawn according to the preference of the user.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a temporary tattoo kit according to the present embodiment. 2A to 2D are diagrams illustrating a method of using the temporary tattoo kit (a method of preparing ink) of the same. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a method of using the temporary tattoo kit (drawing method on the skin) of the above.

(1) Outline FIG. 1 shows a temporary tattoo kit 1 according to the present embodiment. The temporary tattoo kit 1 includes a first container 41, a second container 42, and a needle 5. The genipin-containing powder 2 is contained in the first container 41. The genipin-containing powder 2 contains genipin. The second container 42 contains the lotion 3. The needle 5 is removable to at least one of the first container 41 and the second container 42.

As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the ink 20 can be prepared by putting the lotion 3 in the second container 42 into the first container 41 containing the genipin-containing powder 2 and stirring the mixture. Before the preparation of the ink 20, the genipin-containing powder 2 is not in contact with water, so that it can be stored for a long period of time.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 2C and 2D, the drawing tool 43 can be formed by transferring the ink 20 in the first container 41 to the second container 42 and attaching the needle 5 to the second container 42. ..

Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the drawing tool 43 can be used to draw a temporary tattoo 100 of an arbitrary design on the skin of the user 10.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, long-term storage is possible, and the temporary tattoo 100 can be drawn according to the preference of the user 10.

(2) Details Hereinafter, the temporary tattoo kit 1 according to the present embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

The temporary tattoo kit 1 is a set of tools used to draw the temporary tattoo 100 on the skin. As shown in FIG. 1, the temporary tattoo kit 1 includes a first container 41, a second container 42, and a needle 5. Preferably, the temporary tattoo kit 1 further comprises an aluminum bag 6 with a zipper. The temporary tattoo kit 1 may further include a storage box 7, a spatula 8, and a cap 9 with nozzles. Hereinafter, each tool will be described.

<First container>
The first container 41 has a first bottle 411 and a first cap 412. The first bottle 411 has an opening 413 (see FIG. 2A). The first cap 412 is removable from the first bottle 411. By attaching the first cap 412 to the first bottle 411, the opening 413 of the first bottle 411 can be closed. As a result, the inside of the first container 41 can be sealed. On the other hand, by removing the first cap 412 from the first bottle 411, the opening 413 of the first bottle 411 can be opened (see FIG. 2A). The first container 41 is made of synthetic resin (for example, made of polyethylene).

The genipin-containing powder 2 is contained in the first container 41. The genipin-containing powder 2 contains genipin. Genipin is the main component that dyes the skin. Genipin develops color in response to water and binds to the keratin of the skin to dye the skin. Genipin is a chemical found in gardenia fruit extracts. Genipin is an iridoid glycoside aglycone called geniposide contained in the fruits of the genus Gardenia. Since the genipin-containing powder 2 is not liquid and does not come into contact with water, it can be stored for a long period of time.

The amount of the genipin-containing powder 2 contained in the first container 41 is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 5 g or more and 7 g or less.

Preferably, genipin is an extract of genipa Americana. Genipa Americana is a plant native to South America. According to the ink 20 obtained using genipin, which is an extract of Genipa Americana, the skin can be dyed even better.

Preferably, the genipin-containing powder 2 further contains a starch degradation product and / or silicic anhydride. That is, the genipin-containing powder 2 preferably further contains at least one of a starch decomposition product and silicic anhydride.

The starch decomposition product mainly has a thickening effect. The starch decomposition product is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include dextrin, potato starch, and xanthan gum. The viscosity of the ink 20 can be adjusted by further containing the starch decomposition product in the genipin-containing powder 2. In this way, the ink 20 can be thickened.

Dextrin is a general term for carbohydrates obtained by hydrolysis of starch or glycogen.

Potato starch is an alpha starch derived from potato.

Xanthan gum is a water-soluble chain polysaccharide obtained by fermenting starch or glucose with Xanthomonas spp. Xanthan gum has a plurality of repeating units having two glucoses as a main chain, two mannoses and one glucuronic acid as a side chain.

