Description

Cosmetic composition carrier with improved carrying capacity and cosmetic goods comprising the same {Cosmetic composition carrier having improved carrying capacity and Cosmetic goods comprising the same}

The present invention relates to a carrier for a cosmetic composition with improved carrying capacity and a cosmetic device containing the same.

Conventionally, low-viscosity cosmetic compositions, especially liquid cosmetic compositions, were mainly distributed and stored in vacuum containers, pump containers, or glass containers. However, these containers have the disadvantage of being inconvenient to carry. Accordingly, as the need to easily apply or touch up makeup even when going out increases, there is a demand for cosmetic tools that are convenient to carry.

Recently, a cosmetic tool made easy to carry by carrying a low-viscosity cosmetic composition on a carrier has been developed. In these cosmetic products, the low-viscosity cosmetic composition is located within the pores of the porous carrier, but the ability to support the cosmetic is not sufficient due to the limit of the pore volume. Additionally, in the case of high viscosity cosmetics, there is a problem in that it is difficult to support them in the pores of the carrier.

The carrier 10 has an overall thick disk shape, and the first layer 110 and the second layer 120 are stacked.

The carrier 10 carries the cosmetic composition. The cosmetic composition is an emulsified composition, specifically, a water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) type or an oil-in-water-in-oil (O/W/O) type or a water-in-oil (W/O) type or an oil-in-water (O/W) type. It may be a composition, a dispersion composition, or specifically an oil-dispersion or water-dispersion composition. Additionally, the cosmetic composition may be in a multi-emulsion form, for example, a W/O/W or O/W/O type composition.

The cosmetic composition may be, for example, a liquid composition or a solid composition, and in the case of a solid composition, it may include a powder composition such as powder. In addition, cosmetic compositions include, for example, a makeup primer composition, a makeup base composition, a foundation composition, a concealer composition, a lip composition, a lip liner composition, an eyebrow composition, an eye shadow composition, an eye liner composition, and a blusher. It may be formulated as a composition for blusher, a composition for sunscreen, or a composition for skin care, but is not limited thereto.

The first layer 110 and the second layer 120 may be made of a porous material. For example, a synthetic porous material may be foam. The foam is NBR (acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber), BR (Butadiene Rubber), SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber), NR (Natural Rubber), wet urethane, dry urethane, polyether, polyester, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) ), latex, silicone, SIS (Styrene Isoprene Styrene), SEBS (Styrene Ethylene Butylene Styrene), PVA (PolyVinyl Alcohol), silicone elastomer, nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, and neoprene. It may be possible, but it is not limited to this. The expanded foam may be expanded by a dry foaming method or a wet foaming method, and the expanded foam may contain fibers. Additionally, natural porous materials can be used as sponges, konjac, sponges, cellulose, bio-cellulose, or scoria.

Additionally, the first layer 110 and the second layer 120 may be made of synthetic or natural fiber materials. Natural fibers include, but are not limited to, antibacterial cellulose, natural pulp, loofah, ramie, rami (plant), ayate (rough skin of agave or palm tree), algae, and bamboo. ), sisal, sisal terry (sisal woven to absorb moisture well like a towel), konjac, Tencel(TM) fiber fabric (Tencel fiber with natural antibacterial function made from eucalyptus trees, cotton It may be made of at least one of felt, tencel cotton, and manila hemp (abaca fiber), or may include at least one of felt.

The first layer 110 and the second layer 120 may be made of the same material or different materials, and even if they are made of the same material, physical properties, such as foaming degree or surface characteristics, may be different. Although not limited to this, the first layer 110 and the second layer 120 are made of dry polyurethane foam, and the elasticity of the second layer 120 may be higher than that of the first layer 110. The difference in elasticity between the two layers 110 and 120 can be adjusted by varying the degree of foaming.

The first layer 110 may be provided with higher cosmetic affinity than the second layer 120. In this case, the movement of cosmetics from the second layer 120 to the first layer 110 may be promoted, thereby smoothing the discharge of cosmetics. Cosmetic affinity can be adjusted by material, surface treatment, and/or addition of additives.

The first layer 110 may be provided at a higher density (smaller pore space) than the second layer 120. The second layer 120 has improved cosmetic carrying capacity due to the pore space, and the first layer 110 is made of a fine cell material to achieve uniform discharge characteristics. In this case, the first layer 110 may be latex foam, and the second layer 120 may be polyurethane foam.

The outer surface of the first layer 110 is a discharge surface through which cosmetics are discharged. The discharge side may be flocked with cotton, cotton/acrylic, cotton/acrylic/polyester, cotton/rayon, acrylic, polyamide, nylon, polyester, nylon/polyester or silk. “Flocking” refers to a processing method of adhering extremely short fibers (flocks) to foam, etc.

