Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a beauty tool. [Background technology]

[0002] Examples of beauty tools that are used by contacting the skin of the face, etc. include packs and masks soaked with chemicals containing cosmetic ingredients such as moisturizers. In order to maximize the beauty effects of the chemicals that are in contact with such beauty tools, it is sometimes necessary to use them for a long period of time, specifically, for a relatively long period of time such as while sleeping. Specific examples of such beauty tools include masks described in Patent Document 1.

[0003] Patent Document 1 describes a mask comprising a mask body having a shape that covers at least the mouth and nostrils, a pair of holders that are connected to the sides of the mask body when the mask body covers the mouth and nostrils and hold the mask body in a state in which the mask body covers the mouth and nostrils, and a drug layer that is provided on the inside of the mask body and is made of a drug, and the amount of the drug applied to the inner surface of the mask body is 20 g / m 2 The above-mentioned mask is described. According to Patent Document 1, it is disclosed that it is possible to provide a mask that can prevent the drug from adhering to the bedding while sleeping, and can obtain a facial beauty effect with a feeling of use similar to that of a cosmetic mask. In addition, Patent Document 1 also discloses that the amount of the drug applied is 150 g / m 2 It is preferable that the thickness be less than or equal to the thickness of the diaper, and it is disclosed that this prevents the drug from adhering to the bedding while sleeping and ensures ease of breathing.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2019-10377 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] When a cosmetic tool soaked in a drug as described in Patent Document 1 is used by contacting the face, not only the cosmetic effect of the drug that is in contact, such as moisturizing, but also antiseptic properties are required. In particular, when the amount of drug applied is relatively small, such as in the case of a cosmetic tool used for a relatively long period of time, such as while sleeping, antiseptic properties are more important.

[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a beauty tool that can be used for long periods of time, such as while sleeping, and that has excellent antiseptic properties. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] As a result of extensive investigations, the present inventors have found that the above object can be achieved by the present invention described below.

[0008] The beauty tool according to one aspect of the present invention comprises a beauty tool body having a contact surface capable of contacting at least a part of a face, and a cosmetic product applied to the contact surface in an amount of 20 to 150 g / m. 2 and a medicinal agent applied to the skin by a solvent, the medicinal agent containing 60% by mass or more of a dihydric alcohol.

[0009] According to this configuration, the agent is applied to the contact surface that can come into contact with the face, i.e., the inner surface of the beauty tool body, so that the agent is prevented from adhering to bedding such as a futon while sleeping. 2 The relatively small amount of the drug applied, 150 g / m or less, prevents the drug from adhering to bedding while sleeping. 2 Since the amount of dust and other foreign matter contained in the cosmetic tool is relatively small (less than 100%), the user can breathe easily even when the cosmetic tool is used while covering the mouth and nostrils. For these reasons, the cosmetic tool can be used for long periods of time, such as while sleeping.

[0010] In such a beauty tool, the antiseptic properties can be enhanced by using a drug containing 60% by mass or more of a dihydric alcohol as the drug applied to the contact surface of the beauty tool body.

[0011] From the above, the beauty tool is a beauty tool that can be used for a long period of time, such as while sleeping, and has excellent antiseptic properties. The beauty tool can be used for a long period of time, such as while sleeping, and further, the application amount of the agent is 20 g / m 2 For the above reasons, the effects that the drug exerts when it comes into contact with the face, such as moisturizing properties, can be fully exerted.

[0012] In the beauty tool, the dihydric alcohol is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of propanediol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, and dipropylene glycol.

[0013] With this configuration, it is possible to further improve the antiseptic properties while maintaining excellent moisture retention.

[0014] In the beauty tool, the agent preferably contains two or more kinds of the dihydric alcohol.

[0015] With this configuration, it is possible to further improve the antiseptic properties while maintaining excellent moisture retention. Effect of the Invention

[0016] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a beauty tool that can be used for long periods of time, such as while sleeping, and that has excellent antiseptic properties. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0018] As described above, the inventors applied a drug amount of 150 g / m2 to the contact surface that comes into contact with the face. 2 It was found that the drug can be used for a long time such as during sleep by applying the drug in a relatively small amount as shown below. The inventors further studied and found that when the amount applied is small, the antiseptic properties may be insufficient. That is, a beauty tool such as a sheet mask, which is soaked with a drug containing a cosmetic ingredient such as a moisturizer and used by contacting the face, is thought to exhibit sufficient antiseptic properties by containing a preservative in the drug and increasing the amount of drug applied. According to the studies of the inventors, such a beauty tool cannot sufficiently suppress the adhesion of the drug to the bedding while sleeping, and it is difficult to use it all night. Furthermore, when the beauty tool is used with the mouth and nostrils covered, it becomes difficult to breathe, and in this respect, it is also difficult to use it all night. From these points, the inventors found that the antiseptic properties can be improved by examining the composition of the drug rather than increasing the amount of drug applied, and came up with the present invention as described below.

