2. Description of the Related Art Some bath preparations contain a carbonate component that promotes blood circulation in addition to components such as hot water components, aroma components, and coloring components of hot spring water. This type of foaming bath agent is formed in a solid form, and when placed in a bathtub, etc., it descends inside the bathtub while dissolving and sinks on the floor surface, and continues to dissolve there. In addition to eluting the components, carbon dioxide gas is bubbled and dissolved in the bath water.

[0003]

However, when the above-mentioned foaming bath agent is put in a bathtub, it dissolves while stopping at the position of the sinking floor, so that the hot water component, aromatic component, There is a problem that carbon dioxide or the like does not diffuse throughout the bathtub. For this reason, while taking a bath, the person taking a bath searches for the location of the foamed bathing agent with his / her feet and moves the found foamed bathing agent to various places in the bathtub, or stirs the bathwater by hand. Thereby, the hot water component, carbon dioxide, and the like eluted from the foaming bath agent are diffused throughout the bathtub. However, it is annoying to find a bath salt on the floor by hand or foot and move it or to stir the bath water by hand. Therefore, there is a strong demand for a foaming bath agent that can be moved to various places in a bathtub without using limbs. In addition, if such a thing can be enjoyed by children, etc., one more pleasure can be obtained at the time of bathing, so that the foamed bathing agent can be moved to various places in the bath tub without using limbs, and There is a strong demand for something that will be enjoyable when taking a bath.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is possible to move a foaming bathing agent to various places in a bathtub without using limbs, and it is a pleasure for a child or the like to take a bath. It is an object of the present invention to provide a floating agent for storing a bath salt.
