  • the skin adhesive decal is a combination of a multi-color flexographically printed design on a very thin, flexible, extensible, uniform layer of water resistant material covering a water soluble release layer carried by porous decal paper and a uniform deposit of adhesive covering the design, adapted to hold the design against the skin and protect it from being disrupted.
  • the problem in the above-described decal is that, when used to conceal a flaw in the skin, the decal is very visible, the concealing effects of the decal are not sufficient and wrinkles tend to form on the decal after repeated movement of the skin.

Alternatively, the particles may be added to the hot-melt adhesive layer such that the particles are partially embedded in the surface of the hot-melt adhesive layer facing the first adhesive layer.
  • the above four-layered and three-layered structures are fused together by applying heat and pressure so that the hot-melt adhesive layer is fused to the image forming layer, covering the coloring materials, and the particles in the first adhesive layer are fused to the hot-melt adhesive layer. If the particles are in the hot-melt adhesive layer, they remain attached to the hot-melt adhesive layer and become sandwiched between the hot-melt adhesive layer and the first adhesive layer.
  • the amount of particles fused to the hot-melt adhesive layer which determines the matte appearance of the layered structure during use, can be controlled by adjusting the pressure and heat applied during this process.
  • a four-layered structure composed of a carrier layer, a substrate to be attached to the skin, a second adhesive layer and a peelable protection film is prepared.
  • the carrier layer is preferably formed from a film made of a thermoplastic resin such as polyurethane, polyethylene, polypropylene, an ionomer, polyamide, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, a thermoplastic polyester, or polytetrafluoroethylene.
  • the film is preferably laminated onto a piece of paper, and it is preferred that the carrier layer be thicker or more rigid than the substrate.
  • the substrate may be a layer of polyurethane elastomer with a glass transition temperature of 0 degree Celcius or lower.
  • the peelable protection film may be a released paper, separate paper or release liner commonly used in the field of adhesive tapes.
  • the second peelable protection layer is removed from the above-described seven-layered structure, and the carrier layer is removed from the four-layered structure.

  • a hydrating agent, an anti-inflammatory agent, a UV protection agent, an anti-wrinkle ingredient, an anti-oxidant, a healing agent, or a combination of two or more of these substances may be added to the substrate to be attached to the skin.
  • one or more of these substances may be added to the third adhesive layer.
  • the layered structure may provide cosmetic, dermatological or dermo-cosmetic effects.
  • the protection film is removed from the above-described layered structure including the coloring materials so that the second adhesive layer is exposed and the layered structure can be attached to the skin.
  • the water permeable protection layer is moistened so that the water or moisture permeates through the water permeable protection layer and reaches the first adhesive layer which is water soluble. At least a part of the water permeable protection layer is removed from the layered structure with the water permeable protection layer so that the coloring materials are visible from the outside, and the hot-melt adhesive layer, with particles protruding therefrom, is exposed. A portion of the first adhesive layer may or may not remain on the hot-melt adhesive layer after the removal of the water permeable protection layer.
  • the amount and balance of the coloring materials are determined so that the layered structure conceals the flaw and appears similar to the skin around the layered structure.
  • the amount and balance of the particles protruding from the hot-melt adhesive layer can create a natural matte appearance that further helps the layered structure appear similar to the skin surrounding the layered structure.
  • water may be applied to the exposed surface of the hot-melt adhesive layer.
  • Cosmetics may then be applied to the surface of the hot-melt adhesive layer, making the layered structure even less visible.
  • Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Example 1 were prepared as follows. (Preparation of a four-layered structure including an image forming layer) A coating solution for a third adhesive layer and a coating solution for an image forming layer as described below were applied by gravure coating in said order to a piece of PET film (second peelable protection layer) having a thickness of 6 micrometers. The layers were dried to produce an image forming layer that can be thermal transfer printed. A concealing layer of a white coloring material with a thickness of 10 micrometers containing acrylic binders was formed on the image forming layer. A layer of skin-colored materials (e.g. L: 60.52, a: 14. 25, b: 21.30) having a thickness of 3 micrometers was then formed on the layer of white coloring material to produce a four-layered structure for Example 1.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une structure stratifiée pour utilisation cosmétique ou dermo-cosmétique, un procédé pour fabriquer celle-ci et un procédé de dissimulation de défauts dans la peau en attachant la structure stratifiée à la peau. La structure stratifiée comprend un substrat à attacher à la peau, le substrat étant constitué d'un matériau flexible de sorte que la structure stratifiée puisse suivre une déformation de la peau, une couche de formation d'image comportant des matériaux colorants sur celle-ci, une couche d'adhésif à chaud sur le côté de la couche de formation d'image comportant les matériaux colorants, une première couche adhésive hydrosoluble sur le côté de la couche d'adhésif à chaud opposé à la couche de formation d'image, une couche de protection perméable à l'eau sur le côté de la première couche adhésive opposé à la couche d'adhésif à chaud, et des particules dans la couche d'adhésif à chaud ou la première couche adhésive, les particules étant partiellement incorporées dans la couche d'adhésif à chaud ou la première couche adhésive. Lors de l'utilisation de la structure stratifiée, les particules et le côté de la couche d'adhésif à chaud depuis lequel les particules font saillie sont exposés, créant un aspect mat qui réduit la visibilité de la structure stratifiée.