[0019] The beauty tool according to the present invention comprises a beauty tool body having a contact surface capable of contacting at least a part of the face, and a medicinal agent applied to the contact surface of the beauty tool body. As described above, such a beauty tool is firstly coated with the medicinal agent on the contact surface capable of contacting the face, i.e., the inner surface of the beauty tool body, thereby preventing the medicinal agent from adhering to bedding during sleep. The medicinal agent is applied to the contact surface in an amount of 20 to 150 g / m. 2 Thus, the application amount of the drug is 150 g / m 2 The relatively small amount of the drug applied, 150 g / m or less, prevents the drug from adhering to bedding while sleeping. 2 Since the amount of the agent applied is relatively small, at 20 g / m or less, it is easy to breathe even when the cosmetic tool is used while covering the mouth and nostrils. For these reasons, the cosmetic tool can be used for a long period of time, such as while sleeping. On the other hand, the amount of the agent applied is 20 g / m or less. 2 For the above reasons, the effects that the drug exerts when it comes into contact with the face, such as moisturizing properties, can be fully exerted. For these reasons, the cosmetic tool can be used for long periods of time, such as while sleeping, and further, the effects that the drug exerts when it comes into contact with the face, such as moisturizing properties, can be fully exerted.

[0020] In such a beauty tool, the antiseptic properties can be enhanced by using a chemical agent containing 60% by mass or more of a dihydric alcohol as the chemical agent applied to the contact surface of the beauty tool body, and thus the beauty tool can be used for a long period of time, such as while sleeping, and is a beauty tool with excellent antiseptic properties.

[0021] (First embodiment) A beauty tool 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 4. The beauty tool 1 is worn while sleeping, etc., and can provide the effects that are achieved by contacting the agent with the face, such as beauty effects such as moisturizing properties.

[0022] As described above, the beauty tool 1 includes a beauty tool body 11. The beauty tool 1 also includes a medicinal agent applied to a contact surface 11a of the beauty tool body 11 that can come into contact with at least a part of the face. That is, the beauty tool 1 includes a medicinal agent layer 40 (see FIG. 3) made of the medicinal agent. The beauty tool 1 may also include a fixing part 30 that fixes the beauty tool body 11. An example of the fixing part 30 is a fixing part formed of a pair of holding parts 31.

[0023] Fig. 1 is a side view of a beauty tool 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a front view of the beauty tool 1 shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view of a beauty tool main body 11 provided in the beauty tool 1 shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the beauty tool 1 shown in Fig. 1 when worn. Fig. 1 is a side view showing a cross section obtained by cutting the beauty tool 1 along a central straight line C (see Fig. 2).

[0024] Hereinafter, the direction connecting the pair of holding portions 31 (the left-right direction in FIG. 2) will be referred to as the width direction, and the direction perpendicular to the width direction (the up-down direction in FIGS. 1 and 2) will be referred to as the up-down direction.

[0025] The beauty tool body 11 provided in the beauty tool 1 contacts at least a part of the face as shown in Fig. 4. The beauty tool body 11 has a contact surface 11a capable of contacting at least a part of the face as shown in Fig. 3. Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 4, the contact surface that contacts at least a part of the face is provided so as to be capable of contacting at least the mouth and nostrils of the face. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the contact surface may be provided so as to be capable of contacting both eyes and their surroundings, or may be provided so as to be capable of contacting substantially the entire face.

[0026] As shown in Fig. 3, the beauty tool body 11 includes a fibrous body 10. The fibrous body 10 can be made of, for example, a nonwoven fabric or a woven fabric. In this embodiment, the fibrous body 10 has a two-layer structure consisting of an inner layer 10A and an outer layer 10B. The inner layer 10A is a layer that comes into contact with the face (skin), and the outer layer 10B is a layer that comes into contact with the outside air. The inner layer 10A and the outer layer 10B may be simply overlapped without being bonded to each other, except for a welded portion 12A and an outer edge portion described later.