The content of the starch decomposition product is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 15% by mass or more and 25% by mass or less with respect to the total amount of the genipin-containing powder 2.

On the other hand, when the genipin-containing powder 2 further contains silicic anhydride, bearing properties (lubricity) can be imparted. The particles of silicic anhydride are sandwiched between the particles of the genipin-containing powder 2 and rotate to improve the slippage of the particles of the genipin-containing powder 2. As a result, it is possible to suppress the generation of granular lumps (lumps) in the genipin-containing powder 2. Further, when the genipin-containing powder 2 further contains silicic anhydride, thixotropy can be imparted to the ink 20. That is, when the ink 20 is agitated, the viscosity decreases and it becomes easier to apply it to the skin, and after it is applied to the skin, the viscosity increases and dripping can be suppressed.

The content of silicic anhydride is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 0.5% by mass or more and 1.5% by mass or less with respect to the total amount of the genipin-containing powder 2.

<Second container>
In the present embodiment, the second container 42 is smaller than the first container 41, but may be the same size as the first container 41 or larger than the first container 41.

The second container 42 has a second bottle 421, a second cap 422, and a nozzle inner plug 424 (see FIGS. 1 and 2A). The second bottle 421 has an opening 423 (see FIG. 2D). A nozzle inner plug 424 is attached to the opening 423 (see FIG. 2A). The nozzle inner plug 424 can also be removed from the opening 423. The tip of the nozzle inner plug 424 is thinner than the opening 413 of the first bottle 411 (see FIG. 2A). The second cap 422 is removable from the second bottle 421. By attaching the second cap 422 to the second bottle 421, the inside of the second container 42 can be sealed. On the other hand, by removing the second cap 422 from the second bottle 421, the nozzle inner plug 424 can be exposed to the outside (see FIG. 2A). The second container 42 is made of synthetic resin (for example, polypropylene).

The second container 42 contains the lotion 3. The lotion water 3 contains ion-exchanged water and / or distilled water. That is, the lotion water 3 contains at least one of ion-exchanged water and distilled water.

The amount of the lotion 3 contained in the second container 42 is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 3 mL or more and 5 mL or less.

Preferably, the lotion 3 contains one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of 1,3-butylene glycol, polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil, sodium hyaluronate, and aroma oils.

1,3-butylene glycol (BG) is also referred to as 1,3-butanediol or 1,3-butylene glycol. 1,3-butylene glycol is a polyhydric alcohol (dihydric alcohol, glycol) obtained by hydrogenating an aldol condensate of acetaldehyde. 1,3-butylene glycol is less sticky than glycerin. When the lotion 3 contains 1,3-butylene glycol, a moisturizing effect can be obtained.

When the lotion 3 contains 1,3-butylene glycol, the content of 1,3-butylene glycol is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 4% by mass or more and 6% by mass or less based on the total amount of the lotion 3. be.

Polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil is an ether and ester mixture obtained by addition polymerization of ethylene oxide to fatty acids and triglycerides obtained from hydrogenated castor oil. Hydrogenated castor oil is a triglyceride of saturated fatty acids obtained by hydrogenating castor oil. Polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil is a nonionic surfactant (nonionic surfactant) classified as ethylene oxide condensed type polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil. When the lotion 3 contains polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil, an emulsifying action can be obtained. The average number of moles of ethylene oxide added to the polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil is, for example, 50 mol or more and 80 mol or less.

When the lotion 3 contains polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil, the content of the polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 4% by mass or more and 6% by mass or less based on the total amount of the lotion 3. be.

Sodium hyaluronate is a type of acidic mucopolysaccharide present in the living body. Mucopolysaccharides are also called glycosaminoglycans. Sodium hyaluronate is a high molecular weight polysaccharide having a weight average molecular weight of 100,000 or more and 2 million or less. Sodium hyaluronate can give the skin elasticity and flexibility by retaining large amounts of water. When the lotion 3 contains sodium hyaluronate, a moisturizing effect can be obtained. Collagen may be used instead of sodium hyaluronate, and collagen may be used together with sodium hyaluronate.

