Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to improvement of soap having a good odor by utilizing herbs and other herbs.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, cosmetic soap is obtained by adding sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc. to animal and vegetable oils such as palm oil, boiling and stirring, salting out with salt, soap base, and fragrance. Manufactured by subjecting a colorant or the like as a raw material to mechanical treatment or simply cooling from a high temperature.

[0003] Soap is originally used for cleaning dirt, but since soap has a good aroma, it is also used for aroma. In that case, herbs such as herbs may be used as aromatic substances of soap.

In the case of herb soap, at home, the herb is added to hot water together with the soap powder and stirred, and the soap powder is melted in a heated state, and then beeswax is added and mixed. And it is manufactured by kneading well, shaping it into your favorite shape and naturally drying.

[0005]

However, the herbs are
Since it is a kind of medicinal herb, when it is mixed with soap as cosmetics to be manufactured and sold as a business, it must be certified by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare or prefectures of each manufacturing plant or distributor.

[0006] Therefore, it takes a lot of time and labor to receive the manufacturing certification, and there is almost no product in which the herb is applied to soap as a cosmetic.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an herbal soap having a good odor and an excellent aesthetics by applying the herb as a fragrance substance to cosmetics by a simple production means.

[0008]

The above object of the present invention is achieved by placing an herb on a soap base material to have a good aesthetic appearance and a good odor.

Further, the above object is achieved by mixing the soap base material with the herb powder so as to have a good aesthetic appearance and a good odor.

Further, a heating step of heating animal and vegetable oils and fats in a reaction kettle and heating, a molding step of pouring the solution produced in the heating step into a mold, and a cooling and drying of the form formed in the molding step, It is effectively achieved by comprising a solidification step of aging and a step of mixing the herb powder in the solidification step.

Further, a neutralization step of neutralizing the fatty acid with an alkali, an addition step of adding glycerin to the fatty acid salt formed in the neutralization step, and a molding in which the substance formed in the addition step is poured into a mold. This can be achieved more effectively by including a step, a solidification step of cooling, drying, and aging the substance formed in the modeling step, and a step of mixing the herb powder in the solidification step.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an herb soap 1 according to the present invention. A soap base material 2 has a fatty acid as a main component, and a herb 3 is placed on the soap base material 2. Herb 3 is currently certified as a cosmetic soap by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare for the purposes of lavender, chamomile,
Examples include marigold, rosemary, hibiscus, and lemongrass.

Soap is generally produced by a saponification method or a neutralization method. The saponification method uses animal and vegetable oils (rapeseed oil, etc.)
After being placed in a reaction kettle and heated, the solution is poured into a mold.
And it is a method of manufacturing a solid soap through the steps of cooling, drying and aging. On the other hand, in the neutralization method, fats and oils are separated into fatty acids and glycerin, only fatty acids are neutralized with an alkali, glycerin is added, and then the mixture is poured into a mold. And it is a method of manufacturing a solid soap through the steps of cooling, drying and aging.

As a result, the soap base material 2 is manufactured by each of the above-mentioned methods, and a good odor is added to the soap base material 2 by the herb 3. In the present invention, in order to add fragrance, the herb 3 is placed on the upper part of the soap base material 2 or the herb 3 is mixed inside the soap base material 2.

In the former case, after the soap base material 2 is manufactured in the soap manufacturing process, the herb 3 is placed on the soap base material 2 in the cooling step, and the herb soap is subjected to the steps of cooling, drying and aging. Is manufactured.

In the latter case, in the process of producing soap, after adding glycerin, the herb is pulverized and mixed and stirred.
Then, herb soap is manufactured through the steps of cooling, drying and aging.

As a result, the soap has a good odor of herbs, and various patterns of herbs are placed on the upper surface of the base material. The result is a herbal soap that has a pleasing fragrance and is also aesthetically pleasing.

The herbal soap is made of a relatively soft material and can be easily cut with a cutter knife or the like. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2, it is possible to sell out the herb soap and various sales forms are possible.

Further, the soap base material 2 is cut into thin pieces, and
The powdered herb substance may be mixed, kneaded, extruded and stamped to produce the herb soap, and the same effects as those in the above-mentioned examples are obtained.

[0021]

As described above, in the herb soap according to the present invention, since the herb is placed on the upper surface of the soap base material or the herb is mixed in the soap base material, a wide variety of soap surfaces can be obtained. The herb pattern can be drawn, it is aesthetically pleasing, the herb produces a good odor, and it is aromatic. In addition, since the soap base material is made of a relatively soft material such as fatty acid, it can be easily cut into a desired length using a cutter knife, etc. , The sales form will be diverse.