[0027] The inner layer 10A may be, for example, a spunlace nonwoven fabric formed by a spunlace method. Examples of the spunlace nonwoven fabric include a spunlace split fiber composite nonwoven fabric, more specifically, a spunlace split fiber composite nonwoven fabric composed of 65% by mass of polyethylene terephthalate fiber and 35% by mass of polyamide fiber.

[0028] The beauty tool 1 includes a medicinal agent applied to the contact surface of the beauty tool body 11. That is, the medicinal agent is held in the fibrous body 10. Specifically, the medicinal agent is provided so that when the beauty tool 1 is fixed to the face and the contact surface 11a of the beauty tool body 11 comes into contact with the face, the medicinal agent comes into contact with the face at the contact surface 11a. The medicinal agent is held by at least the inner layer 10A of the fibrous body 10. Specifically, the medicinal agent is held by the inner layer 10A. More specifically, the medicinal agent is provided so as to constitute the medicinal agent layer 40 (for example, the area indicated by diagonal lines in FIG. 3) on the inner surface of the inner layer 10A. The medicinal agent may be impregnated in the inner layer 10A or may be attached to the inner surface of the inner layer 10A. For example, when the drug is impregnated into the inner layer 10A, the drug may be impregnated into not only the inner layer 10A but also the outer layer 10B. From the viewpoint of suppressing adhesion to bedding, it is preferable to impregnate the drug into the inner layer 10A and not impregnate the outer layer 10B. The drug may be, for example, in the form of a liquid or a cream.

[0029] The drug is not particularly limited as long as it contains 60% by mass or more of a dihydric alcohol. That is, the drug may be any drug that contains 60% by mass or more of a dihydric alcohol and exerts a favorable effect on the skin by contacting the skin of the face or the like.

[0030] The dihydric alcohol is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include propanediol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol such as 1,3-butylene glycol, and dipropylene glycol. The dihydric alcohol may be used alone or in combination of two or more. That is, the dihydric alcohol is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of propanediol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, and dipropylene glycol.

[0031] The content of the dihydric alcohol is 60% by mass or more, preferably 60 to 100% by mass, and more preferably 70 to 99.7% by mass, based on the drug. If the content of the dihydric alcohol is too low, the antiseptic properties tend to decrease. If the content of the dihydric alcohol is too high, the content of the trihydric alcohol such as glycerin becomes relatively too low, and the moisturizing properties tend to decrease. Therefore, by keeping the content of the dihydric alcohol within the above range, it is possible to improve the antiseptic properties while maintaining excellent moisturizing properties.

[0032] From the viewpoint of enhancing antiseptic properties, the drug more preferably contains two or more of the dihydric alcohols. For example, when the drug contains two dihydric alcohols, the mass ratio of one dihydric alcohol to the other dihydric alcohol is preferably 10:1 to 1:1.

[0033] The drug may contain components (other components) other than the dihydric alcohol, such as trihydric alcohol, preservatives, moisturizing agents other than dihydric alcohol and trihydric alcohol, whitening agents, astringents, skin protective agents, skin nutrients, and water.

[0034] The trihydric alcohol is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include glycerin. When the drug contains the trihydric alcohol, the content is preferably 40 to 80% by mass, more preferably 50 to 70% by mass, relative to the drug. The drug may not contain a trihydric alcohol, i.e., the content of the trihydric alcohol may be substantially 0% by mass.

[0035] The preservative is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include alkyl paraoxybenzoates such as methyl paraoxybenzoate and propyl paraoxybenzoate, phenoxyethanol, silver oxide, and iodopropynyl butylcarbamate. Among these, silver oxide and iodopropynyl butylcarbamate are preferred from the viewpoint of excellent resistance to mold and bacteria. The preservative may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds. Therefore, it is preferable that the drug further contains at least one of silver oxide and iodopropynyl butylcarbamate. The preservative may contain pentasodium diethylenetriaminepentaacetate, phytic acid, hydroxypropylcyclodextrin, and the like.

[0036] The moisturizing agent is a moisturizing agent other than dihydric alcohol and trihydric alcohol, and is not particularly limited. Examples of the moisturizing agent include collagen, hyaluronic acid such as hyaluronic acid fermentation liquid, ceramide, and squalane. Among these, hyaluronic acid such as hyaluronic acid fermentation liquid is preferable. The moisturizing agent may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds. The moisturizing agent may contain phenoxyethanol, disodium dihydrogen ethylenediaminetetraacetate dihydrate (EDTA-2Na), etc.