The cosmetic composition is carried in the pores formed in the first layer 110 and the second layer 120, and the cosmetic composition is discharged to the outside through the discharge surface of the first layer 110.

In the first embodiment, an accommodation space is formed between the first layer 110 and the second layer 120 as shown in FIG. 2. In FIG. 2, the first layer 110 and the second layer 120 are shown spaced apart for convenience of explanation, but the first layer 110 and the second layer 120 may be in close contact or attached, especially It may be closely adhered or attached continuously or discontinuously along the edge.

The receiving space is formed by manufacturing the inner surface of the second layer 120, that is, the surface facing the first layer 110, into an uneven shape. The receiving space has a circular plane as shown in Figure 3 and is separated from each other and arranged radially. In another embodiment, the accommodation space may have various planes, such as a square plane, and may be connected to each other in a grid shape, etc.

The thickness d2 of the first layer 110/thickness d1 of the carrier 10 may be 0.01 to 0.3, 0.05 to 0.3, or 0.1 to 0.3. The receiving space thickness (d4)/thickness (d1) of the carrier 10 may be 0.01 to 0.8, 0.01 to 0.5, 0.01 to 0.2, 0.05 to 0.2, or 0.1 to 0.2.

Meanwhile, the receiving space may be located close to the discharge surface. It is not limited to this, but based on the volume of the receiving space, 50% or more, 60% or more, 70% or more, 80% or more or 90% or more is 10%, 15% or more of the thickness (d1) of the carrier 10 from the discharge surface. It can be located within %, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35% or 40% . Although not limited to this, more than 50% of the receiving space may be within 20% of the thickness d1 of the carrier 10 from the discharge surface.

The total volume of the accommodation space is 10% to 80%, 10% to 60%, 10% to 40%, 20% to 80%, and 20% of the total pore volume of the first layer 110 and the second layer 120. It may be from 60% to 60% or from 20% to 40%. Or the total volume of the receiving space is 5% to 50%, 5% to 40%, 5% to 30%, 5% to 20%, 5% to 10%, 10% to 50% of the total volume of the carrier 10. , 10% to 40%, 10% to 30%, or 10% to 20%.

The movement of the cosmetic composition in the present invention will be explained with reference to Figure 4.

Cosmetics are contained in the pores of the first layer 110 and the second layer 120, and in particular, a large amount is contained in the receiving space. The receiving space has a larger empty space than the surrounding pores, so the cosmetic carrying capacity of the carrier 10 is improved.

When the cosmetic is discharged to the outside through the discharge surface, the concentration of the cosmetic in the first layer 110 is lowered (i.e., the amount of cosmetic is reduced), and the cosmetic contained in the receiving space is transferred to the first layer 110 close to the discharge surface. supplied. Additionally, because the receiving space is located close to the discharging surface, when the user presses the discharging surface using the applicator, the cosmetics located in the receiving space can be easily discharged through the applicator.

When cosmetics are in liquid form, they tend to clump together. According to the present invention, cosmetics are concentrated in a receiving space that has a larger space than the pore. Accordingly, when the cosmetics concentrated in the receiving space are discharged to the outside and an empty space is created in the receiving space, the cosmetics located in the core of the surrounding second layer 120 move to the receiving space due to the tendency to clump together.

As a result, cosmetics are continuously supplied to the accommodation space. In addition, the use efficiency of the cosmetic material in the carrier 10 (the amount actually discharged and used compared to the supported amount) is improved due to the property of the cosmetic material moving into the receiving space.

The first embodiment described above can be modified in various ways. For example, the first layer 110 may be made of a material other than foam, but is not limited to this, and may be made of a polyurethane film. Additionally, the accommodation space may be provided by deforming the inner surface of the first layer 110, and both the inner surface of the first layer 110 and the upper surface of the second layer 120 may be deformed. Additionally, at least one of the first layer 110 and the second layer 120 may have a multi-layer structure.

The shape of the carrier 10 is not limited to a thick disk shape, and may be of other plate shapes (square plate shape, triangular plate shape, etc.), and may also be of other shapes other than the plate shape.

Hereinafter, carriers according to second to ninth embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 12.

When discharging cosmetics, the user presses the discharge surface using an applicator such as a puff, mainly pressing the center of the carrier 10. Therefore, the accommodation space can be varied between the center where cosmetics are discharged and the peripheral area where cosmetic discharge is limited, and the second to fifth embodiments differ in the arrangement of the accommodation spaces at the center and the periphery.

According to the second embodiment shown in Figure 5, the receiving space is arranged only in the center where the cosmetics are mainly pressurized and discharged.

According to the third embodiment shown in Figure 6, the accommodation space located in the center is provided with a large width.

According to the fourth embodiment shown in Figure 7, the accommodation space is concentrated in the center.

