DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cosmetic product which is fixed to the inside of the oral cavity and to the outside of the dentition to correct the shape of the face and to change the phase of the face. Elderly people, especially those who have become sick due to illness, want to show their cheeks richly in order to prevent them from giving a poor impression by meeting their customers and friends or taking a picture when they cheek. I often do it.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a means for correcting / changing a facial phase, there are known a type in which a solid substance of a fixed shape is adhered to the surface of the skin from the outside and a method in which a hardening type silicone resin is injected under the skin. However, as a method of putting correction means into the oral cavity, only a method of using a so-called "contained cotton" used by Kabuki actors or the like or a mouthpiece has been known for a long time.

[0003]

The method of sticking a solid substance to the face from the outside is usually easy to understand at first glance, and hides with a special makeup like a costume in the movie and theater world. And it is difficult for ordinary people to use it easily.

[0004] The method of injecting a resin under the skin is not suitable as a temporary correction means because of the need for medical knowledge and skills, and also results in a semi-permanent cosmetic surgery, which becomes unnatural with age. There is a problem that an impression may occur.

[0005] In contrast to the above-mentioned technique, there is an advantage that the cotton wool can easily correct the facial appearance even by ordinary people, and when it becomes unnecessary, it is returned to its original state.

[0006] However, the problem is that since the shape of the included cotton is unstable due to the use of cotton, and it easily moves in the oral cavity, it is difficult to frequently move the mouth while using the included cotton. Having.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic product which can be easily and easily modified and changed into a desired shape so as to have a desired shape. It is an object of the present invention to provide a facial beauty product which has the characteristics of a cotton wool that is returned to the original state, has a stable shape, and is less likely to move even when the mouth is moved for conversation or the like.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a cosmetic product for correcting the shape of the face in the oral cavity by fixing it to the outer side of the dentition, wherein an adhesive substance is fixed to at least a part of a soft elastic body. It is characterized by having.

[0009] By using a soft elastic body, the shape stability is remarkably improved as compared with the containing cotton. Moreover, since it is a soft elastic body, even when it is fixed in the oral cavity, there is little discomfort when used. In addition, since the sticky substance is used to adhere to the mouth, the mouth does not move even if the mouth is frequently moved, such as when having a conversation, so that a stable feeling of use can be obtained.

The outer part of the dentition means a space outside the dentition and inside the dentition, that is, the outer part of the gum or the inner part of the cheek. The flexible elastic body refers to a substance having elasticity close to the softness of the human body, and the flexible elastic body and the adhesive substance may be directly fixed, or may be fixed through an intermediate layer. . This adhesive substance has an action of detachably fixing the human body and the facial beauty product.

The soft elastic body used in the cosmetic product of the present invention is preferably a molded article of a hollow elastic body, a molded article of an elastic resin, or a molded article of a hydrogel of a polysaccharide or gelatin.

[0012] The hollow elastic body molded product is a resin film in which air or other gas is sealed. As the resin material, a flexible resin can be used without any particular limitation. Here, the term “hollow” includes an elastic foam covered with a film. Further, the elastic resin molded product is a molded product of a resin material having excellent flexibility and elasticity such as rubber and thermoplastic elastomer.

It is also a preferred embodiment that the flexible elastic body of the present invention is a hydrogel of polysaccharide or gelatin. Since these substances are also flexible and excellent in elasticity, and because they are natural products, they are digested in the body even if swallowed by mistake, and there is no problem in safety and health.

The above-mentioned soft elastic body is different from cotton and can be formed into a desired shape according to the shape of the face to be corrected, and its shape is stable during use.

The adhesive substance used in the facial cosmetics of the present invention is not particularly limited, but may be a water-soluble polymer such as polyethylene oxide, carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, hydroxyethyl cellulose, polyacrylic acid or a salt thereof. It is particularly preferred that the composition contains a compound as a main component. These water-soluble polymer compounds exhibit adhesive strength in places that are wet with water, such as the oral cavity, and do not move easily in the mouth even when the mouth is moved in conversation, etc. A feeling is obtained.

