Description

  The present invention generally relates to a cosmetic composition for eyelashes and a method for applying the cosmetic composition to the eyelashes.

  Conventional mascara formulations are wet or wet suspensions, generally thick and pasty, that are applied to the eyelashes of a person using a brush or comb applicator. Prior art mascara compositions are characterized as Newton or non-Newton at ambient conditions, including pseudoplastic fluids and dilatant fluids, depending on the desired product properties. These mascara formulations are difficult to handle and may be difficult to apply. This mascara is mounted on a brush applicator and then brought into contact with the eyelashes to transfer the mascara to the eyelashes. In general, this application process is repeated or elaborated several times to achieve the desired effect, and this process is cumbersome and time consuming, often suddenly, in the eyes and in the eyelids. The product may adhere to the facial skin where improvement is needed. After proper application, the mascara can be dried on the eyelashes. During drying or straightening, the composition could move away from the eyelashes, if contact is made to lead to further improvement, and sometimes the product is reapplied.

  This application method requires steady operation and needs to be performed in a static environment so that other parts such as the face and clothes are not stained with mascara. Furthermore, the application of mascara using a bristle brush applicator that is in close proximity to the eye can scare or hesitate that a person uses the mass. People with weak eyesight and people who cannot coordinate well with their vision and hands struggle to use mascara products or refrain from using them. Through the use of conventional mascara products and application methods, it has been impossible or very difficult to impart the desired visual effect on eyelashes such as patterns and designs. Therefore, there is a need for improved mascara formulations and mascara application methods that avoid these problems.

The composition according to the invention will reach the consumer as a peel and stick type product. Such compositions are used as powders, solids, semi-solids, or combinations thereof, but are not viscous liquids or pastes like conventional mascara products.

  As a significant difference from conventional products, the present invention is produced by one or more printing methods. In the present invention, a printed pattern of any size or design may be used in practice. Furthermore, the present invention may consist of a single dot or a combined set of dots or manifest as a single dot or a combined set of dots to achieve the desired effect. Also good. The term dot is used as a general descriptive term from this point of view above, but the term dot can represent a wide variety of possible shapes. For example, the shape is not limited, but a circle, a triangle, a star having at least two points, a rectangle, a rectangle, an oblique hexahedron, a pentagon, a hexagon, an octagon, etc. Is mentioned. Examples of the printing process include, but are not limited to, lithography, flexographic printing, dry electrophotographic printing, or laser printing, release agent application, digital printing, inkjet format, and rotogravure or screen printing. . The composition of the present invention is considered to be immediate, i.e., no skillful operation or drying time is required to obtain the desired effect.

  The compositions and methods according to the present invention can be achieved, for example, as described below. Referring now to FIG. 7, one embodiment of the product of the present invention is depicted as a simple layer structure. The cosmetic product of the present invention comprises a support film or a protective layer having an adhesive layer disposed thereon. The next layer may be a colorant or printed image that is fully incorporated or embedded in the adhesive layer described above, and the last layer is a suitable material such as paper, plastic, or combinations thereof. It may be a transfer film made up of and the like. In this structure, the support layer serves as a disposable substrate to protect the adhesive from contamination before use or premature drying. The pressure-sensitive adhesive attaches a colorant or printed image to the eyelashes, and is also used to attach the cosmetic composition to the support surface film and the transfer film before use. The transfer film serves as a type of applicator for maintaining the cosmetic composition and applying the composition to the eyelashes. The transfer film is peeled after the composition is placed and the deposition mechanism is started. The cosmetic composition may be applied to the adhesive / support material by, for example, printing or any suitable method of the same type, may be provided by uniform application, or may be arranged in a pattern.

  Generally, the support film functions as a protective shield for the adhesive. It includes a material that has some affinity for the adhesive, such that the adhesive attaches to the support film, but the support film is easily removed. The transfer film or sheet functions as one or a part of an anchor of the cosmetic composition before use. Adhesives are also used to apply cosmetic compositions to the eyelashes during use, and are generally pressure sensitive adhesives that maintain the cosmetic composition on the eyelashes as long as the effect is desired by the consumer. Provide sufficient sustainability.

