Description

Cosmetic container with galvanic ion electrophoretic introduction function

The present invention is the galvanic DC current through the lead wire so that the galvanic DC current flows to the outer circumferential wall surface of the cosmetic container body or the outer circumferential surface of the power supply unit as one pole of galvanic DC current, and to the auxiliary cap portion coupled to the container opening or inlet. The conductor is installed at the opposite pole of the product and the galvanic current is generated through the iontophoretic current generator installed in the bottom housing of the cosmetic container. It relates to a cosmetic container that penetrates the nutrients of cosmetics deep into the skin through the galvanic current of the chemical component of the aqueous solution. In addition, an ion flow indicator lamp operated by a human body sensor is installed in the galvanic current generator circuit in the housing, so that the DC current flows through the skin when the working electrode is brought into contact with the skin by holding the ground plane (ground electrode) of the main body container by hand. When the light flows from the ion flow display lamp, it is visible through the transparent part of the cosmetic container due to the direct current, so that the iontophoretic current using galvanic current penetrates the skin. The ion flow indicator lamp, which is activated by the human body sensor, can be installed in the auxiliary cap, which is a working electrode. To do this, the DC current generated by the iontophoretic current generator is moved to the indicator lamp of the auxiliary cap with two different poles. I was. In particular, the inlet portion of the cosmetic container was installed in the auxiliary cap made of a conductor in the nature of the aqueous solution product so that the aqueous solution can flow out when pressed to the skin in the form of water waves. Since liquid or gel aqueous solution is conductive, it is possible to install a conductor at the inlet to send current to the skin.

Most women use a variety of skin care and beauty tools in combination with cosmetics to protect young and beautiful skin. Under the stratum corneum of the skin epidermis, a thick protein protective layer forms a protective barrier to protect the skin. The protein protective layer separates the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin, thus making cosmetics, nutrients, bioactive substances and therapeutic drugs. Even if the use does not remove the waste accumulated in the dermal layer, and the substance and nutrients do not penetrate deeply into the dermal layer, so the effect of skin beauty and treatment is very poor. Therefore, various skin care devices and methods using galvanic ion current, vibration massage, far infrared rays, low frequency and high frequency have been researched and utilized to enhance the skin beauty and treatment effect. Referring to the galvanic ion current, when a direct current is applied to the body, ion movement occurs, an alkaline reaction occurs in the tissue at the cathode region, and a weakly acidic reaction occurs at the anode region. As such, when ionizing cosmetics or the like, cosmetics easily pass through the skin mucosa, and the effect of iontophoresis that penetrates into the tissue in the skin occurs. Galvanic ion causes chemical changes as it passes through an aqueous solution of acid and salt. These chemical changes also occur when galvanic ion currents pass between body tissues and cosmetic solutions. By galvanic ion current through the skin to move the ions existing inside and outside the skin to stimulate and absorb the skin can make the skin surface and interior to the optimal state. Galvanic ion current is a current in which the direction and magnitude of the flow are kept constant despite changes in time. The galvanic ion current has a large chemical effect, a heating effect, and a stimulating effect on blood vessel movement. There are accompanying characteristics. Therefore, the use of ion energy by galvanic ion current gently relaxes the nerves of the skin and delivers various water-soluble substances to the skin while simultaneously providing electrical, thermal and chemical effects. It can be ionized to maximize skin beauty and treatment effect and is also widely used for physical therapy. However, in the conventional skin care device using galvanic ion current, in order to apply galvanic ion current to the human body, there is a contact part called a large electrode on the handle part of the skin care device, and the hand must hold the beauty device directly by hand when using it. Form one electrode through, and is configured to continue to massage another one of the working electrode formed to fit to the other end of the skin care device in close contact with the desired skin area. At this time, in order to enhance skin beauty and treatment effect, the cosmetics or skin medicaments are applied directly to the skin, and the working electrodes must be closely adhered on the skin of the corresponding part to continuously massage for a long time. There are many things that are tiring and uncomfortable to do.

In addition, in general, the drug delivery through the skin (transdermal drug delivery) is a method widely used in recent years because it is possible to absorb the drug directly into the human circulatory system. The drug administration method through the skin has the advantage of being able to avoid the digestive action or metabolic action of the liver caused by oral administration, thereby reducing the gastrointestinal tract or liver disorder and properly delivering the effect of the drug. The iontophoresis through the skin of the drug administration method through the skin uses an electrophoresis effect to allow the ionic substance, medicine, or drug to be delivered to the body by the iontophoresis method. It is also known that iontophoretic delivery methods can be used to deliver an uncharged drug or agent to the body. This is accomplished by a method called electroosmosis. Electroosmotic is caused by flux through the skin of a liquid solvent (e.g., a liquid solvent containing an uncharged drug or agent) induced by the presence of an electric field applied across the skin by a donor electrode. It can be seen as. The term iontophoretic is firstly to deliver a drug or drug charged by the electrophoresis method, second, to deliver a drug or drug that is not charged by the electroosmotic method, third, electrophoresis and electroosmotic Using a combination of methods to deliver a charged drug or agent, and fourth, to transfer a charged drug or agent and a mixture of uncharged drugs or agents using a combination of electrophoresis and electroosmotic pressure. . However, the method of administering the drug through the skin is difficult to oral administration, so that the pain or drug overuse caused by the injection method can be reduced, and the drug can be continuously absorbed for a long time, thereby improving the bioavailability of the drug. Although it can be quickly stopped when skin side effects occur on the drug, and also has the advantage of reducing the discomfort of the user, the device is complicated and expensive, and the method of use is not easy to use generally There is no problem.

Literature Information of the Prior Art

[1] The importance of electroinfiltration through the injection of drugs has been recognized in galvanic ion infusion. This is even more so in gene molecule therapy, as seen in more than 1,400 US patents and more than 5.600 papers published in scientific journals and magazines. This method is used in the medical treatment field because of its intrusive nature.

Permeability of skin tissue was increased. Electroporation occurs in the skin when a membrane potential is generated in the epithelial cell structure by an electric wavelength of 0.5 to 1.5 volts. As a result, the lipid layer of the cell membrane changes.

It is well known for the formation of agueous vessels and is called "electropores".

After the electric wave enters, the formation of electro pores occurs. It only takes a few minutes and improves the permeability of the molecule. This enables penetration through the entire tissue targeted by electrical waves.

Agueous vessels maintain themselves for some time in proportion to the wavelength. This time ranges from a few seconds to about 10 minutes.

It has only recently been established by biochemistry, which is well known for its work on "water channel dedicated to transport of water into cells." The study won American scholars Mackinnon and Peter for the 2003 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Ionophoresis, Iontophoresis and Electroporation were first mentioned by Volta and Galvani in 1707, and this law was formulated in Ledac in 1900.

The technique takes advantage of the principle that electrically discharged ions move at different speeds in an electric field generated by a continuous galvanic current.
