A steam heating mask having a mask body portion covering a nose and a mouth of a wearer when wearing the mask, a pair of ear hook portions provided at both left and right ends of the mask body portion, and a steam generator on the mask body portion, in which a proportion of an area occupied by the steam generator ranges from 30% to 80% with respect to an area of an entire surface of the mask body portion on a side of the wearer. The steam generator includes a first sheet on a surface of a steam generating portion on the side of the wearer with degree of air permeability being equal to or less than 7,000 sec/100 ml and a second sheet on a surface opposite to the surface of the steam generating portion with a degree of air permeability being greater than 8,000 sec/100 ml.

Steam heating mask

A heating implement () for body of the present embodiment includes a first sheet () having air-permeability; a second sheet (); a heating element (), intermediately arranged between the first sheet () and the second sheet () and containing an oxidizeable metal and a carbon component; and a first adhesive layer () and a second adhesive layer () provided in one of external surfaces of the first sheet () which is applied to a wearer side, in which a region without adhesive layer, in which none of the first adhesive layer () and the second adhesive layer () is disposed, is provided in at least a part of an external circumference section of the first sheet (), the following relations (a) and (b) are satisfied, and the heating implement is perfumed with a fragrance: (a) a mass ratio of a content of the fragrance to a content of the carbon component in the aforementioned heating implement (fragrance/carbon component) is equal to or higher than 0.2 and equal to or lower than 0.52; and (b) the content of the carbon component in the aforementioned heating implement is equal to or larger than 0.89 mg/cm.

Heating implement

A vapor heating implement satisfies: (A) the content of water in the heating implement is equal to or higher than 40 parts by mass and is equal to or lower than 80 parts by mass for 100 parts by mass of the oxidizable metal; (B) the content of the water-retention agent in the exothermic composition is equal to or higher than 0.3 parts by mass and is equal to or lower than 20 parts by mass for 100 parts by mass of the oxidizable metal; (C) the content of water contained in the exothermic layer (A) is equal to or higher than 8 parts by mass and is equal to or lower than 45 parts by mass for 100 parts by mass of the oxidizable metal; and (D) the content of water contained in the water-retention sheet (C) is from 15 to 30 mass % of the maximum water absorption of the water-retention sheet.

Vapor heating implement

A heat generating device includes a holder and a heat generating member that is enclosed in the holder and that contains an oxidizable metal, a reaction accelerator, an electrolyte, and water. The heat generating member contains a transdermally-absorbable medicament and a solvent for dissolving the transdermally-absorbable medicament. It is preferable that the solvent is at least one type of polyol selected from polyols that are in their liquid state at 25&#xb0; C. It is also preferable that the heat generating member further contains at least one type of solvent composed of an oily agent that is in its liquid state at 25&#xb0; C. It is also preferable that the heat generating member further contains a surfactant. It is also preferable that the polyol is polyethylene glycol.
