Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a safe bathing agent, excellent in feeling of use and safe for the human body by using a natural ingredient of calcium carbonate as a principal ingredient as a new blending ingredient in a bathing agent. CONSTITUTION:This bathing agent comprises a sandy coral fossil or coral sand, produced from the nature and hitherto considered as a blending ingredient in a bathing agent. An organic acid or a concentrate of seawater such as crude salt may be blended therewith. This bathing agent is added to bath water, which is kept under weak alkaline conditions by mild reaction thereof with water to improve the feeling of use of the bath water. The coral fossil or coral sand has an ecological and chemical tissue as opposed to a mineral resource or an industrial product. Ingredients eluted therefrom do not damage the human body at all. Furthermore, since the coral fossil or coral sand has many pores, suspended fine particles or dissolved substances in the bath water are adsorbed thereon to keep the bath water clean.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bath agent, and more particularly to a bath agent containing a sandy coral fossil or coral sand which is a natural substance of marine organism origin.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various bath agents that have hitherto been commercially available are mainly composed of chemical agents such as sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium sulfate, borax or potassium chloride, and a small amount of medicinal plant extract or the like. .

[0003]

Therefore, the conventional bathing agents have a problem in that there is always a possibility that the chemicals may adversely affect the human body, especially the skin.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to realize a bath agent which is safe and comfortable for the human body, by using a natural substance of marine organism origin as a new bath compounding ingredient.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the bath salt according to the present invention is a sandy coral fossil produced from nature which has not been considered as a compounding component of the bath salt until now. Alternatively, it is characterized by containing coral sand or powder thereof.

Here, as the bathing agent, sandy coral fossil or coral sand may be used alone, or a concentrate of seawater such as an organic acid or a crude salt may be mixed with them.

The sandy coral fossil or coral sand (coral sand) mixed in the bathing agent according to the present invention is obtained by crushing fossilized skeletons of reef-building coral in tropical sea areas or subtropical sea areas. . Its main component is calcium carbonate (96%), which also contains important biological components such as magnesium, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus as described below.

Therefore, when a bathing agent containing coral fossil or coral sand is added to the bath water, the mild reaction between them and the water keeps the bath water weakly alkaline and improves the feeling of use of the bath water. Unlike mineral resources and industrial products, coral fossils or coral sands have an ecological chemical organization, and the components eluted therefrom do not cause any harm to the human body.

Further, coral fossil or coral sand has a large number of pores, and these pores grow to 10 to 50 μm by being heat activated. Therefore, naturally obtained coral sand itself, or after washing the coral sand to remove some salt (desalination treatment),
When the dried (activated) product is added to the bath water, the suspended fine particles of the bath water and dissolved substances are adsorbed, and the bath water is kept clean.

[0011]

EXAMPLES Next, bathing agents according to examples of the present invention will be described. Here, the bath agent is evaluated by a panelist, and is evaluated based on the feeling of use such as the moist feeling and refreshing feeling of the skin after bathing.

[Example 1] 1 activated after desalting treatment
A bath agent was prepared by mixing 15 g of 0-80 mesh coral sand, 15 g of sodium hydrogen carbonate, 3 g of borax, and 2 g of herb powder. This bathing agent may be added to the bathing water as it is, but in this example, 35 g of this bathing agent is used.
Was put in a non-woven fabric bag having a size of 7 cm × 10 cm, and this was immersed in bath water for use. Here, 20 g of sand grains were also stored in the non-woven bag together with the bathing agent so that the non-woven bag did not float even when immersed in the bath water. Further, a cotton thread having a length of about 1 m was tied to the corner of the non-woven bag so that the non-woven bag could be easily lifted from the bath water after bathing.

When such a bathing agent in a non-woven bag is put in a bath having a hot water temperature of about 43 ° C. and a hot water amount of 200 liters, the bath water is gently agitated to give a faint scent and a healthy weakness. It was confirmed that an alkaline bath water was obtained and a pleasant feeling of use was obtained. It was also confirmed that the bath water was kept clean due to the adsorption effect of coral sand. Furthermore, since the coral sand is harmless to the skin etc., the bath salt of this example is safe for the human body.

