In the present invention, the term "natural mineral" includes 40 to 80% by weight of SiO ₂ , 10 to 30% by weight of Al ₂ O ₃ and 0.5 to 20% by weight of Fe ₂ O ₃ , and as an additional component, CaO, It means a mineral obtained from nature containing 0.1 to 5% by weight of one or more components selected from the group consisting of MgO, K ₂ O, Na ₂ O, TiO ₂ and P ₂ O ₅ . Natural minerals suitable for the present invention include, but are not limited to, ocher, clay, mica, bentonite, or zeolite, and any natural mineral having a composition as described above may be used without limitation in the present invention. In addition, the natural mineral may be collected from natural systems by a conventional method in the art or may be used by purchasing a commercially available product.

Among the essential components of natural minerals, the SiO ₂ component has a strong adsorption power, and has functions such as antibacterial and deodorization, mineral elution, and dissolved oxygen.
