Description

MARKED UP COPY A structured gel-filled cosmetic mask Technical Field The present invention relates to a structured gel-filled cosmetic mask, and more particularly to a gel-filled cosmetic mask that is more suitable for use due to its structural stability and good stretchability.

Background At present, the cosmetic masks (such as facial masks, eye masks, etc.) in the market can be roughly divided into three types. The first type is made of non-woven or cloth, silk, fibers and so on in a shape similar to human face or eye peripheral area, which is then immersed in a solution containing active ingredients, and it is directly attached to face when using. The second type is inelastic fast-drying jelly type mask, such jelly mask or eye mask usually is placed in a sealed plastic box or bag. The sealed plastic box or bag is torn and the mask is attached when using. The third type is cataplasm mask, which is made by coating or bonding a cataplasm on a non-woven and cutting into a shape for use.

The shortcomings of the masks made of non-woven or cloth, silk, fiber and so on mainly include lack of elasticity and lack of continuous effects to facial skin, since their active ingredients are directly exposed to air and would be volatile or dry in a short period of time, so that they cannot act on the skin surface for a long time to achieve the cosmetic purpose in high efficiency. In addition, the masks made of non-woven or cloth, silk, fiber and so on initially contain a large amount of water, which makes skin absorbs excessive water at the beginning, and then the fast-dried fiber or cloth would absorb moisture from skin in reverse. This causes the skin to experience too much water replenishment and dryness in a short period of time, and the skin would be flabby more quickly after long-term use of such masks.

The disadvantages of jelly masks include insufficient elasticity and poor tenacity, as well as containing a lot of water, ease of volatilization and drying, ease of sliding and shifting on skin, ease of tearing when stretched after being affixed to face, insufficient stretchability and flexibility, unable to be firmly attached to skin, prone to be dry after contacting with air leading to quick MARKED UP COPY volatilization of active ingredients, so that they cannot bring moisturizing and cosmetic effects for a long period of time .

The cataplasm type masks have skin irritation, likely to cause skin allergies, and are insoluble in water, airtight and cannot be used for a long time on the skin. In addition, cataplasm is insoluble in water after forming, resulting in the active ingredients cannot be transdermally absorbed. Further, since human face has three-dimensional contour and is unlike a plane, the cataplasm type masks have no stretchability and elastic conformability, would form wrinkles and upwarp during adhesion and not be able to fully fit the face.

At present, the use of facial masks is a simple and easy-to-use cosmetic method for most people. However, how to make external facial masks more effective and longer lasting, also to solve the problems of the current products, most importantly, to remove wrinkles on face and around eye and to provide continuity of cosmetic effects are the issues that need to be addressed.

Contents of the Invention The present invention aims to provide a structured gel-filled cosmetic mask, in which architectural structure and method are incorporated into cosmetic mask, employing a fixing skeleton, a gel filling band and a free-flow gel layer in an integrally formed structure that utilizes the cavity of concave structure of the fixing skeleton, in combination with the cosmetic ingredients in gel form, to produce elasticity and stretching force, make the cosmetic mask more stable, bearing more active ingredients, and exhibiting stretch effect when applying on skin wrinkles.

The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A structured gel-filled cosmetic mask, comprising a fixing skeleton, a gel filling band and a free-flow gel layer in an integrally formed structure, wherein the fixing skeleton comprises a cavity of a concave structure, the cavity is filled with a premade filling material to form the gel filling band, and the gel in the gel filling band extends outward to form the free-flow gel layer.

Preferably, the cavity of the fixing skeleton is triangular, square, polygonal or irregular in shape, and a plurality of cavities are arranged in an array.

More preferably, the shape of the cavity of the fixing skeleton is a honeycomb shape or a regular hexagon, and a plurality of cavities are arranged in an array.

Further, a single cavity of the fixing skeleton has an area of no more than 9 mm .

MARKED UP COPY Further, the cavity of the fixing skeleton has a diameter of 0.09 mm to 1.0 mm, and is preferably made of polyester fiber.

Further, the gel in the gel-filled band has a viscosity of 150,000 to 500,000 mPa·s and a density of 0.5 to 1.5 g/cm³.

Preferably, the free-flow gel layer coats both sides of the gel-filled band, and the thickness ratio of the gel-filled band to the free-flow gel layer is 1:2 to 1:10.