The bathing agent is not limited to a non-woven bag, but a plastic case or the like can be used as long as it has water permeability, and the shape and material are not limited.

Example 2 The desalted coral sand was pulverized into an ultrafine powder having an average particle size of about 1 μm. 20 g of this ultrafine powder was mixed with 70 cc of water, and 8 g of skimmed milk powder, 1 g of a surfactant and 1 g of herb powder were added to the mixture while stirring to prepare a milky bath agent.

[0016] The bath temperature of such an emulsion is about 4
After 100 g was put into a bath having a water volume of 200 liters at 3 ° C., the mixture was gently stirred. As a result, it was confirmed that a weak alkaline milk bath was obtained, a high-grade image was produced, and a pleasant feeling of use was obtained.

[Example 3] Undesalted coral sand was prepared and heated to a temperature of about 160 ° C for sterilization. Next, 15 g of coral sand after disinfection
Then, 15 g of sodium hydrogen carbonate, 6 g of a crude salt as a concentrate of seawater, and 4 g of seaweed powder were added and mixed uniformly to prepare a bath salt. This bathing agent may be added to the bath water as it is, but in this example, 40 g of the bathing agent is added to 20 g of sand particles.
Along with it, it was placed in a non-woven bag having a size of 7 cm × 10 cm and hermetically sealed to obtain a bath agent in the non-woven bag. Also, in order to make it easier to pull up after use, the length of the non-woven bag is about 1 m at the corner.
Tied cotton thread.

Such a bathing agent in a non-woven bag was put into a bath having a hot water temperature of about 43 ° C. and a hot water amount of 200 liters, and then gently stirred. As a result, a healthy bath with a faint seaside scent of seaweed powder and coral sand is obtained, and a weak alkaline bath is obtained,
It was confirmed that a pleasant usability was obtained. It was also confirmed that crude salt was added together with undemineralized coral sand and seaweed powder, so that a bath containing salt was obtained and the usability was further enhanced.

[Example 4] 10 g of fine powder of desalted coral sand, 10 g of sodium hydrogen carbonate, 8 g of citric acid, 8 g of fumaric acid and 4 g of herb powder were mixed to prepare a bathing agent. A pressure was applied to the bathing agent to form a tablet, and a tablet-type bathing agent was obtained.

With this bath agent, the hot water temperature is about 43 ° C. and the hot water amount is 2
After being placed in a 00 liter bath, the mixture was gently stirred. As a result, the ingredients were gradually dissolved from the tablet-shaped bath agent. At this time, calcium carbonate, which is the main component of coral sand, reacts with an organic acid such as citric acid or fumaric acid to generate carbon dioxide gas and foam, so that a bath water having an effect of promoting blood circulation can be obtained. A pleasant feeling was obtained.

Other Examples In addition to the bath agents according to Examples 1 to 4, various organic acids and the like can be added together with sandy coral fossils or coral sands. Here, as the organic acid that can be added to the bath agent, for example, succinic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, a lower organic acid such as benzoic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, beheric acid, oleic acid, Examples include higher fatty acids such as linoleic acid, linolenic acid, lanolinic acid, and isostearic acid.

In addition, a dairy preparation, a plant extract, a well-known additive such as a surfactant or a fragrance may be blended to enhance the feeling of use of the bath salt.

[0023]

As described above, the bathing agent according to the present invention is characterized by containing a sandy coral fossil or coral sand of marine organism origin. Therefore, according to the present invention, since both coral fossil and coral sand are harmless to the skin and the like, a safe bath preparation can be realized.

Further, since the main component of coral fossil and coral sand is calcium carbonate, the bath water is kept weakly alkaline. Furthermore, since coral fossils and coral sand have a porous structure, they absorb foreign matter in the bath water and keep the bath water clean, which gives a pleasant usability.

Next, when an organic acid is mixed with the coral fossil or coral sand, calcium carbonate, which is the main component of the coral sand, reacts with the organic acid to generate carbon dioxide gas, which causes foaming. The effect of promoting is obtained.

Furthermore, when a concentrate of seawater (crude salt) is blended, a salt-containing bath water is obtained, and a new feeling of use is obtained.