[0037] The whitening agent is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include vitamin C derivatives, hydroquinone, arbutin, etc. The whitening agents may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0038] The astringent is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include citric acid, alum, ethanol, etc. The astringent may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0039] As described above, the drug may contain water, but from the viewpoint of enhancing antiseptic properties, the content is preferably small. The water content is preferably 30% by mass or less, more preferably 5% by mass or less. In addition, the drug may not contain water, that is, the water content may be substantially 0% by mass.

[0040] The amount of the drug applied to the contact surface 11a is 20 to 150 g / m 2 40-120g / m 2 It is preferable that the thickness is 60 to 100 g / m 2 It is more preferable that the amount of application is too small. If the amount of application is too small, the effect of the drug coming into contact with the face, for example, the beauty effect such as moisturizing, etc., tends to be insufficient. If the amount of application is too large, the drug tends to be insufficiently prevented from adhering to bedding, and further, when the cosmetic tool 1 is used with the mouth and nostrils covered, breathing tends to be difficult. Therefore, if the amount of application is within the above range, the cosmetic tool 1 can be used for a long time such as while sleeping, and further, the effect of the drug coming into contact with the face, for example, the moisturizing, etc., can be fully exerted.

[0041] The outer layer 10B is disposed on the outside of the inner layer 10A. Examples of the outer layer 10B include nonwoven fabrics, more specifically, spunbond nonwoven fabrics formed by a spunbonding method. Examples of the spunbond nonwoven fabrics include spunbond nonwoven fabrics made of polypropylene. The outer layer 10B is hydrophobic. Specifically, the outer layer 10B is preferably hydrophobic to such an extent that when water is dropped onto the surface of the outer layer 10B, the dropped water is not absorbed. More preferably, the outer layer 10B is hydrophobic to such an extent that when water is dropped onto the surface of the outer layer 10B, the dropped water is repelled by the surface of the outer layer 10B to form water droplets, i.e., water repellency.

[0042] The pressure loss of the outer layer 10B is preferably smaller than the pressure loss of the inner layer 10A. The pressure loss corresponds to the air flow resistance. The pressure loss of the inner layer 10A is 1.0 to 2.5 mmH2O / cm 2 It is preferable that the pressure loss of the outer layer 10B is 0 mmH2O / cm 2 Greater than 0.5mmH2O / cm 2 The pressure loss of the beauty tool body 11 is preferably 1.3 to 3.1 mmH2O / cm 2 It is preferable that:

[0043] The pressure loss can be measured, for example, as follows: A humidity-conditioned sample is attached to a cylindrical sample holder having a diameter of 2.5 cm, and is sucked with a pump at a flow rate of 8 L / min. The pressure loss (mmH2O) at this time is measured, and the value (mmH2O / cm2) is calculated by dividing the pressure loss by the measurement area. 2 ) is the final result. Although currently out of print, this measurement is in accordance with standard test number MIL-M-36954C.

[0044] The bending hardness of the inner layer 10A is preferably smaller than that of the outer layer 10B. The bending hardness of the outer layer 10B is preferably 0.08 g / cm or more. The bending hardness of the inner layer 10A is preferably less than 0.08 g / cm. The bending hardness of the beauty tool body 11 is preferably 0.50 g / cm or less.

[0045] The bending hardness can be measured, for example, as follows. First, each sheet material constituting the inner layer 10A and the outer layer 10B of the beauty tool 1 is cut into a length of 150 mm and a width of 50 mm. The cut pieces are used as samples. The samples may be taken from the beauty tool 1, or may be taken from each sheet material constituting the inner layer 10A and the outer layer 10B of the beauty tool 1. When measuring the bending hardness of the beauty tool body 11, the bending moment per 1 cm width in the vertical direction is measured while applying a certain curvature to each sample in a state where the samples are stacked together, for example, using an automated pure bending tester such as KESFB-2AUTO-A (manufactured by Kato Tech Co., Ltd.). When measuring the bending hardness of each layer of the inner layer 10A and the outer layer 10B, the bending moment per 1 cm width in the vertical direction is measured using each sample in the same manner as in measuring the bending hardness of the beauty tool body 11. When the curvature K is 0.5 cm -1 ~1.5cm -1 The bending hardness can be measured by calculating the average slope (dM / dK) of the bending moment M at

[0046] Next, the shape of the beauty tool body 11 will be described with reference to Figures 1, 2 and 4. The beauty tool body 11 has a central covering portion 12, side covering portions 16, an inner covering portion 20 and an outer covering portion 22. As shown in Figure 2, the beauty tool body 11 has a shape that is symmetrical in the width direction with respect to a central straight line C (see Figure 2), which passes through the center of the beauty tool body 11 in the width direction and extends in the up-down direction.

