Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a body-care agent utilizing excellent characteristics which baked shell powder and the like have, while exhibiting more positive effects by suppressing without neutralizing strong alkali damage.SOLUTION: In terms of solid content, the body care agent of the present invention includes, as the main component, a mixture of 3 to 50 pts.wt. of powdered calcium hydroxide with 1 to 170 pts.wt. of soybean milk. In addition, 6 to 190 pts.wt. of soybean oil is admixed or the powdered calcium hydroxide is a powdered baked shell, especially a powdered baked scallop shell.

Description

The present invention relates to a care agent or cosmetic for a body in a broad sense, that is, the outer surface of a human body (generally animals) including face, head hair, mouth, eyes and the like.

A large number of body care agents are already known, such as those used for personal cosmetics, soaps, and commercial esthetics. However, since many of them contain additives that are harmful to the skin, which can be counterproductive, there is a recent trend toward commercialization using only natural materials as much as possible.

In the current situation as mentioned above, recently, it has been noticed that the powder obtained by baking scallop shells has a high degree of antibacterial and deodorant properties, and antibacterial soap mixed with this has been commercialized. Yes. However, since this scallop shell powder has a pH of about 13.5 and is quite strongly alkaline, the body care agent containing this has a harmful effect of damaging proteins such as the skin because the alkali is too strong. There was a problem of losing the function. An object of the present invention is to solve such problems and to provide a body care agent that is not only gentle to the skin but also can positively exhibit a preferable function.

The above scallop shell powder is made by calcining scallop shells mainly composed of calcium carbonate to convert to quick lime CaO and further absorbing moisture into calcium hydroxide, so it is natural that it is strongly alkaline as it is. is there. Therefore, as a result of various attempts to eliminate damage to the skin without neutralizing with acid (while maintaining antibacterial and deodorant properties, etc.), the market evaluation as a health drink has been established unexpectedly. It was found that the intended purpose could be achieved by mixing soy milk.

In other words, in terms of solid content, the body care agent of the present invention is basically based on a mixture of 3 to 50 parts by weight of powdered calcium hydroxide and 1 to 170 parts by weight of soy milk.

The term “soy milk” as used herein refers to a liquid that removes okara and the like produced in a well-known tofu production process and that does not contain a coagulant such as bittern, or an equivalent thereof. In other words, the whole raw soybeans made into a fine powder, paste or colloidal liquid as tried recently is included.

The mixing ratio of powdered calcium hydroxide and soy milk is as described above, and if it deviates from this, the desired action / effect is lost. However, it is preferable that the mixing ratio of both is not so much offset. Needless to say, in order to obtain a liquid material, it is preferable that the powder is fine so as not to cause precipitation.

It was also found that adding 6 to 190 parts by weight of soybean oil to the above mixture would be even more preferable depending on applications such as skin, hair, and mouth.

It has also been found that the powdered calcium hydroxide to be used is most preferably a powdered fired shell, especially a scallop shell that has been fired and powdered. Although the scientific clarification of the reason is not necessarily made sufficiently, it is presumed that the fine three-dimensional structure of the powder, unknown trace components, etc. are probably involved.

In commercializing this based on the above basic formulation, it is optional to add a small amount of a fragrance, a preservative, a stabilizer and the like as necessary. Moreover, the product form is not necessarily liquid, and includes a cream, paste, or powder that is used by the user with water added.

According to the present invention, without damaging the advantages of calcium hydroxide (scallop shell baked powder) having excellent antibacterial and deodorizing properties, damage to the skin and the like due to strong alkalinity which was the biggest problem It can be overcome and the effect of plus α can be exhibited. Although scientifically elucidating the mechanism of action is not the main point of the present application, it is reasonable to consider that it is probably due to the following reasons.

That is, about 100 g of general soymilk contains about 5 g of protein, about 3 g of lipid, and a small amount of lecithin, isoflavone, etc., of which protein replaces the protein of the human body and is calcium hydroxide. The lipid (soybean oil) saponifies the alkali and converted it into a high-quality sea surface activator together with lecithin, and these acted in combination to create a long-term barrier mechanism on the skin. It is presumed that such a good result was obtained (by the monitor test). The antioxidant property of the product of the present invention is considered to have a synergistic effect.

A small amount of vanilla essence is added to 1 part by weight of baked scallop shell powder, 10 parts by weight of general soymilk (liquid), and 5 parts by weight of soybean oil, and sufficiently mixed to obtain a skin cream. Apply a little to the face, hands, or whole body, and use with water. According to the monitor test, it was found to be effective in reducing stains, reducing wrinkles, tightening sagging, disinfecting the skin, and anti-inflammatory.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the deodorizing effect for foot odor, armpit odor, aging odor, sweat odor, etc. can be maintained for a much longer time (about 24 hours) than conventional body deodorizers. Admitted.

In addition, there were reports of cases where small warts were removed after a week of use, then scabs were spilled, and hot water was spilled on the back of the hand and burned, but it was immediately applied and healed the next day.

As another good embodiment, water is slightly added to 1 part by weight of baked scallop shell powder, 10 parts by weight of general soymilk (liquid), and 5 parts by weight of soybean oil to make a cosmetic liquid for hair. After shampooing the hair, it was rubbed into the scalp mainly, and after a few minutes, the liquid attached to the hair was wiped off with a towel without rinsing it. There have been reports of cases in which hair loss has decreased drastically and the proportion of gray hair has decreased.

As another example, when a creamy cream having the above composition was used as a toothpaste cream, clear effects were observed in plaque removal and adhesion prevention, oral sterilization, dental caries prevention, bad breath prevention, stomatitis pain, and the like.

Further, as another example, when an eye drop was made using a modest formulation with no soybean oil added, surprisingly, an improvement in visual acuity and an anti-inflammatory effect were observed, and no side effects occurred.

The body care agent of the present invention is sufficiently effective and has many needs, and uses a natural material that is essentially gentle to the human body and is easily mass-produced, so that it has sufficient industrial applicability.