Preferably, the premade filling material is selected from the following four formulas: Formula 1: Glycerol 25% Water 66.05% Sodium Polyacrylate NOVETAC P46N 5.0% Sodium Polyacrylate NOVETAC P55N 0.5% Dihydroxyaluminum aminoacetate 0.15% Hydrolyzed elastin 1.0% Sodium Hyaluronate 0.5% Vitamin E 0.5% VC polysaccharide 0.3% Paraben 0.1% Tartaric acid 0.2% Essence 0.2% Ethanol 0.5% Formula 2 Glycerin 23% Water 65.34% Sodium Polyacrylate AP800 6.0% Dihydroxyaluminum aminoacetate 0.16% Sodium Hyaluronate 0.5% Collagen 1.0% Aloe leaf extract 1.0% Arbutin 0.5% MARKED UP COPY Vitamin C 0.3% Hydantoin DMDM 0.2% Tartaric acid 0.2% Essence 0.2% Ethanol 0.6% Formula 3 Water 46.15% Glycerin 44.9% Carboxymethyl cellulose 3.0% Lubrajel 0.8% Xanthan gum 1.0% Pectin 1.0% Disodium EDTA 0.5% Sodium Hyaluronate 1.0% Aloe vera Leaf Extract 1.0% Aloperine 0.3% Oat peptide 0.2% Peppermint 0.05% Essence 0.1% Formula 4 Water 24% Glycerin 64.5% Hydroxyethyl cellulose 3.0% Konjac gum 3.0% Carbopol resin 0.8% Disodium EDTA 0.5% Arbutin 2.0% Sodium Hyaluronate 0.5% Egg White-Sodium 0.1% MARKED UP COPY Collagen 1.0% Essence 0.1% Sodium hydroxide 0.5% The structured gel-filled cosmetic mask according to the technical solution of the present invention is prepared by the following steps: Step 1), preparation of the premade filling material: weighing ingredients, loading the ingredients into a mixer, mixing and emulsifying to form the premade filing material; Step 2), injection: heating the premade filing material, and pouring or pumping the premade filling material into hoppers on both sides of a special coater; passing the fixing skeleton through two middle coating wheels between the hoppers on both sides; starting the coating wheels to rotate, injecting the gel downflowing from the hoppers on both sides into the fixing skeleton by the coating wheels to form an integrally formed matrix membrane; Step 3), formation of mask: conveying the integrally formed matrix membrane as prepared in Step 2) via a conveying wheel to a gel curing channel, accelerating the curing of the matrix membrane in the curing channel by a high temperature drying method or a cooling method, then conveying to a die-cutting platform, selecting a die according to the shape of the product to be produced, and cutting the membrane into the desired shape.

The structured gel-filled cosmetic mask according to the technical solution of the present invention can be made into a facial mask, eye mask, nasal mask, lip mask, frontal mask or other cosmetic facial masks as needed.

The present invention adopts the above technical solution and fully considers and solves the following problems: 1. The active ingredients (the premade filling material) of the invention are integrally formed with the fixing skeleton, a part of which is stored in the cavity of the fixing skeleton and the rest of which is free to extend outward to form a free-flow gel layer. Such an integrated structure is very stable, overcoming the shortcomings such as unstable in structure, easy to break of jelly alone, gel-like masks, and also overcoming drawbacks such as unstable in structure and insufficient active ingredients to be carried of a mask in which a material is used as support layer and a gel layer is attached to the support layer (in this layered structure, two layers are not closely combined). 2. When the cavity has a selected shape, especially a honeycomb shape or regular hexagonal shape arranged in an array, the fixing skeleton can firmly combine the gel filling band and the MARKED UP COPY free-flow gel layer together, to exhibit greatly improved distortion resistance and tensile strengthen, enhanced ability to carry active ingredients, and more uniform and smooth surface of the obtained products. 3. According to the experiments and tests, when the cavity has an area of no more than 9 mm², and/or the cavity has a diameter of 0.09 mm-1.0 mm, the mask is composed of polyester fibers, and/or the gel of the gel filling band has a viscosity of 150,000 to 500,000 mPa.s and a density of 0.5 to 1.5 g/cm³, an even better stability can be achieved. 4. When the free-flow gel layer coats the gel filling band on both sides, and the thickness ratio of the gel filling band to the free-flow gel layer is 1:2 to 1:10, a better elasticity and tensile strength are achieved, and better effects in stretching skin wrinkles are fulfilled.

. For the product with the four formulations and their weight proportions as defined in the claims of the present invention, the components cooperate with each other to play better stability than other solutions, and the gel can be completely dissolved in water, so that the active ingredients can be fully released on the skin to achieve better cosmetic results. 6. The preparation method as described in the claims of the present invention provides a convenient process to prepare the structured gel-filled cosmetic mask of the present invention, which can meet the demand and effectively save the cost.

In comparison with the prior art, the technical solution of the invention has the advantages of providing a structured gel-filled cosmetic mask, in which architectural structure and method are incorporated into the cosmetic mask, employing a fixing skeleton, a gel filling band and a free-flow gel layer in an integrally formed structure that utilizes the cavity with a concave structure of the fixing skeleton, in combination with the cosmetic ingredients in gel form, to produce elasticity and stretching force, making the cosmetic mask more stable, bearing more active ingredients, and exhibiting stretch effect when applying on skin wrinkles, and thus it is economical and suitable for being widely used in the art.
