As shown in FIG. 1, the massage candle of the present invention has a container 2, a wax component 3 accommodated in the container 2, and a core 4 inserted into the wax component 3.

  The container shown in FIG. 1 has a beaker-like shape. However, the shape of the container 2 is not limited to a beaker shape. The container 2 preferably has a spout 5 for pouring the dissolved wax component. The spout 5 is usually provided above the container 2. Then, the liquid in the container can be poured out of the container through the spout 5. The container 2 is preferably heat resistant. An example of the container 2 is made of earthenware. On the other hand, the container 2 may be made of plastic. What is necessary is just to adjust the magnitude | size of the container 2 suitably according to a use. Examples of the volume of the container 2 include 10 ml to 1 liter, and may be 50 ml to 500 ml.

  The wax component 3 is a candle body. When the core 4 is put on fire, the wax component 3 dissolves and part of the wax component 3 burns.

  The wax component 3 is preferably a composition containing solid fat and liquid oil. And it is preferable that the melting | fusing point of the wax component 3 is 30 degreeC or more and 60 degrees C or less. The melting point of the wax component is more preferably 35 ° C. or higher and 55 ° C. or lower, and may be 35 ° C. or higher and 50 ° C. or lower. The melting point of the wax component 3 can be adjusted by adjusting the type and mixing ratio of the solid fat and liquid oil. For example, the melting point of the wax component can be increased by adding a higher fatty acid having a melting point of 50 ° C. or higher. In order to have the melting point as described above, the wax component 3 preferably contains 40% by weight or more of solid fat and 15% by weight or more and 40% by weight or less of liquid oil. Solid fat means fats and oils that are in a solid state at room temperature. For example, fats and oils whose melting point exceeds 40 ° C. are solid fats. Among the wax components, the solid fat content is preferably 50% by weight or more, and may be 60% by weight or more.

  As the solid fat and liquid oil, those that are harmless to the human body and those that are less harmful can be used as appropriate. Specific examples of solid fat and liquid oil are those disclosed in JP-A-2003-41087 (Patent Document 3).

  Examples of solid fats are vegetable fats, animal fats, waxes, hydrocarbon oils, higher fatty acids, and higher alcohols. The wax component may contain one kind of solid fat. The wax component may contain two or more kinds of solid fats.

  Examples of vegetable solid fats are shea fat, cocoa butter, mango seed fat, and vegetable waxes. Examples of plant waxes are carbana wax, Oururiy wax, palm wax, candelilla wax, sweet potato wax, cotton wax, flax wax, cocotila wax, pissung wax, and esparto wax.

  Examples of fats from animals are beef tallow, sheep fat, horse fat and pork fat. Examples of waxes are beeswax and beeswax in addition to the above-mentioned plant waxes. Examples of hydrocarbon oils are petrolatum and polyolefins. Examples of higher fatty acids are palmitic acid, stearic acid, myristic acid, behenic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, eicosapentanoic acid and docosahexahydrochloric acid. An example of a higher alcohol is octyldodecanol.

  The solid fat is preferably a vegetable solid fat. In particular, the solid fat preferably contains shea fat. Shea fat means a fat content obtained from the fruit of a shea tree (Butyrospermum Parkiaceae) and extracts and contents contained therein. Shea fat has butter-like properties. For this reason, shea butter is also called shea butter. Shea fat is solid at room temperature, but has a low melting point of about 40 to 60 ° C. As the shea fat of the present invention, not only the shea fat in a narrow sense but also an extract or oil extracted from a shea tree may be included.

  Liquid oil means fats and oils that are in a liquid state at room temperature. For example, fats and oils having a melting point of 40 ° C. or lower are liquid oils. Examples of liquid oils are vegetable oils, animal oils, hydrocarbon oils, higher fatty acids, higher alcohols, silicone oils, esters, and glycerins. The wax component may include one type of liquid oil. The wax component may contain two or more kinds of liquid oil. The wax component 3 preferably contains 15 to 40% by weight of liquid oil. The content of the liquid oil may be 20% by weight or more and 30% by weight or less. The wax component may not contain liquid oil, or the wax component may contain 1 to 20% by weight of liquid oil.