According to the fifth embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the accommodation space is provided deeper.

According to the second to fifth embodiments described above, the density of the accommodation space is high at the center of the discharge surface, that is, the volume of the accommodation space is large. Accordingly, the possibility that cosmetics located in the receiving space are discharged and used is further improved, thereby increasing cosmetic use efficiency.

In the sixth embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the surface of the second layer 120 is provided in a wave shape with continuous valleys and ridges, and a receiving space is formed at the valley location. If the sixth embodiment is followed, alignment between the first layer 110 and the second layer 120 becomes simple.

According to the seventh embodiment shown in FIG. 10, a first coating layer 111 is provided on the lower surface of the first layer 110. A second coating layer 121 is provided on the upper surface of the second layer 120. The receiving space is surrounded by the first coating layer 111 and the second coating layer 121.

The coating layers 111 and 112 may be prepared to have cosmetic-repellent properties or cosmetic-friendly properties, and the first coating layer 111 and the second coating layer 112 may have opposite properties. Cosmetic repellent properties or cosmetic affinity properties may vary depending on the components of the cosmetic, and the cosmetic affinity properties may be, for example, hydrophilic or lipophilic . Although not limited to this, both the first coating layer 111 and the second coating layer 112 may have cosmetic-friendly characteristics. In this case, the movement of the cosmetic to the receiving space becomes smooth, and the discharge of the cosmetic is physically carried out by the applicator. It is done by pressure. As another example, high cosmetic affinity characteristics may be provided only to the first coating layer 111 to guide the cosmetic toward the discharge surface. For example, if the base of the cosmetic is a silicone oil component, high cosmetic-friendly properties can be imparted through silicone coating.

In another embodiment, only one of both coating layers 111 and 112 may be formed. In another embodiment, at least one of both coating layers 111 and 112 may change the surface properties of the carrier 10 surrounding the receiving space through surface treatment without a separate layer. Surface treatment is not limited to this, but may be performed by injecting a separate chemical into the surface of the carrier 10 surrounding the receiving space.

In another embodiment, fibers may be formed on the surfaces of the first layer 110 and the second layer 120 surrounding the receiving space. Fibers can move cosmetics in a specific direction through the capillary effect.

According to the eighth embodiment shown in FIG. 11, the carrier 10 has a three-layer structure of a first layer 110, a second layer 120, and a third layer 130. The second layer 120 has a convex-convex shape on both sides, and the carrier 10 has an upper receiving space and a lower receiving space.

Cosmetics carried close to the surface opposite to the discharge surface of the carrier 10 are not easily discharged through the discharge surface. Therefore, if the discharge of cosmetics is not smooth on the discharge side, the carrier 10 may be used upside down.

According to the eighth embodiment, when the user turns the carrier 10 over and discharges the cosmetic through the second discharge surface of the third layer 130, the cosmetic is discharged smoothly due to the lower receiving space.

In other embodiments, the third layer 130 may be excluded. In this case, the lower receiving space can play a role in increasing the carrying capacity (carrying capacity) of the cosmetic.

According to the ninth embodiment shown in FIG. 12, the second layer 120 is composed of two layers 120a and 120b. The accommodation space of each layer (120a, 120b) is formed facing the same direction. According to the ninth embodiment, when only the first discharge surface is used, the cosmetic carrying capacity is improved, and when the second discharge surface is also used, the manufacturing process is facilitated by stacking two layers (120a, 120b) of the same shape.

Hereinafter, a cosmetic tool according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14.

In this embodiment, the applicator 50 has a handle belt, but in other embodiments, the handle belt may be omitted. The applicator 50 delivers the cosmetic of the cosmetic unit 40 to the user's skin through the application surface.

The seating portion 60 seats the applicator 50 when the cases 20 and 30 are closed and also serves to seal the cosmetic unit 40 to reduce exposure to cosmetics and air. The seating portion 60 may be made of plastic.

In the above cosmetic tool (1), components such as hinges for opening and closing and connecting each component were omitted.

In such a cosmetic tool 1, the user opens the cases 20 and 30, holds the applicator 50 in his hand, and opens the seating portion 60 to expose the cosmetic unit 40. Thereafter, the user contacts the applicator 50 with the discharge surface of the carrier 10 of the cosmetic unit 40 to absorb the cosmetic into the applicator 50 and then performs makeup while contacting the cosmetic with the skin. When makeup is completed, the user places the applicator 50 on the seating portion 60 again and closes the cases 20 and 30.

When such a cosmetic tool (1) is used, the cosmetic carrying capacity of the carrier (10) is improved by the receiving space formed in the carrier (10). In addition, the cosmetic material is discharged smoothly due to the accommodation space, and the use efficiency of the contained cosmetic material is improved. Additionally, cosmetics with high viscosity can be easily contained due to the accommodation space.
