Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a solid cosmetic composition having a fragrance and formed into a solid form, and a method for producing this solid cosmetic composition. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, liquid cosmetic compositions (so-called perfumes) have been known as cosmetic compositions having fragrances. However, solid cosmetic compositions such as those formed into stick form (see, for example, Patent Document 1) and those called "solid perfumes" (see, for example, Patent Document 2), as disclosed in, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 below, are also known. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 7360541 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-43040 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Meanwhile, users of the above-mentioned cosmetic compositions have been demanding a solid cosmetic composition (solid cosmetic composition) that is easier to use than conventional compositions.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a solid cosmetic composition that is easier to use than conventional compositions, and a method for producing this solid cosmetic composition. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] (1) In the present invention, the composition contains wax, oil, and fragrance, and is a granular solid that spreads over the skin when rubbed into the skin.

[0007] (2) In the present invention, the oil contains at least an essential oil, and the fragrance contains at least an aromatic oil.

[0008] (3) In the present invention, the wax contains at least beeswax and candelilla wax.

[0009] (4) Furthermore, in the present invention, the granular solid state is visible, but the granular solid state is not visible when it is spread over the skin by being rubbed into the skin.

[0010] (5) In the present invention, the particle size is 1 mm to 1 cm.

[0011] (6) In addition, in the present invention, a powder is attached to the surface of the solid cosmetic composition to prevent the solid cosmetic composition from adhering to itself.

[0012] (7) The present invention also includes a step of heating and mixing wax, oil, and fragrance to form a liquid mixture, and a step of solidifying the mixture and forming it into granules.

[0013] (8) The present invention also includes a step of adding powder to the granulated solid cosmetic composition to prevent the solid cosmetic composition from adhering to itself.

[0014] According to the present invention as described above in (1) to (8), the solid cosmetic composition is easily deformed when force is applied, and can be spread over the skin by rubbing it in. Furthermore, since the solid cosmetic composition is a granular solid, the amount used per use can be set to, for example, one piece (granule), making it easier for the user to recognize the number of uses. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] The present invention has the effect of providing a solid cosmetic composition that is easier to use than conventional compositions. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0016] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of a solid cosmetic composition according to the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an example of a mold used to produce a solid cosmetic composition. [Figure 3] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing another example of a mold used to produce a solid cosmetic composition. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0018] <About solid cosmetic compositions> The solid cosmetic composition 1 in this embodiment shown in Fig. 1 is a granular solid containing wax, oil, and fragrance, and is a so-called granular perfume that spreads over the user's skin when rubbed into the skin. The solid cosmetic composition 1 is, for example, white, and when unused, is formed into granular shapes that are circular, semicircular, spherical, or elliptical in plan view, which easily deform when force is applied, and spreads over the skin when rubbed into the user's skin.

[0019] The solid cosmetic composition 1 is a composition that is visible when in the granular solid state, but is invisible when spread over the skin by being rubbed into the skin.

[0020] When the solid cosmetic composition 1 is in the granular solid state, the particle size is 1 mm to 1 cm. The particle size of the solid cosmetic composition 1 is more preferably 2 mm to 8 mm, and even more preferably 3 mm to 7 mm.

[0021] A powder (not shown) is applied to the surface of the solid cosmetic composition 1 to prevent adhesion of the solid cosmetic compositions 1. Examples of the powder include talc, wafer powder, dusting powder, and the like.

[0022] The solid cosmetic composition 1 may be distributed or carried in a container (not shown) containing, for example, 10 to 50 pieces (grains). The amount of the solid cosmetic composition 1 used per time is, for example, one piece (grain).

[0023] <Materials that constitute the solid cosmetic composition> The materials that make up the solid cosmetic composition 1 will be described below.

[0024] The wax includes at least beeswax and candelilla wax, but is not limited to these. Two or more types of wax may be mixed.

[0025] The oil contains at least essential oil, but is not limited to this and may be aromatic oil. In addition, two or more types of oil may be mixed.

[0026] The fragrance includes at least an aromatic oil, but is not limited to this and may be an essential oil. Note that the essential oil or aromatic oil may function as both an oil and a fragrance.

[0027] <Mixing ratio of each ingredient> The blending ratios of the materials constituting the solid cosmetic composition 1 described above are, for example, as follows, and the total within the ranges below is 100 wt %. Wax: 10 to 30 wt% Oil (e.g., essential oil): 50 to 80 wt% Fragrance (e.g., aromatic oil): 5 to 20 wt%

[0028] <Method of manufacturing solid cosmetic composition> Next, a method for producing the solid cosmetic composition 1 will be described. Here, beeswax and candelilla wax are used as the wax, aroma oil as the oil, and essential oil as the fragrance, and the following blending amounts are used as examples. Beeswax: 1g Candelilla wax: 6g Aroma oil: 5g ·Essential oil: 25g

[0029] First, the above materials are heated and mixed to prepare a liquid mixture 2 , and then the mixture 2 is poured into the recess 4 of the mold 3 .

[0030] After pouring the mixture 2 into the mold 3, the mixture 2 is left to solidify, and then the mixture 2 is solidified. The temperature at this time is, for example, room temperature or ordinary temperature, and may be, for example, 10 to 25 degrees Celsius, and preferably does not exceed 25 degrees Celsius.

[0031] After the mixture 2 has solidified, the granulated solid cosmetic composition 1 is removed from the mold 3. Thereafter, a powder is applied to prevent the granulated solid cosmetic composition 1 from sticking to each other.

[0032] This completes the production of solid cosmetic composition 1.

[0033] <Actions and Effects Obtained by This Embodiment> According to this embodiment having the above configuration, the solid cosmetic composition 1 is easily deformed when force is applied, and can be spread over the skin by rubbing it in. Furthermore, because the solid cosmetic composition 1 is a granular solid, the amount used per use can be set to, for example, one piece (granule), making it easier for the user to recognize the number of uses.

[0034] As a result, this embodiment has the effect of providing a solid cosmetic composition 1 that is easier to use than conventional compositions.

[0035] The configurations described in the above embodiments can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the present invention, and are not limited to the configurations of the above embodiments.

[0036] In the above embodiment, the solid cosmetic composition 1 is produced by pouring the liquid mixture 2 into a mold 3. However, it is also possible to employ a method in which the mixture 2 is poured into a long tubular mold 5 shown in FIG. 3, and after the mixture 2 has solidified, it is extruded from the mold 5 in the direction of arrow A and cut into granules to form the solid cosmetic composition 1.

[0037] In addition to the method of pouring the liquid mixture 2 into the mold 3 (see Figure 2) and the mold 5 (see Figure 3), a method of dropping the mixture drop by drop into water or dropping it onto a flat surface may also be used. [Explanation of symbols]