  The product generally also includes a support film of a thin plastic or paper material, preferably a transparent plastic such as clear polypropylene or Mylar® that covers and protects the cosmetic composition prior to use. . The support film should be removable by peeling without substantially destroying the composition. The coating layer may be disposed at a predetermined position by adhesion to the periphery or corner of the support layer or by other suitable means.

  Referring now to FIG. 8, one embodiment of the product of the present invention is shown in more detail as a more complex layer structure. The carrier layer or protective non-adhesive layer is in direct contact with the adhesive layer or layer structure. Examples of the support layer include materials such as a biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate polyester film (Mylar (registered trademark)). Contrary to the carrying, it may be a sealing layer that protects the colorant or the printed pattern layer for direct contact with the adhesive layer. The surface generating layer comprising polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, gelatin, or a combination thereof, and the second sealing layer sandwich the patterned ink or colored layer therebetween. These sealing layers may be varnishes consisting of dry oil, resin and solvent. Next is a release coating layer that consists of non-stick silicone or a mixture of silicones and allows the composition to be present away from the support or second carrier. Any sizing agent may be employed to change the stiffness or texture of the support or second carrier made of paper, plastic, or combinations thereof. Both carriers are designed for release, and the first carrier is effectively protective and, when removed, exposes the adhesive that fixes the composition to the eyelashes. The second carrier functions as a kind of applicator and is peeled after the composition is fixed to the target substrate, in this case the eyelashes.

  In order to apply the composition to the eyelashes, the user first removes the protective layer from the product to expose the cosmetic composition, if present. The support layer is then folded over the eyelashes such that the composition is placed on the top and / or bottom of the eyelashes as shown in FIG. The support layer is perforated or roughly folded at the center of the sheet to facilitate folding. Said composition is preferably removed from the support layer by application of pressure, in particular by squeezing the folded support layer with a finger or a special device used to receive the folded product. It is transferred to the eyelashes that come into contact. Optionally, the support layer, application tool, or composition itself may include an indicator that alerts the user when an appropriate condition for proper placement is achieved. The indicator may itself be revealed in visual or tactile mode. The transition can be improved by the application of heat, which removes the composition from the support layer or the like and applies the heat that is required to transfer it to the eyelashes. Can be improved by. The product can be preheated using a hair dryer or the like or special equipment used to heat the support material during application. The support material is then depressurized and removed from the eyelashes. Optionally, the product or eyelashes may be moistened to facilitate removal.

  The invention presented herein avoids the disadvantages of conventional mascara formulations and application techniques by applying dry mascara formulations to the eyelashes using a new application dry transfer method. The dry mascara application method disclosed herein does not involve the use of a conventional applicator to apply a wet or wet mascara formulation by brushing eyelashes. Furthermore, the present invention enables a wide variety of aesthetic effects (patterns, designs, etc.) that are difficult or impossible with conventional mascaras.

  The cosmetic composition may be applied to the support layer by any suitable means, including conventional methods employed to make cosmetic “samplers”. For example, bulk thin film application techniques, specifically extrusion or spray techniques such as those disclosed in US Pat. No. 6,691,872, have been used to make cosmetic samples. The disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference. Such a technique allows the cosmetic composition to be evenly distributed over the surface of the support layer. In addition, the present invention may be applied to industrial printing processes and, for example, but not limited to, industrial printers such as Redd Europe, Main Titles, and LetraSet, or, for example, Mactac, Scapa Group Plc, Adhesives Research, among others. May be produced by medical attachment and tape manufacturers such as Ltd and Tape Specialties.

  In another aspect, the cosmetic composition is printed on a support layer. Methods for printing cosmetics on a substrate are also generally well known, for example as disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,192,386, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference Incorporated herein. By the printing process, the cosmetic composition is precisely placed on the substrate in the desired amount and pattern. Further, depending on the printing process, the product may be printed with two or more different color cosmetics to give a unique effect when applied to the eyelashes.

  In addition, the patterns may be mixed or matched with each other or with the shape lines or other shapes described above. Such a combination can be applied in a single application event on the opposite side of the same sheet, or in two or more single events applied in succession. For example, in the first application, a circle can be placed on the eyelashes, and then in the next application, a complete line, a broken line, or a shape or set of shapes different from the first application can be provided.