[0047] The central covering part 12 is a part that covers the area of ​​the face around the mouth and nostrils. Specifically, the central covering part 12 includes a nose covering part 13 and a peri-mouth covering part 14. The nose covering part 13 is a part that covers the nose. The peri-mouth covering part 14 is a part that covers the area around the mouth. The peri-mouth covering part 14 is connected to the underside of the nose covering part 13.

[0048] 1, the central covering part 12 has a shape that is curved along the central straight line C (see FIG. 2) so as to be convex in a direction away from the holding part 31 when the beauty tool body 11 is in a folded state. A welded part 12A is formed on the edge of this curved part (the end part of the central covering part 12 that is located on the side farther from the holding part 31 when the beauty tool body 11 is in a folded state along the central straight line C (the end part on the left side in FIG. 1)).

[0049] The side covering parts 16 are connected to the sides of the central covering part 12. The side covering parts 16 are parts that cover the cheeks and chin of the face. The holding parts 31 are connected (welded) to the side covering parts 16.

[0050] The inner covering part 20 is connected to the side of the central covering part 12 and above the side covering part 16. The inner covering part 20 is a part that covers the area of ​​the face between the eyes and cheeks (area below the eyes) when the beauty tool body 11 is held in a state covering the mouth and nostrils by the fixing part 30. In this embodiment, the upper edge part of the inner covering part 20 in the vertical direction has a concave shape that is convex downward.

[0051] The outer covering portion 22 is disposed outside the inner covering portion 20 in the width direction and above the inner covering portion 20 in the vertical direction. The outer covering portion 22 is a portion that covers the corner of the eye and the area nearby when the cosmetic tool body 11 is held by the fixing portion 30 in a state in which the mouth and nostrils are covered. The upper edge of the outer covering portion 22 in the vertical direction has a shape that is curved so as to be convex upward. The inner end of the upper edge of the outer covering portion 22 in the vertical direction, which is in the width direction, has a shape that is curved so as to be convex downward. As shown in FIG. 1, the outer covering portion 22 has a shape that protrudes upward from a straight line HL that is perpendicular to a reference straight line L that is a straight line connecting the upper end and the lower end of the welded portion 12A and passes through the lower end of the upper edge of the inner covering portion 20 in the vertical direction. The upward protrusion dimension h of the upper edge of the outer covering part 22 from the straight line HL (the distance h between the straight line HH, which is perpendicular to the reference straight line L and passes through the upper end of the upper edge of the outer covering part 22, and the straight line HL) is preferably set to 5 mm or more, more preferably set to 5 mm or more and 30 mm or less, even more preferably set to 15 mm or more and 27 mm or less, and particularly preferably set to 18 mm or more and 24 mm or less. In the following, in this embodiment, an example in which the protrusion dimension h is set to 19 mm will be described.

[0052] The pair of holding parts 31 constituting the fixing part 30 are members for fixing the beauty tool body 11 so as to contact the face. The holding parts 31 are connected to the side parts of the beauty tool body 11 in a state in which the mouth and nostrils are covered. The pair of holding parts 31 hold the beauty tool body 11 in a state in which the beauty tool body 11 covers the mouth and nostrils. The holding parts 31 may be, for example, ear hooks. Each end 32 of the ear hooks is welded to the side covering part 16 of the beauty tool body 11. In this embodiment, the pair of holding parts 31 are each an ear hook. The end 32 (the welded part between each end 32 and the beauty tool body 11) is rectangular.

[0053] As described above, according to the beauty tool 1 of this embodiment, the medicinal agent is applied to the contact surface 11a of the beauty tool body 11, so that even if the beauty tool 1 is worn while sleeping, the medicinal agent is prevented from adhering to bedding. 2 The relatively small amount of the drug, 150 g / m or less, prevents the drug from adhering to bedding while sleeping. 2 Since the amount of the drug applied to the cosmetic tool 1 is relatively small, at 0.1 to 1.0 μm, breathability is also ensured. For these reasons, the cosmetic tool 1 can be used for a long period of time, such as while sleeping. That is, the cosmetic tool 1 can be maintained with the contact surface 11a of the cosmetic tool body 11 in contact with the face for a long period of time, such as while sleeping, by fixing the cosmetic tool body 11 to which the drug has been applied to the face with the fixing part 30 before sleeping.