When the lotion 3 contains sodium hyaluronate, the content of sodium hyaluronate is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 0.25% by mass or more and 0.75% by mass or less with respect to the total amount of the lotion 3.

The aroma oil (essential oil) is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include lemon peel oil. Lemon peel oil is an essential oil obtained from lemon peel. When the lotion 3 contains the aroma oil, the color development of the ink 20 is further improved. Lemon peel oil is especially effective for oily skin.

When the lotion 3 contains an aroma oil, the content of the aroma oil is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 0.25% by mass or more and 0.75% by mass or less with respect to the total amount of the lotion 3.

When the aroma oil is contained in the lotion 3, it is preferable that the polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil is also contained. This makes it easier for the aroma oil to dissolve in the lotion 3.

The lotion 3 may or may not contain a monohydric alcohol (for example, ethanol). When the lotion 3 contains a monohydric alcohol, the color development of the ink 20 becomes even better. Further, a refreshing feeling can be imparted to the ink 20. In addition, it is possible to suppress the growth of bacteria in the stored lotion 3. Further, the quick-drying property of the ink 20 can be improved. On the other hand, if the lotion 3 does not contain monohydric alcohol, the temporary tattoo kit 1 can be used even by a person with alcohol hypersensitivity.

<Needle>
The tip of the needle 5 has the same function as the pen tip. The needle 5 is removable to at least one of the first container 41 and the second container 42. In this embodiment, the needle 5 is removable from the second container 42. More specifically, the needle 5 is removable from the nozzle inner plug 424.

<Aluminum bag with zipper>
The aluminum bag 6 with a zipper can accommodate at least one of the first container 41 and the second container 42. In the present embodiment, the aluminum bag 6 with a zipper can store the second container 42. Since the aluminum bag 6 with a zipper is made of aluminum, it is excellent in moisture resistance and light shielding property.

<Storage box>
The storage box 7 is a box that can store the first container 41, the second container 42, the needle 5, the aluminum bag 6 with a zipper, the spatula 8, and the cap 9 with a nozzle. This makes it easier to organize the temporary tattoo kit 1. The temporary tattoo kit 1 is also easy to carry. The storage box 7 is made of paper, for example.

<Spatula>
The spatula 8 is used to mix the genipin-containing powder 2 and the lotion 3. As shown in FIG. 2B, in the present embodiment, the thickness of the spatula 8 is smaller than the inner diameter of the opening 413 of the first bottle 411. Further, the length of the spatula 8 is longer than the length from the opening 413 of the first bottle 411 to the bottom surface in the first bottle 411.

<Cap with nozzle>
The nozzle cap 9 is used to transfer the ink 20 between the first container 41 and the second container 42 (see FIG. 2C). In the present embodiment, the cap 9 with a nozzle is removable from the first container 41. The nozzle 91 of the cap 9 with a nozzle is smaller than the inner diameter of the opening 423 of the second bottle 421.

<How to use>
Next, a method of using the temporary tattoo kit 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. The method of using the temporary tattoo kit 1 includes a method of preparing the ink 20 and a method of drawing on the skin.

The ink 20 is obtained by mixing the genipin-containing powder 2 and the lotion 3. In the temporary tattoo kit 1, the genipin-containing powder 2 and the lotion 3 are separated in order to prolong the storage period. For example, if the genipin-containing powder 2 and the lotion 3 are separated, they can be stored at room temperature for about one year. Thus, since genipin is not in contact with water, it is presumed that long-term storage is possible.

A method for preparing the ink 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A to 2D. In preparing the ink 20, first, the first cap 412 is removed from the first bottle 411, and the second cap 422 is removed from the second bottle 421.

