Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a deodorant composition which has an excellent deodorizing effect on animal odor and provides a good feeling of use.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Deodorants proposed so far have a deodorizing effect on the axillary odor, foot odor, hair odor and the like of the human body, but have a deodorizing effect on animals such as dogs. As described above, when the odor of the substance that generates the odor is strong, the deodorizing effect is often insufficient. Therefore, there is a growing demand for a deodorant having an effective deodorizing action against strong odors such as animal odors. In particular, when an animal such as a dog having a strong odor is bred at home as a pet, deodorization is inevitable. However, since deodorization by washing with shampoo in water is troublesome and cannot be performed frequently, a deodorant that can easily and simply deodorize is demanded instead.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a deodorant composition having an excellent deodorizing effect on animal odor.

[0004]

The present invention has achieved the above object by providing an animal deodorant composition containing a tree moss extract or an oak moss extract.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The tree moss extract or oak moss extract used in the deodorant composition of the present invention is, for example,
Tree moss or oak moss (hereinafter, referred to as "the original")
Can be dried or pulverized without drying, and then extracted at room temperature or under heating with a solvent or by using an extraction device such as a Soxhlet extractor. Here, the solvent used is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include water, primary alcohols such as methanol and ethanol, liquid polyhydric alcohols such as propylene glycol and 1,3-butylene glycol, and lower alkyl esters such as ethyl acetate. And known solvents such as hydrocarbons such as benzene and hexane, ethyl ether and acetone, and these solvents can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0006] As a specific example of a preferred extraction method from the drug substance, 1000 ml of ethanol having a concentration of 50% (volume) is added to 100 g of the dry pulverized product, and extraction is performed for 3 days at room temperature with occasional stirring. The obtained extract is filtered, and the filtrate is allowed to stand at 5 ° C. for 3 days and then filtered again to obtain a supernatant. The tree moss extract or oak moss extract obtained under the above-described conditions may be used as it is as the extracted solution, but if necessary, may be used one that has been subjected to treatments such as concentration and filtration.

[0007] The tree moss extract or oak moss extract is a trade name "ABSSTREEMOSS".
50% DPG ”(produced by Roberte Nihon Shoten Co., Ltd.) and trade name“ MOUSSE ABS YOUGO CER ”
Commercial products such as (CMA international SKW Biosystems Co., Ltd.) can be used.

The above-mentioned tree moss extract or oak moss extract is blended in an amount effective for deodorization, and the amount varies depending on the extraction method and the solvent used, but is usually a solid content.
0.03 to 5% by weight, especially 0.1 to 3% by weight in the composition
Is preferred.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 5-337172 describes a liquid roll-on type or stick type deodorant for individuals using a composition containing a lichen extract. However, the above publication does not disclose the use of tree moss extracts and oak moss extracts as lichen extracts.

The deodorant composition of the present invention contains the above tree moss extract or oak moss extract as an active ingredient,
It is a composition effective for deodorizing animal odor using water as a medium. Further, the composition of the present invention may contain a surfactant, if necessary, so that the extract, which is an active ingredient, penetrates to the surface of the animal hair except for oil attached to the hair of the animal. It is preferable in that it can be performed. As a surfactant,
(Veterinary) Medically safe substances are used, especially nonionic surfactants, especially fatty acid ester type nonionic surfactants, polyoxyalkylene type nonionic surfactants, and alkylalkanolamide type nonionic surfactants An agent or an alkylglucoside type nonionic surfactant is preferably used. One or more of these surfactants are preferably incorporated in the composition in an amount of 0.05 to 5% by weight, particularly 0.1 to 1% by weight.

As the fatty acid ester type nonionic surfactant, an ester of a polyhydric alcohol and a fatty acid is used.

Examples of the polyoxyalkylene type nonionic surfactant include polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene glycol, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester, polyethylene glycol fatty acid ester, and polyoxyethylene alkyl ether.

Preferred specific examples of the above-mentioned alkylalkanolamide type nonionic surfactant include palm kernel oil diethanolamide.

Preferred specific examples of the alkyl glucoside type nonionic surfactant include lauryl glucose,
Oleyl glucose and coconut fatty acid glucose are exemplified.

In the deodorant composition of the present invention, silicone oil can be used, if necessary. Polysiloxane or the like is used as the silicone oil. Specific examples of the polysiloxane include dimethyl polysiloxane and methyl hydrogen polysiloxane. Various modified silicone oils such as fluorinated silicone oil, amino-modified silicone oil, epoxy-modified silicone oil, alcohol-modified silicone oil, and alkyl-modified silicone oil can also be used, but it is preferable to use unmodified silicone oil. . One or more silicone oils can be used.

When a polysiloxane is used as the silicone oil, the degree of polymerization is preferably from 30 to 20,000, particularly from 80 to 3,000, when the deodorant composition is manufactured or used. It is preferable because it is easy and gives a dry feeling to skin and coat.

The silicone oil is used in the composition in an amount of 0.1 to 0.1%.
10% by weight, particularly 0.3 to 3% by weight,
It is preferable in that it gives an appropriate smooth feeling to the skin and coat.

The deodorant composition of the present invention may further contain, if necessary, a preservative such as parapenes, a lower alcohol such as ethanol, a fragrance and a buffer.
It is preferable that these components are added to the composition in an amount of 0.01 to 10% by weight, particularly 0.03 to 5% by weight, from the viewpoint that the action of the components is sufficiently and sufficiently exhibited.

The deodorant composition of the present invention is sprinkled with a suitable amount on a site where the deodorant is desired to be deodorized, and the jig such as a hand or a brush is used to allow the deodorant composition to be well-adhered to the site and air-dried. An appropriate amount of the odorant composition is sprinkled on a brush, and the portion to be deodorized is brushed with the brush, and the odorant composition is air-dried to achieve the deodorizing effect. Further, the feeling of use such as combing the hair becomes good. Therefore, the deodorant composition of the present invention is suitably used as a deodorant shampoo composition that does not require rinsing and wiping.

The deodorant composition of the present invention has a viscosity at 20 ° C. of 1 to 50 mPa · s, particularly 1 to 5 mPa · s. It is preferable because it is easy to handle. The viscosity is measured by a B-type viscometer using a BL adapter at a condition of 60 rpm.

The pH value of the deodorant composition of the present invention is not particularly limited, but is generally preferably 4 to 7 from the viewpoint of (veter) medical safety. Phosphoric acid, lactic acid, citric acid and the like are used as the pH adjuster.