  Referring to FIG. 1, a non-limiting example of the type of effect obtained is shown. In one first aspect, the product comprises a uniform application of color mascara, whereby when applied to the eyelashes, the color mascara moves to the eyelashes in a relatively similar manner, comparable to conventional mascara products. Can give you an appearance. The mascara composition can be applied to the top side of the eyelashes, the underside of the eyelashes, or both.

  FIGS. 1 and 14 also illustrate certain graphic effects obtained, for example, by printing two or more colors on a support layer. Of note among the many different variants according to this embodiment is that color pigments are applied to the support layer, thereby forming a color gradation on the eyelashes when the cosmetic composition is transferred to the eyelashes. It is. The color gradation may be applied along the long axis of the support layer (i.e. line II) so that the color gradation is formed from the root of each eyelash to the end of the eyelash or the color gradation is , May be formed from left to right across the support layer (ie, perpendicular to line line II), thereby creating a color gradation from left to right across the eyelashes. Rather than color gradation, using two or more colors in a discontinuous band gives a similar effect, for example, the portion closest to the root of the eyelash becomes one color and the portion closest to the end becomes another color. Achieved. The aesthetic effect to be achieved is basically not limited, but a few examples include a rainbow pattern, a wave pattern, a sunrise pattern, and the like.

  1 and 14, the support layer may further include a plurality of adhesive microdots used alone or in combination with a cosmetic composition. The microdots may themselves comprise the dry cosmetic composition, or may consist of polymeric materials or similar materials, and will generally include an adhesive that promotes the transition to eyelashes. . The microdots may be formed in any pattern, the dots may be uniform in size, or may vary in size and shape, as well to achieve a specific or desired effect It may be arranged in any spatial position required for The microdots may form a complete line or a dashed line, and may be a large shape as described above, or any design printed by one or more printing techniques described above.

  Referring to FIG. 9, a non-limiting example illustrates the present invention as an array of microdots. The microdots can be of any size, but generally are not required, but are about 10 μm (microns) to about 2 mm in diameter, and more typically about 50 μm to about 1 mm in diameter, or , About 500 μm (micron) to about 0.5 mm. The plurality of micro dots may be the same color or different colors. It has been found that when the dried mascara product is in the form of microdots, a thickening effect can be obtained, especially if the microdots are of a size suitable for being supported on more than one eyelash.

  Also shown in FIG. 1 is the use of a transparent composition to impart to the eyelash a matrix that retains and separates the eyelashes. The transparent composition may include a transparent adhesive polymer printed on the support layer in a pattern, such as a plurality of rows. As the composition is transferred to the eyelashes, the rows of transparent compositions are arranged substantially perpendicular to the eyelashes to form a matrix. Alternatively, the transparent composition may be applied as a uniform film on the support layer. In this way, the entire length of the eyelash or a part thereof is wrapped in the polymer film. The film is dimensioned to extend slightly beyond the tip of the eyelashes to provide a continuous “hard” edge, or to provide an edge having a “feathered” appearance, The eyelash tip may be dimensioned so that it extends beyond the edge. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the present invention may take a line or similar pattern shape so that the tip of the eyelash is stretched to impart length to the eyelash.

  In another first aspect, a method is provided for applying a dry mascara formulation to an eyelash, the method contacting the dry mascara formulation disposed on a support substrate with the eyelash and attaching the mascara formulation to the eyelash. Optionally, changing the temperature of the mascara, or applying pressure, light, or a combination thereof to the eyelash and mascara formulation. In one embodiment, pressure is applied to the mascara formulation and the substrate. In another embodiment, heat is applied to the mascara formulation and the substrate upon contact with the eyelashes. In another embodiment, the dry mascara formulation is exposed upon contact with the eyelashes. In other embodiments, the mascara is attached to the eyelash by holding the formulation in contact with the eyelash for a predetermined time without application of pressure, heat or light. The carrier substrate is not a conventional brush applicator for applying mascara. In one embodiment, the carrier substrate is a thin film material. In one embodiment, the application tool is used to transfer a dry mascara formulation to the eyelashes. The application tool incorporates the dry mascara formulation on one or two surfaces that are in contact with the eyelashes. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of an application tool having a dry mascara formulation incorporated on a surface placed in contact with the eyelashes.