[0054] In such a beauty tool 1, by using a drug containing 60% by mass or more of a dihydric alcohol as the drug applied to the contact surface 11a of the beauty tool body 11, it is possible to enhance the antiseptic properties.

[0055] From the above, the beauty tool 1 is a beauty tool that can be used for a long period of time, such as while sleeping, and has excellent antiseptic properties. 2 As a result, the effects of the medicine coming into contact with the face, such as moisturizing properties, can be fully exhibited. That is, it is possible to obtain a facial beauty effect while obtaining a feeling of use similar to that of a cosmetic mask. Furthermore, by using the beauty tool 1, the medicine can be continuously supplied to the face from the beauty tool body 11 for a long period of time during sleep, so that a greater beauty effect can be obtained.

[0056] The beauty tool 1 can be suitably used while lying down during times when the secretion of growth hormone is high and a high beauty effect is believed to be obtained, for example, between 10 pm and 2 am. Therefore, the beauty tool 1 according to this embodiment can achieve a higher beauty effect.

[0057] In the beauty tool 1 according to this embodiment, when the pair of holding parts 31 are hung on the ears (when the beauty tool body 11 is held in a state in which the mouth and nostrils are covered by the pair of holding parts 31), the part of the drug layer 40 located on the inner surface of the inner covering part 20 comes into contact with the area under the eyes, and the part of the drug layer 40 provided on the inner surface of the outer covering part 22 comes into contact with the outer corner of the eye and the area nearby. This provides a beauty effect on the area around the eyes, including the outer corner of the eye, which is in high demand for beauty treatments. Therefore, wearing this beauty tool 1 enhances the beauty effect on the face.

[0058] In the beauty tool 1 according to this embodiment, the upper edge of the outer covering part 22 has a curved shape that is convex upward. Therefore, compared to a case where the upper edge of the outer covering part 22 has a corner, the outer covering part 22 is less likely to get caught by a finger or the like. Therefore, peeling (turning up) of the outer covering part 22 is suppressed. In addition, the feeling of use of the beauty tool 1 is improved.

[0059] Furthermore, in the beauty tool 1 according to this embodiment, the outer covering part 22 has a shape that protrudes upward from the straight line HL by 5 mm or more. Therefore, the part of the drug layer 40 located on the inner surface of the outer covering part 22 effectively contacts the outer corner of the eye and the area nearby. This allows the drug to be preferably supplied to the outer corner of the eye and the area nearby. Therefore, wearing this beauty tool 1 further enhances the beauty effect on the face.

[0060] In the beauty tool 1 according to this embodiment, the inner end in the width direction of the upper edge of the outer covering part 22 in the vertical direction has a curved shape that is convex downward. Therefore, the adhesion of the parts of the drug layer 40 located on the inner surface of the inner covering part 20 and the outer covering part 22 to the eyes is improved. Therefore, the drug can be preferably supplied to the eyes. Therefore, wearing this beauty tool 1 further enhances the beauty effect on the face.

[0061] In the beauty tool 1 according to this embodiment, the upper edge of the inner covering part 20 has a concave shape that is downwardly convex, which improves the adhesion of the part of the drug layer 40 located on the inner surface of the inner covering part 20 to the eye area.

[0062] In the beauty tool 1, it is preferable that the outer layer 10B is hydrophobic. With such a beauty tool 1, evaporation of the medicinal agent is suppressed. Therefore, the beauty effect and feeling of use provided by the medicinal agent layer 40 are sustained for a long time. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the beauty effect for a long period of time, such as while sleeping.

[0063] In the beauty tool 1, the pressure loss of the outer layer 10B is preferably smaller than the pressure loss of the inner layer 10A. With such a beauty tool 1, when the inside of the beauty tool body 11 becomes negative pressure due to breathing while wearing the beauty tool 1, the inner layer 10A deforms toward the skin and comes into contact with the skin, thereby enhancing the beauty effect. In addition, the outer layer 10B is prevented from deforming inwardly during breathing. Therefore, a space is formed between the outer layer 10B and the inner layer 10A during breathing, ensuring ease of breathing.

[0064] In the beauty tool 1, it is preferable that the bending stiffness of the inner layer 10A is smaller than the bending stiffness of the outer layer 10B. With such a beauty tool 1, deformation of the inner layer 10A toward the skin during breathing is promoted, further enhancing the beauty effect.

