Abstract

PURPOSE:To prepare a soap which is less irritant to the skin and gives no feel of roughness to the skin during use and offers feel of refreshment after use. CONSTITUTION:A soap comprising an organogermanium. The soap may be a honey soap comprising honey collected after giving a feed containing an organogermanium to honeybees. The organogermanium is preferably a water-soluble one, such as L-arginine germanium or L-lysine germanium, with carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide being particularly preferred.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a soap for washing, and more particularly to a soap which is hypoallergenic, has no squeaky feeling during use, and has a refreshing feeling after use and is suitable for cleaning skin. Is.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a mild soap, a soap containing a near neutral anionic surfactant such as sodium lauryl sulfate and a weakly acidic surfactant such as sodium N-acylglutamate is known. ing.

Further, a detergent using a fatty acid triethanolamine salt as a base is also known for the purpose of reducing the influence of free alkali contained in soap. Furthermore, soaps in which a salt of sulfosuccinic acid alkyl ester or its ethylene oxide adduct is added to a soap base are also known.

[0004]

These conventional hypoallergenic soaps are still unsatisfactory in terms of irritation, such as excessively detergency, pH 8 to 9 and strong alkalinity, and they are still in use. There is a sticky feeling and slimy feeling,
There was also a problem in terms of usability such as a feeling of tightness and bulkiness after drying. Therefore, a soap that is low in irritation and excellent in feeling of use has been desired.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of intensive studies in view of such circumstances, the present inventor has found that when organic germanium is blended with soap, it is less irritating than conventional soaps and squeaks during use. It was found that there was no feeling and a refreshing feel was obtained after use, and the present invention was completed.

The organic germanium used in the present invention is preferably water-soluble. The water-soluble organic germanium is L- arginine germanium, L- lysine germanium, etc., but especially formula carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide _{(GeCH 2} CH ₂ COO
H) ₂ O ₃ is preferred.

Originally, this carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide was developed as an investigational drug for cancer,
It has also been shown to be very well absorbed through the skin of the human body. Therefore, in the hot bath treatment method in which the hands and feet are immersed in hot water containing this organic germanium, fatigue, insomnia, nocturia, coldness, obesity, neuralgia, low back pain, stiff shoulders,
It is known to be effective against constipation, hemorrhoids, sprouting and athlete's foot.

The present invention is a honey soap containing honey which is obtained by feeding a bee containing a mixture of organic germanium and a mixture of organic germanium added to soap, and then containing the honey collected. The amount of the organic germanium compounded with respect to the honey soap is preferably 0.01 to 5% by weight.

A method for collecting honey containing organic germanium is disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 1685637 and Japanese Patent Application No. 23860/1990.
No. 1, Japanese Patent Application No. 3-302826, Japanese Patent Application No. 3-3338
54, Japanese Patent Application No. 3-338855, Japanese Patent Application No. 3-354
Similar to the method described in detail in No. 116, etc., carboxyethylgermanium sesquioxide and sucrose are dissolved in water to form a feed for honeybees. After feeding this feed to honeybees, the honey stored by the honeybees is stored. Obtained by collecting.

In this case, the organic germanium activated by the enzyme possessed by the bee is obtained, and the amount of the organic germanium contained in the honey that has been harvested is 80 to 100% of the amount of the fed organic germanium.

In the present invention, examples of the soap base include higher fatty acids such as lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid, and animal oils and fats such as beef tallow and lard and coconut oil, palm oil and large oils. Common bases such as fatty acids obtained by decomposing vegetable oils such as soybean oil are used.

Further, moisturizing agents such as propylene glycol and glycerin, higher alcohols, other esters, oil agents such as silicon, alkylamine oxides, fatty acid alkanol amides, surfactants such as imidazoline-based amphoteric surfactants, silicone derivatives, squalane. , Lanolin and other texture-improving agents, as well as other diluents, anti-inflammatory agents, viscosity modifiers, solubilizing agents, fragrances, dyes, ultraviolet absorbers, antioxidants, bactericides, preservatives and the like.

[0013]

[Example 1] The above was mixed, heated and stirred, poured into a frame, cooled and solidified, cut, dried, and stamped to produce solid soap.

[0014]

Example 2 The solid honey soap was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1 by mixing the above ingredients containing honey.

[0015]

[Comparative example]

The above was mixed and the solid soap was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1.

(Evaluation method) The soaps of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Example were subjected to a hand-washing test with tap water by 10 panelists, and the squeaky feeling and the refreshing feeling were judged according to the following criteria. . ◎ Very good ○ Good △ Normal × Poor The results are shown in the following table.

[0017]

[Table 1]

As can be seen from Table 1, the soap according to the present invention was excellent in that it had no squeaky feeling during use and a refreshing feeling after use. Further, the present invention products of Example 1 and Example 2 were used by 4 panelists of 4 persons for a week for body washing, but no irritation such as rough skin was observed at all.

[0019]

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The soap of the present invention is hypoallergenic, has no squeaky feeling during use, has a smooth feel, and provides a refreshing feel after use, and is therefore suitable for cleaning the skin. Is. Further, the soap of the present invention is hypoallergenic, and is therefore suitable for a person having a skin particularly sensitive to irritation. Furthermore, the organic germanium contained in the soap according to the present invention is characterized by being very well absorbed through the skin.

Claims (2)

[Claims] 1. A soap containing organic germanium. 2. A honey soap characterized in that it comprises a honey that is fed with a feed containing organic germanium added thereto and then honey is collected.
