Description

  The present invention relates to a soap containing astaxanthin and a method for producing the same.

  Since soap is basically intended to remove dirt on the skin, chemical components such as synthetic surfactants often wash out sebum, which is essential. Therefore, there is a demand for a substance that suppresses aging by damaging the skin without damaging sebum and promotes metabolism.

  A soap containing astaxanthin is a combination of such skin protection and regeneration. Astaxanthin is known as a good antioxidant having an excellent ability to cope with ultraviolet rays, and is said to be effective for skin care and hair care. However, since astaxanthin itself is easily oxidized, when blended into soap, a certain blending concentration is required to ensure quality. For example, if astaxanthin is added in an amount of 0.03% or more by weight to the soap material, good quality can be obtained for about 360 days.

Astaxanthin, for example, is extracted as an oil from Haematococcus algae cultured in the sea, so to speak, it is a substance derived from the sea. Therefore, attempts have been made to obtain a synergistic effect of components derived from both the sea and the soil by adding substances derived from soil or land to this. For example, Patent Document 1 below discloses a composition for a biosynthesis promoter for living body that combines astaxanthin and young barley leaves. Moreover, the following patent document 2 is disclosing the composition suitable for the external use containing an astaxanthin and another antioxidant.

  By the way, as a material derived from soil, that is, cultivated in soil, young barley leaves which are rich in nutrients such as minerals, vitamins and proteins are representative. When adding this barley young leaf to soap, the method of making it into powder can be considered. However, the addition of barley young leaf powder to the soap base makes the substrate physically unstable, which is not preferable in terms of preserving.

  The present invention focuses on the above points, and provides a soap that can obtain good physical stability and antiseptic effect even when an astaxanthin-containing soap contains a soil-derived substance, and a method for producing the soap. That is the purpose.

In order to achieve the above object, the soap of the present invention is characterized in that a concave portion formed in a soap base containing astaxanthin is filled with barley young leaf powder or barley young leaf extract extract powder as a solid product of dark green plants. to. One of the major forms, the solids of the dark green plants, mixed in the same material as the soap base, characterized in that filled in the concave portion. The method for producing soap according to the present invention is the method for producing soap according to claim 1, wherein a step of forming a recess in a soap base containing astaxanthin, a step of filling the recess with a solid product of dark green plants, the filling Drying the solid material together with the soap base. According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a soap manufacturing method according to claim 2, wherein a step of forming a recess in a soap base containing astaxanthin, the solid matter of dark green plants is formed in the recess with the soap base. A step of filling a mixture of the same material, and a step of drying the filler filled in the step together with a soap base. The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings.

According to the present invention, the soap base containing astaxanthin is filled with a powder of barley young leaves or an extract of barley young leaves as a solid product of dark green plants to form a double structure. In addition to the synergistic effects of the components, good physical stability and antiseptic effects can be obtained.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail based on examples.

  FIG. 1 shows the appearance of the soap of Example 1 of the present invention. In the figure, (A) is a sectional view, and (B) and (C) are transverse sectional views of (A). As shown in these drawings, a hole or a depression (hereinafter collectively referred to as “concave part”) 12 is formed in the approximate center of the soap base part 10 containing astaxanthin. Is filled. FIG. 1B shows an example in the case of a hole, and FIG. 1C shows an example in the case of a depression. In FIG. 1C, the recesses 12A and 12B are provided on the front and back of the soap base 10, but only one of them may be provided. FIG. 1 (D) shows an example in which a large number of recesses 12 are formed in the soap base 10, and FIGS. 1 (E) and 1 (F) show cross sections thereof. (E) is an example in the case of a hole, and (F) is an example in the case of a recess.

Next, an example of the above-described soap manufacturing method will be described with reference to FIG. First, as shown in FIG. 2A, a bar-like body of the soap base 10 is obtained. The soap base 10 contains components as described in Table 1 below, for example.

  Next, a hole 12 is formed in the center of the soap base 10 as shown in FIG. 2 (B), and barley young leaf powder 20 is packed into the hole 12 as shown in FIG. 2 (C). Then, the whole is dried in this state. Any method may be used for drying, but preferably, natural drying is performed for about 50 days (because a desiccant is not used). In this drying step, as shown by an arrow in FIG. 2 (C), the barley young leaf powder 20 absorbs the alkaline water in the soap base 10, and the powder is solidified or solidified, and is shown in FIG. 2 (D). Thus, it becomes barley young leaf powder solid substance 14, and barley young leaf powder solid substance 14 comes to show alkalinity. Barley young leaves oxidize if left in the air, but oxidation is prevented by becoming alkaline. In addition, since molds and gram-negative bacteria (E. coli) are generally weak in alkalinity, making the barley young leaf powder solid 14 alkaline improves the antiseptic effect, increases the stability, and obtains good quality as a whole soap. be able to. The soap shown in FIG. 1 (A) is obtained by cutting the material shown in FIG. 2 (D) into an appropriate thickness.

  When the soap of this example obtained as described above is used, since a chemical foaming agent or the like is not contained, foaming is performed using a foaming net or the like. At this time, components such as astaxanthin in the soap base 10 and abundant nutritional components such as minerals in the barley young leaf powder solid matter 14 are melted, and fine, fine, high quality and smooth bubbles are obtained that are full of volume and weight. It is done. By acting on the skin, the sea-derived component and the soil-derived component can synergize, and excellent skin effects such as sebum protection, moisture retention, and improvement of gray hair, spots and wrinkles can be expected. In addition, since materials that exist in nature are used and decompose in rivers, the burden on the environment is low.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the Example mentioned above, A various change can be added in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. For example, the following are also included.
(1) The ratio of the barley young leaf solid to the soap base may be appropriately set as necessary.
(2) The components contained in the soap base are not limited to the above examples, and may contain other known main components as long as at least astaxanthin is contained.
(3) The manufacturing method shown in the above embodiment is also an example, and if the same action is obtained, it does not preclude manufacturing by another method.
(4) As a specific method of packing the barley young leaf powder 20 into the central hole 12 of the soap base 10, for example, the same material as the soap base 10 mixed with the barley young leaf powder 20 is packed. Moreover, you may make it pack what mixed the powder which dried the extract of the barley young leaf into the same material as the soap base 10.
(5) In the above examples, barley young leaves were used as the soil-derived component, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, green juice-based dark green plants (vegetables and seaweeds) may be used.
(6) The soap of the present invention can be applied not only to humans but also to animals.

  According to the present invention, a high quality soap can be obtained by synergistic effects of astaxanthin, which is a sea-derived component, and young barley leaves, which is a soil-derived component, and can be used for skin care and the like.

It is a figure which shows the soap of the Example of this invention. It is a figure which shows the main manufacturing processes of the soap of the said Example.
