Abstract: Provided is a device useful for facial beauty treatment by efficiently releasing ligaments, SMAS fascia, and the like, and having a compact structure with multiple functions and an ease for a user to use at home. The present invention provides a device (1) that has a massage function by rolling of a roller (3), a suction function by a suction portion (4), and a stimulation function by outputting a stimulation signal by a conductive element (34) fixed to a bottom surface (23) or a roller (3), and can efficiently and reliably implement an effect such as releasing the ligaments such as a facial skin of a user. In addition, since a circumferential protrusion (61) is formed on the peripheral edge of an opening portion (24) for performing suction so as to surround the opening portion (24), it is possible to enhance confidentiality during suction by the suction portion (4), and the effect described above can be efficiently exhibited.

Abstract: To provide a phosphatidylcholine transdermal absorption preparation containing phosphatidylcholine in an adhesive layer. A phosphatidylcholine transdermal absorption preparation has a configuration in which an adhesive layer formed on at least one side of a support contains phosphatidylcholine, an adhesive component, and a lipophilic component, and thus the preparation becomes a patch-type transdermal absorption preparation which acts as a fat-decreasing agent which contains phosphatidylcholine and can exert an effect that local obesity such as subcutaneous fat is dissolved and fat is decreased by transdermal absorption of phosphatidylcholine as the preparation is pasted to the skin of a human body since phosphatidylcholine can be stably present in the adhesive layer and has an advantage due to the patch dosage form that the preparation can be fixed to the affected area and is more favorably handled as compared to liquid preparations and the like.

Abstract: A deep water drawing step of drawing deep water that exists in a deep region of the sea to a surface region of the sea with an upwelling pipe (1); and a phytoplankton culturing step of culturing the phytoplankton in the upwelling pipe (1) are included to produce, as a basic producer of a food chain, a living marine resource, such as fishes and shellfishes, with phytoplankton produced in the phytoplankton culturing step.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cosmetic device having a massage function by rolling a roller disposed to a main body part, a suction function with a suction unit, and a stimulation function by outputting a stimulation signal with the roller. Since these functions can be combined and performed in use, the cosmetic device can synergistically exert an effect of dissolving cellulite of user's skin and releasing fascia. While the cosmetic device is multi-functional, the main body part has a compact structure with the suction unit inside and the roller on a bottom surface that are arranged and integrated, as well as an insertion part formed by a space that can be inserted with a user's hand, and a placement part that can be placed with a palm of the user's hand inserted into the insertion part, allowing the cosmetic device to be easily used by holding with one hand.

Abstract: A water repellency-imparted fiber article (10) of the present invention includes: a fiber article (1) having a skin-facing surface (1a) and a non-skin-facing surface (1b); and a water repellency-imparting agent attached to the fiber article (1). The fiber article (1) contains a water-absorbent fiber and has water absorbency in terms of a water absorption time of 30 seconds or less as measured in accordance with the dropping method of JIS L-1907. The water repellency-imparted fiber article (10) has a non-skin-side water-repellent region (2) on the non-skin-facing surface (1b) of the fiber article (1), the non-skin-side water-repellent region (2) including a portion to which the water repellency-imparting agent is attached.
