An example of a higher alcohol is octyldodecanol.

As the solid fat, a vegetable solid fat is preferred. In particular, the solid fat preferably contains shea butter. Shea butter means a fat component obtained from seeds of shea butter (butysporum Parkii, Sapotaceae) and a content or an extract contained therein. Shea butter has cream-like properties and is therefore also called shea butter. The shea butter is solid at normal temperature, but the melting point of the shea butter is lower and is about 40-60 ℃. The shea butter of the present invention is not limited to shea butter, and may contain an extract extracted from shea butter and other substances except oil.

The liquid oil means a fat or oil that is in a liquid state at normal temperature. For example, the fat or oil having a melting point of 40 degrees or less is a liquid oil. Examples of the liquid oil include vegetable oils, animal oils, hydrocarbon oils, higher fatty acids, higher alcohols, silicone oils, esters, and glycerin derivatives.

As examples of the glycerin derivative, one or more of glycerin, Diglycerin (Diglycerin), Triglycerin (Triglycerin), tricaprylin, tripalmitin, and the like can be selected.

Palm oil is preferred as the liquid oil. The wax component contains palm oil, so that when the wax is melted, a smooth oil can be obtained, and the wax can be easily applied. As the liquid oil, a liquid oil containing other vegetable oil than palm oil may be used.

The wax component 3 preferably contains a thickener in an amount of 2 to 5 wt%. Since the wax component 3 contains a thickener, a mixture can be efficiently prepared from the solid ester and the liquid oil. As an example of the thickener, anhydrous silicic acid can be selected. As the anhydrous silicic acid, it is preferable to use an anhydrous silicic acid subjected to a silylation treatment.

The wax component 3 may also contain a fragrance. The massage wax of the present invention can also exert an aromatherapy effect due to volatilization of the perfume. As the perfume, any known perfume may be suitably selected for use, for example, angelica sinensis, Benzoin (Benzoin), origanum majorana essential oil (Oregano), Orange essential oil (Orange), Camomile (Camomile), cajeput essential oil (Cajuput), white rosin essential oil (Galbanum), Clary Sage essential oil (Clary Sage), Grapefruit essential oil (Grapefruit), Cypress essential oil (Cypress), Sandalwood essential oil (Sandalwood), cedar essential oil (Cedarwood), Citronella essential oil (Citronella), Cinnamon essential oil (Cinnamon), Jasmine essential oil (Jasmine), Juniper essential oil (Juniper), Ginger essential oil (Ginger), Brachya Lavandula Latifolia essential oil (Lavandula Latifolia), Spearmint essential oil (armmentum), Sage essential oil (Sage essential oil), Geranium essential oil (Geranium), Thyme essential oil (Thymus), tea tree essential oil (Thymus), Orange essential oil (Thymus), Thyme essential oil (Thymus), Thymus officinalis essential oil (Thymus officinalis), Thymus officinalis essential oil (Thymus officinalis), Thymus officinalis) and Pimenta essential oil (Thymus) may be oil (Thym, Basil essential oil (Basil), Patchouli essential oil (Patchouli), lemonanthus essential oil (Verbena), Rose essential oil (Rose), Rose essential oil (Palmarosa), Fennel essential oil (Fennel), bitter orange leaf essential oil (Petitgrain), vetiver essential oil (Vetivert), Peppermint essential oil (peppermine), Bergamot essential oil (Bergamot), Marjoram essential oil (Marjoram), Mandarin essential oil (Mandarin), Melissa essential oil (Melissa), Eucalyptus essential oil (Eucalyptus), Lavandin essential oil (Lavandin), Lavender essential oil (lander), Lemon essential oil (Lemon), Lemongrass essential oil (Lemongrass), Rosewood essential oil (Rosewood), Rosemary essential oil (rosemarmariy). The wax component may contain one kind of perfume or two or more kinds of perfumes. The content of the perfume may be, for example, 100ppm to 10% by weight, preferably 300ppm to 1% by weight.

The wax component may also contain ingredients that are nutritious to the skin. As the nutrient components, Trehalose (trehalase) and vitamins are exemplified. Trehalose is preferably contained because it has a moisturizing effect and a wound healing effect.

As the wick 4, a wick generally used for candles, preferably having a portion inserted into the wax component 3 and a portion protruding from the wax component 3, can be used. The portion extending from the wax component 3 is ignited so that the heat generated by the combustion is transferred to the wax component, causing it to melt. The core 4 may be a rod-like object, and in this case, the diameter of the core may be 1mm to 3mm, or 1.5mm to 2.5 mm.

In the present invention, the known wax production method is modified, that is, the massage wax is produced by using the modified wax production method. For example, first, the solid fat is heated to be liquid, and the liquid oil is added and stirred, whereby a mixture constituting the wax component can be obtained. The mixture forming the wax component is poured into a container in a liquid state, and then a core is inserted therein to cool and solidify the liquid wax component, thereby producing the massage wax of the present invention.

The invention of claim 2 relates to a method for producing massage oil. The method is a method for preparing massage oil by using the massage wax of the invention, and comprises the following steps: a step of preparing wax for massage, a step of igniting the core, and a step of melting the wax component by burning the core. By the above steps, massage oil at an appropriate temperature can be obtained (prepared). In the step of melting the wax component, the expression "melting the wax component" means that the wax component required for the massage is brought into a liquid state. The time required for the wax component to melt varies depending on the composition of the wax component. The time required for melting the wax component may be, for example, 1 second to 1 minute, and preferably 5 seconds to 30 seconds.