  Examples of vegetable oils are palm oil, almond oil, coconut oil, vegetable oil, kalapaguay anensis seed oil, avocado oil, camellia oil, turtle oil, macadamia nut oil, corn oil, sesame oil, persic oil, wheat germ oil , Sasanqua oil, castor oil, flaxseed oil, safflower oil, cottonseed oil, eno oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, teaseed oil, kaya oil, rice bran oil, jojoba oil, kyonin oil, olive oil, carrot oil, grape seed oil, Rapeseed oil, camellia oil, and jojoba oil.

Examples of esters are isopropyl myristate, isopropyl palmitate, hexyl laurate, oleyl oleate, decyl oleate, octyldodecyl myristate, hexyldecyl dimethyloctanoate, diethyl phthalate, and dibutyl phthalate. Examples of glycerins include one or more glycerins such as glycerin, diglycerin, triglycerin, glycerin trioctanoate, and glycerin triisopalmitate.

Among liquid oils, palm oil is preferred. When the wax component contains palm oil, the oil when the wax component is dissolved becomes smooth and easy to extend. As liquid oil, it is preferable to use those containing a palm oil, a vegetable oil other than palm oil.

  The wax component 3 preferably contains 2 to 15% by weight of a thickener. Since the wax component 3 contains a thickener, a composition can be produced effectively using solid fat and liquid oil. An example of a thickener is silicic anhydride. As silicic anhydride, silicic anhydride silylated is preferable.

  The wax component 3 may further contain a fragrance. Since the fragrance evaporates, the candle for massage of the present invention also exhibits an aromatherapy effect. As the fragrance, a known fragrance can be appropriately used. Examples of fragrances are Angelica, Benzoin, Oregano, Orange, Chamomile, Cayupute, Galvanam, Clarisage, Grapefruit, Cypress, Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Citronella, Cinnamon, Jasmine, Juniper, Ginger, Spike Lapender, Spearmint, Sage, Zeranium , Thyme, tangerine, tea tree, nutmeg, frankincense, neroli, pine, basil, patchouli, verbena, rose, palmarosa, fennel, petitgren, vetiver, peppermint, bergamot, marjoram, mandarin, melissa, eucalyptus, lavandin, lavender, Lemon, lemongrass, rosewood, and rosemary. The wax component may contain only one kind of fragrance. Moreover, the wax component may contain two or more kinds of fragrances. The example of content of a fragrance | flavor is 100 ppm or more and 10 weight% or less, and if it is 300 ppm or more and 1 weight% or less, it is preferable.

  The wax component may include a nutrient component for the skin. Nutritional ingredients include trehalose and vitamins. Since trehalose has a moisturizing effect and damage recovery effect, it is preferable that the wax component contains trehalose.

  As the lead 4, a normal lead used for a candle can be used. The core 4 preferably has a portion inserted into the wax component 3 and a portion protruding from the wax component 3. By igniting the tip of the core 4 protruding from the wax component 3, heat can be transmitted to the wax component and the wax component can be melted. The core can be a rod. When the core is rod-shaped, the diameter of the core is 1 mm or more and 3 mm or less, and may be 1.5 mm or more and 2.5 mm or less.

  The candle for massage of the present invention can be manufactured by modifying and using a known candle manufacturing method. For example, first, solid fat is heated to a liquid. Add liquid oil and other ingredients and stir. Thereby, the composition which comprises a wax component can be obtained. Fill the container with the wax component composition in liquid form. Then set up the core. When the liquid wax component is cooled, the wax component solidifies. In this manner, the candle for massage of the present invention can be manufactured.

  The second aspect of the present invention relates to a method for obtaining massage oil. This method is basically a method for obtaining oil using the candle for massage of the present invention. This method includes a step of preparing a candle for massage, a step of igniting the lead, and a step of liquefying the wax component by the fire ignited on the lead. Thereby, the oil for massage of suitable temperature can be obtained. In the process of liquefying the wax component, the liquefaction of the wax component means a state in which the wax component in an amount that can be used for massage becomes liquid. The time for the wax component to liquefy varies depending on the composition of the wax component. An example of the time for liquefying the wax component is 1 second or more and 1 minute or less, preferably 5 seconds or more and 30 seconds or less.

  When the core is ignited, the wax component below the core melts due to the heat of the flame. Since this candle has a lower melting point than ordinary candles, melted oil accumulates on top of the wax component.

  As a method of obtaining liquefied oil, a method of dissolving wax using a hot water bath (hot water bath) can be considered. However, when the wax is heated indirectly using a hot water bath, oil obtained by liquefying the wax is easy to catch. For this reason, when using a hot water bath, the treatment temperature cannot be sufficiently obtained because the appropriate temperature cannot be maintained for a long time.