[0065] In this embodiment, an example in which the beauty tool body 11 has a two-layer structure of the inner layer 10A and the outer layer 10B has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The beauty tool according to the present invention may have the beauty tool body made of one fibrous body (e.g., nonwoven fabric, etc.), may have two fibrous bodies as in the first embodiment, or may have three or more fibrous bodies. In the second embodiment, a beauty tool in which the beauty tool body is made of three fibrous bodies will be described below.

[0066] Second embodiment Next, a beauty tool 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 5. In the second embodiment, only the parts different from the first embodiment will be described, and the description of the same structure, action, and effect as the first embodiment will be omitted.

[0067] In the beauty tool 1 according to this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 5, the beauty tool main body 11 includes the fibrous body 10. The fibrous body 10 has a three-layer structure including an inner layer 10A, an outer layer 10B, and an intermediate layer 10C. The intermediate layer 10C is provided between the inner layer 10A and the outer layer 10B. The layers 10A to 10C are overlapped without being bonded to each other except for the welded portion 12A and the outer edge portion. Fig. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing the beauty tool main body 11 included in the beauty tool 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0068] The intermediate layer 10C may be, for example, an air-through nonwoven fabric formed by an air-through method, etc. Also, the air-through nonwoven fabric may be, for example, an air-through nonwoven fabric made only of polypropylene, etc.

[0069] In the beauty tool 1, when the inner layer 10A is impregnated with the agent, the agent may be impregnated not only in the inner layer 10A but also in the intermediate layer 10C, or the outer layer 10B. From the viewpoint of suppressing adhesion to bedding, it is preferable to impregnate the inner layer 10A and the intermediate layer 10C with the agent without impregnating the outer layer 10B with the agent, and it is more preferable to impregnate only the inner layer 10A with the agent.

[0070] In the beauty tool 1, it is preferable that the pressure loss of the intermediate layer 10C is smaller than that of the outer layer 10B, and the pressure loss of the outer layer 10B is smaller than that of the inner layer 10A. In such a beauty tool 1, the intermediate layer 10C can suppress the inward deformation of the outer layer 10B without substantially impeding the ventilation from the outer layer 10B to the inner layer 10A during breathing. Therefore, a space is more reliably formed between the outer layer 10B and the inner layer 10A during breathing, further ensuring ease of breathing. The pressure loss of the intermediate layer 10C is 0 mmH2O / cm 2 Greater than 0.3mmH2O / cm 2 The following is the result.

[0071] Third embodiment Next, a beauty tool 1 according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 6 to 8. In the third embodiment, only the parts different from the first embodiment will be described, and the same structure, action and effect as in the first embodiment will not be described. Fig. 6 is a side view of the beauty tool 1 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 7 is a front view of the beauty tool 1 shown in Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram showing the beauty tool 1 shown in Fig. 6 when worn.

[0072] In the beauty tool 1 according to this embodiment, the shape of the beauty tool body 11 in the third embodiment is different from that of the beauty tool body 11 in the first embodiment. As shown in Fig. 6, the shape of the beauty tool body 11 in the third embodiment is different from that of the central covering portion 12 and the inner covering portion 20 in particular in the first embodiment.

[0073] The boundary between the nose covering portion 13 and the mouth covering portion 14 of the central covering portion 12 has a recessed shape from the nose covering portion 13 toward the fixing portion 30 (ear hook portion) when the beauty tool body 11 is folded along the central straight line C. Therefore, when the pair of ear hook portions are hooked on the ears, the boundary between the nose covering portion 13 and the mouth covering portion 14 is easily fitted closely to the area under the nose, thereby improving the beauty effect on the area under the nose.

[0074] The inner covering portion 20 is formed in a substantially straight line. In this embodiment, the upward protrusion dimension h of the outer covering portion 22 from the straight line HL is set to 22.5 mm.

[0075] The above-described embodiments disclosed herein should be considered to be illustrative and not restrictive in all respects. The scope of the present invention is indicated by the claims, not by the description of the above-described embodiments, and further includes all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims.

[0076] For example, in the third embodiment as well, the shape of the upper edge of the inner covering part 20 may be set to be the same as that of the first embodiment.

[0077] The pair of holding parts 31 is not limited to ear hooks. For example, the holding parts 31 may be adhesive parts that can be attached to the face, and the adhesive parts may be structured to protrude outward from the sides of the beauty tool body 11 in the width direction, or may be structured to form part of the beauty tool body 11.