[0016]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The flexible resin material constituting the hollow elastic molded article which is the flexible elastic material of the present invention is a resin material such as polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) or the like. In addition, various elastomers, specifically, cross-linkable elastic materials such as silicone rubber and polyurethane rubber, thermoplastic elastomers such as crystalline polyolefin / polyethylene propylene / crystalline polyolefin triblock copolymer, thermoplastic polyurethane, etc. It can be exemplified as a typical flexible elastic body.
In particular, these flexible elastic bodies have a grade approved by the US FDA as a material for medical supplies, tableware and the like, and have high safety when used in the oral cavity.

These hollow elastic molded articles are formed by bonding a plurality of film or sheet-like resin materials by means of bonding, fusion or the like while confining air, and injecting gas into a molded article having a closed space. Method, blow molding method,
It can be manufactured by a known molding method of a hollow molded body such as a rotational molding method.

Even if a hollow molded article is not used, an equivalent effect can be obtained by using an elastic resin molded article using a highly flexible elastic resin. The above-mentioned elastomer can be used as such a highly flexible elastic resin. If it is not a hollow molded article, it is preferable to select a grade having a low hardness even for the same elastomer.

The flexible elastic body usable in the present invention includes:
It is also very preferable to use a hydrogel of gelatin or polysaccharide.
Polysaccharides are natural compounds and have no problem when ingested by the human body. Gelatin is a protein, as is well known,
Raw materials are commercially available. As the polysaccharide, any mannan classified into glucomannan, galactomannan and the like can be used. Particularly, konjac containing mannan as a main component is a suitable polysaccharide in terms of elasticity and strength. These hydrated gels can be formed into a predetermined shape by using a well-known technique in the field of food, in combination with other food gelling agents such as carrageenan and roast bean gum, if necessary, in addition to mannan. it can. The softness can be arbitrarily adjusted by the amount of water added.

As the adhesive substance used in the present invention, the use of an adhesive substance commercially available as a denture stabilizer generally used for fixing dentures and gums is also suitable. Such denture stabilizers include sodium polyacrylate,
It is known that a water-soluble polymer such as polyethylene oxide, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and sodium alginate is mixed with an oily base such as a saturated fatty acid ester or a paraffin compound, a powdery substance, or the like.

The purpose of the denture stabilizer is to stably adhere for a considerable period of time. However, in the case where the denture is temporarily fixed, such as in photography, the water-soluble adhesive used for the starch paste and the above-mentioned adhesive substance is used. It is also preferable to use the polymer compound in a paste form.

When the sticky substance is fixed to the flexible elastic body, it may be difficult for the sticky substance and the flexible elastic body to adhere to each other. In such a case, it is also a preferable embodiment that the surface of the flexible elastic body is subjected to a treatment for improving adhesiveness, or an intermediate layer is provided for adhesion.

Examples of the method for providing the intermediate layer include the use of an adhesive or a primer that adheres to both the flexible elastic body and the tacky substance, and the formation of a flexible coating film. It is also preferable to attach a flexible film to a flexible elastic body using an adhesive, and fix a sticky substance to the film.

As the adhesive or primer that adheres to both the above-mentioned flexible elastic body and the tacky substance, an adhesive having a reactive functional group, for example, a polyurethane-based adhesive using an isocyanate compound, or an alkoxysilyl group is used. An adhesive and the like are exemplified. These are all hydroxyl groups (OH
Group), and is particularly suitable when a hydrogel is used as a flexible elastic body.

As a material for forming the above-mentioned flexible coating film, use of a polyurethane-based adhesive or an acrylic-based adhesive using an isocyanate compound or a coating material having an alkoxysilyl group is advantageous in that flexibility can be easily obtained, It is suitable in that it is excellent.

Examples of the adhesive suitable for bonding the flexible elastic body and the flexible film include an instant adhesive, an ultraviolet-curable adhesive, and an isocyanate-based adhesive which are used in place of suturing in a surgical operation. You.

As the flexible film, a thin film of a thermoplastic elastomer is exemplified as a preferable one. As the thermoplastic elastomer, similarly to the above-mentioned elastic resin, a polyolefin-based, polystyrene-based, polyurethane-based, polyester-based, or polyamide-based thermoplastic elastomer can be used without particular limitation.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a cross section of a convex lens-shaped beauty product. The beauty treatment tool 1 includes a soft elastic body 3 and an adhesive substance 9.