  On the other hand, in the method using the candle of the present invention, the lead is ignited to make the candle liquid. The oil obtained for this purpose can maintain a temperature suitable for massage at 38 ° C. or higher and 42 ° C. or lower for a long time. In the method using this candle, the candle is oiled in an amount that is just optimal for massage, so the candle is not consumed more than necessary. Furthermore, since the temperature of the oil is appropriate, the situation where the essential oil volatilizes can be prevented to a minimum. Further, since the portion to be heated is not the entire candle, deterioration of components due to heating (for example, oxidation) can be minimized. And in the state of a suitable temperature, since an oil extends smoothly, it becomes easy for a practitioner to perform a treatment and can improve a treatment efficiency. Furthermore, the use of oil at an appropriate temperature can increase the permeability of components contained in the oil and essential oil. Thereby, these active ingredients can be rapidly absorbed into the blood, and the active ingredients can be effectively utilized. Moreover, the massage effect can be enhanced by giving a comfortable feeling to the person receiving the massage at a comfortable temperature and also by demonstrating the performance of the active ingredient quickly and effectively.

  The third aspect of the present invention relates to a beauty massage method using the massage oil of the present invention. This method includes a step of liquefying the candle for massage of the present invention to obtain liquid oil; and a step of performing massage using the liquid oil.

  Since this massage method uses a new type of candle for massage, expectation and luxury are enhanced. In addition, the flame provides a visual effect, and those receiving massage are more relaxed. If the wax component contains a fragrance, it can also provide an aromatherapy effect.

  In the step of performing massage, massage oil may be hung directly on the skin of the patient. Alternatively, massage oil may be dropped on the practitioner's hand and used. The temperature of the oil is basically the melting point of the wax component. The melting point must not be exceeded before all wax components have melted. The massage oil is preferably at a temperature that does not cause burns and that the person receiving the massage feels warm. The specific temperature of the massage oil is 35 ° C. or higher and 45 ° C. or lower, and preferably 37 ° C. or higher and 42 ° C. or lower.

  The step of performing a massage preferably includes a step of performing a massage along the Langer line. The Langer line is a trace of the cell membrane produced by the process of cell division. The running of Langer Lines is the same as the running of fibers (collagen fibers) in the reticular layer of the dermis of the skin. For this reason, by performing massage along the Langer line, it is possible to prevent a situation in which excessive force is applied to the skin.・ Promotes the circulatory system such as lymphatic vessels. In addition, the essential oil masked by warm oil spreads quickly throughout the whole body, so it can give a very high massage effect.

  FIG. 2 is a drawing alternative photograph of the manufactured candle for massage. The container was made of earthenware and was about the size of a normal drinking glass.

  Table 1 shows compositions in Examples and Comparative Examples. As a comparative example, a normal candle (high melting point) and a low melting point were also produced. Silicic anhydride was used after silylation treatment.

The shea fat used in each Example and solid fat or liquid oil (oil or fat) other than palm oil are as follows.
Example 2: Aloe vera leaf extract mixed with palm oil Example 3: Mango seed fat Example 4: Hydrogenated (hydrogenated) soybean oil Example 5: Implementation of a mixture of almond oil and hydrogenated vegetable oil Example 6: Kalapaguay Anensis seed oil Example 7: Cocoa butter

  The above “oil” includes solid fat. Various fragrance | flavors were added to these Examples and comparative examples. The amount of added fragrance was several hundred ppm.

  In Table 1, numerical values other than the temperature melting point mean% by weight. As Comparative Example 1, a commercially available candle was used. This candle does not contain shea butter. The candle of Comparative Example 1 had a melting point of 82 ° C. When the candle of Comparative Example 1 was used, it was likely to get hot when it touched the skin. It is considered that the candle of Comparative Example 1 cannot be used for massage.

  Comparative Example 2 did not solidify because the melting point of the mixture was low. That is, it was not possible to obtain a wax component using the composition of Comparative Example 2.

  The candles for massage of Examples 1-7 had an appropriate melting point. When oil for massage was obtained from this candle and the oil was applied to the skin, the oil stretched well and was easy to massage.

  On the other hand, the massage candle of Example 8 had a poor oil extension, but could be used for massage.

  The present invention can be suitably used in the beauty industry.
