Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a face wash using no surfactant. In more detail, acidified epidermis, which has been acidified by the attachment of tobacco smoke and car exhaust gas, and a surfactant that has adhered to the skin and has not fallen off when washed with soap etc. It relates to an inorganic facial cleanser that can be removed together with the epidermis.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As represented by soap, a conventional face wash always contains a surfactant. Detergency is determined by this surfactant, but if you enhance its effect and improve dirt removal, the strength of the surfactant that adheres to the skin will increase and it will not fall off the epidermis, causing harm to the skin Would. Conventional face wash has such a dilemma. Further, if a surfactant is contained, the frictional force is reduced, so that the acidified skin is not peeled off by rubbing. Conventional facial cleansers cannot be expected to have any effect of rubbing and removing dirt and waste that cannot be removed with soap.

[0003]

As described above, a surfactant is always used in a conventional facial cleanser. This is obtained by applying a hydrophilic group such as an OH group, sodium, or potassium as a dispersant to dirt and an organic substance such as oil adhering to the skin. When you wash your face with this, the dirt will come off well. However, the lipophilic group of the surfactant, ie, the oil, adheres to the skin, which causes decisive damage to the skin. After washing the face with soap, some measure is needed to remove the surfactant that has adhered to the skin. In other words, there is a need for the development of a facial cleanser that removes soap attached to the skin after facial cleansing. Also, removing dirt is not the task of face washing. The essence of facial cleansing is to wash off acidified epidermis with cigarette smoke and car exhaust. It is an object of the present invention to provide a facial cleanser which neutralizes and rubs off the acidified epidermis with inorganic calcium carbonate without using organic substances and removes the detergent adhering to the skin together therewith.

[0004]

The surface of the skin is acidified due to air contamination. The epidermis is moist due to sweating, but when the smoke of cigarettes or car exhaust gas dissolves in the water, the epidermis becomes acidic, and the evaporation of water condenses the acid and the epidermis becomes strongly acidic. Tend to be. In this case, the acidified film formed on the epidermis cannot be removed by washing the face with soap. There is a thought that neutralization may be carried out using an alkali soap. However, in this case, the alkali agent adheres to the skin and becomes a lubricant, the friction effect is impaired, and the acidified film does not peel off even when rubbed. That is not all. Alkali agents exhibit the properties of a surfactant and thus adhere to the skin and damage the epidermis. There is one way to solve these problems. Washing your face with a powder containing calcium carbonate as the main component. Claim 1, after washing face with soap etc.
All of the problems can be solved by washing the face with the cleansing agents described in 2 and 3. This is to take advantage of the characteristic that calcium carbonate reacts only to acidity, to remove the acidified film of the epidermis by rubbing without reducing the friction effect, but the effect is calcium carbonate with strong reaction force, that is, the claim. According to the aragonite fine powder of No. 4, the effect is further doubled, and according to the aragonite fine particles separated and concentrated by the sedimentation separation of claim 5, the effect is perfect.

[0005]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, it can be handled like a conventional soap, so that it is very convenient in use. However, this tends to disperse easily in water, and is apt to be wasted and wasted. In order to suppress dispersion, binder etc.
It is necessary to add extra ones. However, according to the method described in claim 2, since the amount used can be appropriately adjusted, waste can be reduced. However, since it cannot be used directly on dry skin, adjustment of water level is necessary, which is troublesome. Considering this, the method described in claim 3 is the most ideal. In this case, there is no need to worry about water addition or binder. After washing the face with soap and wiping with a width, shake the container, drop a few drops on the palm, apply it to the face, gently rub it, and wash with water to remove the acidified epidermis and the surfactant attached to it. Also,
According to the method described in claim 4, calcium carbonate having a strong reaction force can be obtained with a natural material which is not harmful and is completely harmless, so that a more excellent effect can be expected, and the method according to claim 5, According to the method in which only the fine particles are separated, collected and concentrated by sedimentation and separation, a stronger washing power is exhibited.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Aragonite will be described as an example. Grind the aragonite rock in a mortar because the effect increases as the particle size increases. It is dispersed in water, sedimented and separated, and only those with slow sedimentation speed are separated and collected. Settled quickly,
The coarse sediment is returned to the mortar, ground, sedimented again and repeated. Although the separated and collected fine particles precipitate and separate from water when left in a container, it is ideal that the separated water is concentrated to a ratio of about 10% of the precipitate and used. When using, shake the container and apply a few drops to the palm, apply to the face and rub lightly. The acidified epidermis then reacts with the aragonite, exfoliating like debris and showing healthy skin. If this is performed after washing the face with soap, the detergent attached to the skin can be washed off at the same time.

[0007]

The facial cleansing material of the present invention makes use of the properties of calcium carbonate which chemically reacts only with the acidified epidermis. Does not react at all with normal and healthy skin. Only the acidified epidermis is exfoliated by a chemical reaction. It does not cause excessive irritation to the skin, unlike conventional scrubbing materials that physically rub off the skin. Don't worry about rubbing and rubbing normal, non-acidified skin. The main component of conventional detergents is a surfactant. When the face is washed, the surfactant adheres to the skin and cannot be removed, thereby damaging healthy skin. A dilemma has been found in conventional facial cleansers that if a strong surfactant is used to improve dirt removal, the strength of the surfactant adhering to the skin increases. In order to remove the detergent that has adhered to the skin, care such as applying and wiping oil and cream or the like that is compatible with the surfactant and HLB on the skin after face washing is necessary. However, since the facial cleanser of the present invention is an inorganic substance and does not use any other organic substances as well as a surfactant, there is no need to worry at all. You may wash your face with a strong detergent. If the face is washed with the face wash of the present invention after washing the face, the surfactant attached to the skin together with the acidified epidermis and waste products is washed away. Skin respiration is also active and healthy skin is maintained forever. The present invention is not an extension of the conventional face-washing techniques that rely on surfactants. It was born from a different perspective. Utilizing the properties of calcium carbonate that reacts only to the acidified epidermis, it removes the acidified epidermis and at the same time rinses away the surfactant attached to the skin.This is the ultimate facial cleansing method that has never been seen before. To provide.
