Abstract
A skin-attaching sheet including an attaching portion configured for attaching to skin. The attaching portion includes a color-changeable layer that changes color following exposure to ultraviolet rays, and the attaching portion has a color difference (ΔE*ab) in an L*a*b* color system between before exposure and 10 seconds after exposure of 5 or more and 300 or less in a standard exposure test in which the attaching portion is exposed to ultraviolet rays in a moist state.
Claims15
A skin-attaching sheet comprising an attaching portion configured for attaching to skin,
- wherein the attaching portion comprises a color-changeable layer that changes color following exposure to ultraviolet rays, and
- wherein the attaching portion has a color difference (ΔE*ab) in an L*a*b* color system between before the exposure to ultraviolet rays and 10 seconds after the exposure to ultraviolet rays of 5 or more and 300 or less in a standard exposure test in which the attaching portion is exposed to ultraviolet rays under the following conditions in a moist state:
- moist condition:
- 5 mg/cm of water is applied on the attaching portion, and the attaching portion is left to stand for 5 minutes to moisten;
- wavelength range:
- 280 nm to 400 nm;
- exposure time:
- 10 seconds;
- and
- ultraviolet intensity:
- 1.2 mW/cm2;
- wherein the color-changeable layer contains a photochromic compound, and wherein the photochromic compound is one or more selected from a spiropyran compound, a spirooxazine compound, a bipyridine compound, a fulgide compound, a chromene compound, and derivatives thereof.
