Cosmetic puff

Abstract

Provided is a cosmetic puff whose cosmetic application side uses a double raschel knitted fabric knitted from polytrimethylene terephthalate fibers to a 28 gauge, so that the cosmetic puff offers more flexibility and better shape restorability, transfers as much of the scraped-off cosmetic as possible to the skin and consequently maintains a clean puff surface after use, and demonstrates excellent washing resistance, as well.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a cosmetic puff.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Cosmetic puffs made of various materials have been known, and among cosmetic puffs, those that are soft and comfortable on the skin are favored. In the above, for a cosmetic puff to be soft and comfortable on the skin, not only the pile itself must be soft, but the ground must be soft, as well.[0003]Examples of such cosmetic puff include those made of polyester velvet and polyester tricot piles as described in Patent Literature 1. However, PET and other polyesters lack flexibility and, even though the raised pile tips restore their original shape well from a flattened state, polyester cosmetic puffs do not feel good to use.[0004]Also, Patent Literature 2 describes a fluffed fabric containing polytrimethylene terephthalate fibers at least in the raised nap, where such fluffed fabric is characterized in that its anti-pill property according to JIS L-1076 is Grade 3 or better, indicating that a fl...

Benefits of technology

[0020]According to the present invention, once the cosmetic is scraped off by the puff surface and a sufficient amount of cosmetic is taken onto the puff surface and then attached to and spread over the skin surface, almost no residues of the cosmetic that has been scraped off onto the puff surface remain thereon, meaning that more cosmetic can be applied to the skin surface.

[0021]In addition, the puff itself is flexible and has excellent shape restorability, resulting in a comfortable feel on the skin surface, and since the cosmetic can be easily removed by washing, the washed puff returns to a clean state as if it had never been used.

Problems solved by technology

Conventional puffs are stiff and lack flexibility, and since their shape restorability after expanding / contracting is poor, these puffs may remain deformed depending on the conditions in which they are used or stored, which gives rise to a need to improve these properties.

In addition, these puffs let the cosmetic deposit on their surface and migrate into the puff over time, thereby making it difficult to remove the cosmetic sufficiently even after washing, and if the puff is used continuously in this condition, more cosmetic will deposit and migrate into the puff to make the entire puff hard and feel uncomfortable to use.

Puffs are washed and reused, but conventional puffs get their surface material damaged when washed and clearly the cosmetic remains on the puff surface after washing, and consequently the cosmetic still deposits on the puff surface and migrates into the puff as described above.
