Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a bath agent using a superabsorbent polymer compound for the purpose of promoting beauty and health.

('b) Conventional technology Bath additives are intended to be effective in improving blood circulation, increasing metabolic function, and cleansing the skin through bathing. Some are used to expect the efficacy of hot spring ingredients made of inorganic salts such as sodium bicarbonate, sodium sulfate, salt, and alum, while others are used to expect the efficacy of medicinal plant ingredients made of herbal medicines such as medicinal herbs or herbal medicine. Compositions containing these active ingredients, fragrances, pigments, etc. are commercially available.

Also, known super absorbent polymer compounds include: (1) a super absorbent resin obtained by polymerizing a neutralized sodium hydroxide product of polyacrylic acid, (2) a six-dimensional crosslinked product of sodium acrylate, and (3) a craft polymerization of acrylonitrile to starch. It is roughly divided into super absorbent resins and super absorbent resins made of acrylic acid-dinyl alcohol copolymer.

Each of these super absorbent polymer compounds has a weight of 300% of its own weight.
It absorbs up to 1,000 times more water and swells, and its water absorbency is used to make diapers and the like to absorb and retain urine.0 (e) What the invention seeks to solve Problem: Conventional bath additives are made by blending hot spring ingredients and medicinal herbs with fragrances, pigments, etc. When dissolved in a bath, they form only an extremely dilute aqueous solution, and many physiological effects cannot be expected. , only the psychological effects resulting from the fragrances and pigments were expected.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems As a result of repeated research in order to improve conventional bath additives into bath additives with physiological effects, the present inventor has developed a method that uses superabsorbent polymer compounds as the main component of bath additives. By using bath water, the bath water becomes a gel-like semi-liquid liquid, and when you take a bath in this, you will be in a state similar to taking a bath in a sauna bath or sand bath, improving blood circulation and promoting metabolism. It was discovered that an extremely refreshing bathing window could be obtained, and the present invention was completed.

That is, the gist of the present invention is a bath agent composition containing a superabsorbent polymer compound as a main component.

The superabsorbent polymer compound used in the present invention is a known hydrophilic polymer compound with a large molecular weight, which absorbs water and swells, and when it absorbs a large amount of water, it becomes stiff as a whole. A compound that forms a semi-fluid gel-like body with a high viscosity is used. For example, polymer superabsorbent resin made by polymerizing sodium hydroxide neutralized product of polyacrylic acid, six-dimensional crosslinked product of sodium acrylate, polymer compound made by craft polymerizing acrylonitrile with starch, acrylic acid-vinyl alcohol copolymer. Combination etc. are preferably used. These compounds are safe for the human body and can be safely used as bath additives.

The above-mentioned super absorbent polymer compound absorbs 600 to 1000 times its weight of water and solidifies into a gel-like state, or
When dissolved in water or hot water that is ~2000 times its weight, the whole becomes a semi-fluid viscous jelly.

The bath agent composition of the present invention blends the above superabsorbent polymer compound with inorganic salts of hot spring ingredients, fats such as squalacia, lanolin, and olive oil, proteins such as milk powder, other medicinal ingredients, fragrances, pigments, etc. can do.

(e) Effect: To use the bath agent composition of the present invention, the hot water in the bathtub must be 180 ml.
The composition is dissolved at a ratio of 1 to 0.05% by weight of 1 to 0.05% by weight of fK. The bath water in which this bath agent is dissolved becomes a viscous, soft jelly-like, semi-liquid bath, so when you take a bath in it, the heat retention properties of the bath warm you to the core of your body, increasing your metabolic function. Semi-fluid bath water does not undergo rapid convection like normal hot water, so
Even if you take a bath at a fairly high temperature, you won't feel the heat directly on your skin, and it will warm you to the core, just like taking a sand bath or steam bath.

When hot spring ingredients, fat agents, powdered milk, and other medicinal ingredients are added to the composition of the present invention, the heat retention effect of the bath water containing the superabsorbent polymer compound and the medicinal ingredients act synergistically,
Enhances bathing effects.

(f) Examples Example 1 A polyacrylate-based super absorbent polymer compound is used as the super absorbent polymer compound, a part of the polymer compound is impregnated with a fragrance, and the polymer compound is further added. After uniformly dispersing the fragrance part, whole milk powder was added to give a total of 89.5 parts by weight of polyacrylate-based super absorbent polymer compound.
〃Fragrance 0
．． 5 A total of 100 compositions were prepared.

This 1 composition 160 to 1709 was added to 180J'7''I bath water to obtain a uniform viscous bath water. You can get an effect similar to that of a milk bath.

Example 2 A polyacrylate-based superabsorbent polymer compound, a fat agent, and others were blended in the following blending ratio.

Super absorbent polymer compound 96.9 parts by weight Fatty agent
5.0/l Fragrance 065 Azurage (water soluble) 0.1 Pigment 5 Total 100 Here, the fatty agent is poliomyelitis biphenyl ether 10.0%
la no ri shi
4.

It is a mixture of Sukuwarashi 70.0.

This composition is prepared by heating and dissolving the fat agent, adding the fragrance, adding a portion of the polymer compound, impregnating it, and uniformly dispersing it, and then adding the remaining polymer compound, azure, and pigment. Add and stir well.

130 to 170 ml of bath agent composition containing this fatty agent is added to 180 ml of bath water! ! If you add it to your bath, the oil will make your skin smooth, and the azurezi effect will have an anti-inflammatory effect.

Example 3 A bath agent composition was obtained by adding hot spring ingredient inorganic salts, fragrances, and pigments to a polyacrylate-based superabsorbent polymer compound in the following blending ratio.

Super absorbent polymer compound 89.0 parts by weight Hot spring ingredient inorganic salts 10.0 Fragrance
0.5〃 Dye 0.5〃 Total 100. Off Here, the hot spring component inorganic salts include: Sodium hydrogen carbonate 45.0 Sodium sulfate (anhydrous) 50.0 Salt 5.0 Total 100.0 The heat retention effect and the hot spring effect work synergistically.

@) Effects According to the bath agent composition of the present invention, the bath water to which the composition is added becomes a viscous, soft sludge, and fluidity decreases, resulting in increased heat retention of the bath, making it easier to bathe. It has the effect of warming the body to the core, improving blood circulation and increasing metabolic function, and has therapeutic effects on relieving fatigue, neuralgia, rheumatism, etc.

When hot spring ingredients such as inorganic salts, fats, proteins, and other medicinal ingredients are added to the composition, the heat-retaining effect and medicinal effect act synergistically, resulting in remarkable effects on beauty and health promotion.