  By the above method of applying mascara, the mascara is applied in various patterns, designs, or effects to achieve the desired eyelash appearance. This desired pattern or effect is selectively applied in the present invention on the top surface of the eyelashes or on the back surface of the eyelashes. In one embodiment, the desired colorant pattern mascara is applied to the eyelashes. FIG. 4 shows a plurality of color patterns or color gradations. In another aspect, small graphics or illustrations are applied to the eyelashes. In another aspect, a mascara containing a reflective material such as glitter is applied to the eyelashes. FIG. 6 shows an eyelash with a mascara containing glitter. The final finish of the mascara product of the present invention may be matt, semi-matt, gloss, semi-gloss, and combinations thereof, according to non-limiting examples. In another embodiment, a mascara with a desired visual effect, such as a rigid “hard lash” effect or “black matted dots” is applied to the eyelashes. FIG. 5 represents an eyelash with a “hard lash” effect. FIG. 6 shows an eyelash with a “black matted dot” pattern. In another aspect, a mascara with individual elements such as “matt black dots” may be applied to the eyelashes. According to the method, the amount of mascara applied to the eyelashes can be easily adjusted by adjusting the amount of dry mascara disposed on the carrier substrate. The present invention can impart sharpness, length, visual effects, including holography, and amounts, or combinations thereof. Furthermore, coating of mascara on light or thick eyelashes is easily accomplished by the present invention.

  FIG. 10 shows an embodiment according to the present invention, in which a plurality of cosmetic microdots and an adhesive are arranged on the support layer of the transfer sheet. The support layer is removed to cover the product and expose the adhesive and cosmetic microdots. When the peeled adhesive is pressed against the eyelashes, it adheres to the eyelashes and migrates microdots from the transfer sheet support layer onto the eyelashes. The microdots are simply weakly bonded to the transfer sheet, so that they are immediately transferred to the eyelashes with the adhesive.

  In one interesting aspect, as shown in FIG. 11, the product may have pressure sensitive ink on the surface of the transfer layer opposite the cosmetic. The pressure sensitive ink changes color when sufficient pressure is applied to phase the cosmetic on the eyelashes and thereby serves as an indicator of whether the product has been used smoothly and uniformly. In another aspect, the product is a raised protrusion or the like that changes the transfer layer to warn the consumer if sufficient pressure is applied to transfer the cosmetic to the eyelashes. A tactile index may be employed.

  It has been found that a predetermined pattern of printed cosmetics is useful to obtain a uniform coating and an excellent transition to cosmetic eyelashes. As shown in FIG. 12, the transfer efficiency is relatively low for a cosmetic line (printed along line II). This may be because the eyelashes are not coordinated with the cosmetic line. The hexagonal pattern in which hexagonal dots are inclined is considered to have excellent adhesion performance to eyelashes. The present invention is not particularly limited, but can be applied to any printed cosmetic pattern.

  A typical applicator device according to the present invention is shown in FIG. In embodiment “a”, the folded product is taken into a recess formed between two rigid plate-like members, which may have a slightly arcuate shape according to the contour of the eyelid. In operation, the user applies a force to the lever that pulls the plates to provide the pressure required to transfer the cosmetic to the eyelashes. Any lever actuation mechanism suitable for generating sufficient pressure to transfer the cosmetic to the eyelashes is considered suitable. In embodiment “b”, and as shown in FIG. 13, the product is held in a recess inside the stick-type device. A recess is formed between the terminal end of the device and the end of a slidable solid member disposed within the device, thereby providing sufficient pressure to engage the product and transfer the cosmetic to the eyelashes. In order to generate the slidable member, the slidable member may be moved toward the terminal end of the device by a pressure such as a thumb. However, no special applicator is required and the product is used by simply squeezing between the index finger or thumb.

The terms “backing” and “transfer” are not intended to limit the shape of the product when “sheet” or “layer” is used in a modified manner, Rather, it is understood that it is used to help the reader understand a non-limiting example in the figure.