Then, as shown in FIG. 2A, the lotion 3 in the second bottle 421 is put into the first bottle 411 containing the genipin-containing powder 2. Here, since the tip of the nozzle inner plug 424 of the second bottle 421 is thinner than the opening 413 of the first bottle 411, it is easy to put the lotion 3 into the first bottle 411 from the second bottle 421. That is, the lotion 3 is less likely to spill.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2B, the ink 20 can be prepared by stirring the genipin-containing powder 2 and the lotion 3 contained in the first bottle 411 with a spatula 8. Since the ink 20 contains the genipin-containing powder 2, it mainly exhibits a dark blue color.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2C, the cap 9 with a nozzle is attached to the first bottle 411. On the other hand, the nozzle inner plug 424 is removed from the opening 423 of the second bottle 421. Then, the ink 20 in the first bottle 411 is transferred to the second bottle 421. Here, since the nozzle 91 of the cap 9 with a nozzle is smaller than the inner diameter of the opening 423 of the second bottle 421, it is easy to put the ink 20 from the first bottle 411 to the second bottle 421. That is, the ink 20 is less likely to spill.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2D, the drawing tool 43 can be formed by attaching the needle 5 to the nozzle inner plug 424 of the second bottle 421. This prepares you to draw the temporary tattoo 100.

Next, a method of drawing on the skin will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the user 10 can draw a temporary tattoo 100 of any design on his / her skin using the drawing tool 43. When the second bottle 421 of the drawing tool 43 is picked and pressed, the ink 20 comes out from the needle 5. Since the ink 20 is thickened mainly by the starch decomposition product, the amount of the ink 20 coming out of the needle 5 can be finely adjusted by adjusting the force of the user 10 on the second bottle 421. Therefore, it is easy to draw the temporary tattoo 100 intended by the user 10.

The ink 20 comes into direct contact with the skin, but since the ink 20 contains the lotion 3, it can be used by people with sensitive skin. If the ink 20 does not contain monohydric alcohol, it can be used by people with alcohol hypersensitivity.

After drawing the temporary tattoo 100 on the skin, leave it for about 10 minutes to dry the ink 20. After leaving it for 6 hours or more, the ink 20 is washed away with water. As a result, all the temporary tattoos 100 disappear once, but after about 24 hours, the color develops mainly in dark blue and emerges.

The part where the temporary tattoo 100 is well dyed and lasts a long time is a part with a lot of keratin. That is, the arms, hands, feet, and the like are areas with a lot of keratin, and the temporary tattoo 100 is dyed better and lasts longer than the chest, waist, neck, and back of the ears.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the temporary tattoo 100 can be drawn according to the preference of the user 10. Since the ink 20 contains the genipin-containing powder 2, the temporary tattoo 100 is mainly dyed in dark blue. Therefore, the appearance of the temporary tattoo 100 is almost the same as that of a normal tattoo. Since the temporary tattoo 100 is not a sticker, there is no risk of it peeling off from the skin. There are individual differences in skin regeneration, and the temporary tattoo 100 disappears in about 1 to 3 weeks.

The surplus ink 20 can be stored. It is best to store the genipin-containing powder 2 and the lotion 3 separately, but even in the state of ink 20, it can be stored for about 3 to 6 months if frozen, and about 1 month if refrigerated. It can be saved. More preferably, an aluminum bag 6 with a zipper is used. For example, by storing the ink 20 in the first container 41 and storing the first container 41 in the aluminum bag 6 with a zipper, the ink 20 is longer than the case where the aluminum bag 6 with a zipper is not used. Can be saved.

(3) Modified Example In the above embodiment, the genipin-containing powder 2 in the first container 41 and the lotion 3 in the second container 42 are all mixed, but both are mixed according to the preference of the user 10. The mixing ratio may be changed. By changing the mixing ratio of both, the shade of the ink 20 can be changed, and the temporary tattoo 100 incorporating the gradation can be drawn.

In the above embodiment, the needle 5 can be attached to the nozzle inner plug 424, but it may be attached to the nozzle 91 of the nozzle-equipped cap 9.

In the above embodiment, the needle 5 is used when drawing the temporary tattoo 100, but a brush or the like may be used.

In the above embodiment, the user 10 draws the temporary tattoo 100 according to his / her own taste on his / her skin, but the user 10 draws the temporary tattoo 100 according to his / her taste on the skin of another person. You may.