When the wick is ignited, the wax component located below the wick melts due to the heat of the flame. Since the wax of the present invention has a lower melting point than a conventional wax, the melted oil is accumulated in the upper part of the wax component.

As a method for obtaining a liquid massage oil, a method of melting wax by hot water is conceivable. However, if the wax is indirectly heated by hot water, the massage oil obtained by melting the wax is easily cooled, and thus, the method of blanching with hot water cannot maintain an appropriate temperature for a long time and cannot sufficiently exert the massage effect.

In contrast, the method of using wax according to the present invention is a method in which the wax is changed to a liquid state by igniting the core, and the obtained massage oil can be maintained at 38 degrees to 42 degrees for a long period of time, and such a temperature is an appropriate temperature. In such a method using wax, the amount of wax required for massage is only required to be melted to become oil, so that excessive consumption of wax is not caused. Moreover, the temperature of the oil is proper, so that the volatilization of the essential oil can be reduced to the minimum extent. Further, since the heated portion is not the entire wax, the deterioration (for example, oxidation) of the components due to heating can be minimized. In addition, the massage oil is smoothly and evenly coated under the appropriate temperature state, thereby easily implementing massage and improving the efficiency of massage implementation. In addition, since massage oil of an appropriate temperature is used, the permeability of the components or essential oils contained in the oil can be increased. Thus, these active ingredients can be rapidly absorbed into the human body (blood), and the active ingredients can be very effectively made to act. Further, the temperature is appropriate, so that a person receiving the massage can feel a very comfortable feeling, and the effective component rapidly and effectively acts, so that the massage effect can be improved.

The 3 rd aspect of the present invention relates to a massage method for beauty and using the massage oil of the present invention. The massage method comprises a step of preparing liquid massage oil and a step of massaging with the liquid massage oil.

In the method, a brand-new form of the massage wax is used, and therefore, the method is expected to give a high-grade feeling. Moreover, the flame can bring special visual effect, so that people receiving massage feel very relaxed. In the case of a wax component containing a fragrance, an aromatherapy effect is also brought about.

In the step of performing the massage, the massage may be directly poured on the skin of the person receiving the massage. Alternatively, the massage oil may be poured on the hands of the user and then the user may perform a massage. The temperature of the massage oil is substantially equal to the melting point of the wax component. The temperature does not reach above the melting point until the wax component is completely melted. The temperature of the massage oil is preferably a temperature at which a person receiving a massage can feel warm without causing a burn, and more specifically, is preferably 35 degrees to 45 degrees, and most preferably 37 degrees to 42 degrees.

The step of massaging preferably comprises the step of massaging along the line of skin. The skin line is a trace of the cell membrane that is produced during cell division. The running texture of the skin threads is the same as the fiber (bone collagen fiber) of the reticular layer of the dermis of the skin. Therefore, the skin is not excessively applied with the massage along the skin line, and the skin (epidermis or dermis) is not wrinkled, and the massage can provide a favorable promoting effect on the circulatory system of the blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and the like densely arranged in the reticular layer. In addition, the essential oil contained in the warm massage oil can reach the whole body quickly, thereby bringing about an extremely high massage effect.

Examples

Fig. 2 is a photograph of the produced massage wax. The container is a ceramic product and is about the size of a common drinking cup.

Table 1 shows the contents of the respective components in examples and comparative examples. As comparative examples, ordinary waxes (having a high melting point) and waxes having a low melting point were used. As the anhydrous silicic acid, one subjected to a silylation treatment is used.

The "oil (ester)" in table 1 means solid fat or liquid oil (ester or oil) other than shea butter and palm oil, and the ester or oil used in each example is as follows:

example 2: a substance prepared by mixing Barbados Aloe (Aloe Barbadensis) leaf extract with coconut oil

Example 3: mango seed oil

Example 4: hydrogenated soybean oil

Example 5: mixture of almond oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcisoil) and hydrogenated rape oil

Example 6: seed oil of Melaleuca Alternifolia

Example 7: cocoa butter

The "oil" described above also includes solid fats. In these examples and comparative examples, various perfumes were added in an amount of several hundred ppm.

TABLE 1 percentage of each component in examples and comparative examples

In table 1, the values other than the melting point temperature are expressed in weight percent. In addition, as comparative example 1, a commercially available wax was used, which does not contain shea butter and has a melting point of 82 degrees, and therefore, when the wax of comparative example 1 was used, it was burnt when it was in contact with the skin, and thus the wax of comparative example 1 could not be used for massage.

In comparative example 2, the melting point of the mixture was low and the mixture was not solid at ordinary temperature, that is, the wax component of the present invention could not be obtained by using the mixture of comparative example 2.

The massage wax in examples 1 to 7 had an appropriate melting point, and the massage oil obtained from such wax was applied to the skin, and the oil could be applied with good spreadability, and massage could be easily performed.

The massage wax of example 8 was not satisfactory in terms of spreadability of the massage oil obtained therefrom, but it can also be used for massage.

Possibility of industrial utilization

The invention can be well applied in the cosmetic industry.