[0078] For example, in the present invention, the beauty tool for use while sleeping may further include members other than the beauty tool body and the fixing part.

[0079] The beauty tool according to the present invention can be used for a long time such as while sleeping, but this does not exclude the use of the beauty tool during periods other than while sleeping. For example, the beauty tool may be worn at a time earlier than when the user goes to bed, and the user may spend some time wearing the beauty tool before going to bed. In addition, the beauty tool may be worn while going to bed, and the beauty tool may be continued to be worn even after waking up.

[0080] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to these examples. EXAMPLES

[0081] In this example, the antiseptic properties when a drug is applied to the nonwoven fabric constituting the main body of the beauty tool provided in the beauty tool were examined.

[0082] [Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3] In this example, each component contained in the drug used will be described.

[0083] (Trihydric alcohol) Glycerin: Glycerin (concentrated glycerin for cosmetics manufactured by Sakamoto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) Water: Purified water (JP grade) (Dihydric alcohol) DPG: Dipropylene glycol (DPG manufactured by SKC Co., Ltd.) PG: Propylene glycol (PG manufactured by AGC Inc.) BG: 1,3-butylene glycol (1,3-BG manufactured by Daicel Corporation) (Moisturizer: Moisturizer other than dihydric alcohol and trihydric alcohol) Fermented hyaluronic acid-K: A mixture of 99.4% by mass of hyaluronic acid fermentation liquid, 0.5% by mass of phenoxyethanol, and 0.1% by mass of disodium dihydrogen ethylenediaminetetraacetate dihydrate (EDTA-2Na) (Fermented hyaluronic acid-K manufactured by Technoble Co., Ltd.) (Preservatives) Mekxance-M: Methylparaben (Mekxance-M manufactured by Ueno Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) The above components were mixed to obtain the composition (mass%) shown in Table 1. In this way, the drug was obtained. The obtained drug was applied to one side of a 5 cm square nonwoven fabric (spunlace split fiber composite nonwoven fabric consisting of 65 mass% polyethylene terephthalate fiber and 35 mass% polyamide fiber, D0822 manufactured by Kuraray Kuraflex Co., Ltd.) in an amount of 60 g / m 2 Thus, a sample was obtained. The sample thus obtained was evaluated in the following antiseptic test.

[0084] [Preservative (initial product)] The sample obtained immediately after the above, that is, the initial product, was used. C. albicans, A. brasiliensis, and P. citrinum were inoculated to the surface of this sample (initial product) on the side on which the agent was applied in an amount of 10 to the power of 7. After that, the number of bacteria was measured after culturing for 4 weeks in an environment with a temperature of 20 to 30°C and a relative humidity of 70 to 100% RH. As a result, when the number of bacteria was reduced by two orders of magnitude or more from the initial inoculated number of bacteria, it was evaluated as "≦1%". When the number of bacteria was reduced by one order of magnitude or more but less than two orders of magnitude from the initial inoculated number of bacteria, it was evaluated as "≦10%". When the number of bacteria was reduced by less than one order of magnitude compared to the initial inoculated number and the proliferation of bacteria could not be confirmed, it was evaluated as "≦100%". When the number of bacteria was reduced by less than one order of magnitude compared to the initial inoculated number and the proliferation of bacteria could be confirmed, it was evaluated as "≦100%". If it is "≦1%", it is evaluated as having high preservative properties (preservative effect), if it is "≦10%," it can be evaluated as having preservative properties (preservative effect). If it is "≦100%," it is evaluated as having preservative properties (preservative effect) although it is lower than "≦10%," and if it is "100%≦", it is evaluated as having no preservative properties (preservative effect).

[0085] [Preservative (changed over time)] The sample obtained as described above was left for one month in an environment of 50°C temperature and 30% RH relative humidity, i.e., the deteriorated product was used. Except for using the deteriorated product instead of the initial product, it was evaluated in the same manner as in the above "Anti-corrosiveness (initial product)". Note that this deteriorated product corresponds to a sample 1.5 years after production.

[0086] The results of the evaluation of the preservative properties are shown in Table 1.

[0087] [Table 1]

[0088] As can be seen from Table 1, when a drug containing 60% by mass or more of a dihydric alcohol was used (Examples 1 to 4), the antiseptic properties were higher than when it was not (Comparative Examples 1 to 3). [Explanation of symbols]
