Description
ORGANIC FOAMING AGENT AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME
Field of the Invention This invention relates to the field of organic foaming agents, in particular to a foaming agent containing primarily soap berries and the process for making a foaming agent from primarily soap berries.
Background of the Invention It is known in the prior art to employ a soap berry within a a detergent compound as for example described in United States Patent No.: 360,948 which issued to Brentini on April 12, 1887 for his invention entitled Washing Compound.
As also described in United States Patent No. 6, 355, 816 which issued to Dobbins on March 12, 2002 for a Process For Isolating Saponins From Soy Bean-Derived Materials, it is also known that soapwort, soaproot and soap-berry, the latter identified as sapindus mukurossi, have detergent properties and have been employed as foaming agents.
What is neither taught nor suggested, and which it is an object to the present invention to provide, is an organic foaming agent comprising primarily soap berries extract and a corresponding process for replacing chemical lathering agents in shampoo with the extract from so-called soap-berries to replace the use for example of chemical lathering agents containing sulphates.
Detailed Description of Embodiments of the Invention Applicant picked eighteen soap-berries late in the soap-berry season to conduct an experiment upon which the present invention and this disclosure is based.
The eighteen soap-berries were juiced to extract the fluid from the berries and the fluid than left to age approximately six hours at 15 degrees C. It was found that the aged soap-berry juice would lather when beaten with a whisk.
A small amount of the soap-berry juice was combined with approximately with two tablespoons commercially available non-lathering organic shampoo, and in particular organic shampoo sold under the trade-mark Natures Formula, although other fully organic non-lathering shampoos will work. The combination of the soap-berry juice with the non-lathering organic shampoo produced a nicely lathering shampoo for use on human hair.
In a further experiment, some of the soap-berry juice was combined with. juice extracted from bull rush root, which applicant believes, without intending to be limiting may contain the starch of bull rush root. The combination of bull rush root juice and extract from the soap-berries provided what in applicant's opinion was an improved foaming agent in that the foaming agent appeared to improve the soapiness, texture and stability of the foam produced when the mixture was lathered with non-lathering organic shampoo.
Prior to mixing the bull rush root juice with the soap-berry juice, the bull rush root juice was aged approximately twelve hours at 15 degrees C.
Further advantageously applicant has determined that a strong tea extracted from horse tail, and let stand for six hours at 15 degrees C, may be combined in the lathering agent formulation along with the extracts of soap-berry and bull rush root.
One further commercial advantage to using soap-berries and the extract therefrom as set out above as a lathering agent in organic shampoo, is that in regions which have encountered forest fires or the larger scale so-called wild fires, soap-berries may be readily planted as a crop in what is often otherwise to be left as a relatively worthless waste-land of burnt tree trunks and the resulting tangle of wind fall. Whereas in the aftermath of forest fires the affected regions have often been left for quite some time before any attempt is made to reforest by re-planting if at all, and otherwise the area is often left for nature to begin

Whereas in the aftermath of forest fires the affected regions have often been left for quite some time before any attempt is made to reforest by re-planting if at all, and otherwise the area is often left for nature to begin
2 the slow process of natural re-growth of plants and trees, the soap-berry bushes may be easily planted and the soap-berries harvested to produce readily available crop from such devastated areas and thus produce relatively inexpensive ingredients to replace chemical lathering agents in organic shampoo.
As will be apparent to those skilled in the art in the light of the foregoing disclosure, many alterations and modifications are possible in the practice of this invention without departing from the spirit or scope thereof.
