Description

Gel filter composition for fluid shower that is easy to fill automatically {Composition of gel-type shower filter easy fillable with filling machine}

The present invention relates to a fluid shower gel filter composition that is easy to fill automatically. More specifically, the present invention includes dextrin, vitamin C, xanthan gum, glycerin, lemon oil, pigment, water, cassava powder, hydrolyzed silk, corn starch, aloe gel, propolis, vitamin E, basil oil, and fennel oil. It is included to provide fluidity in the gel composition and enable automatic filling in the filter case, thereby eliminating the inconvenience of filling the filter after manufacturing the existing filling gel composition and facilitating the automation process of gel filter manufacturing. In another aspect, the present invention relates to a beauty filter gel composition for showering that is excellent in moisturizing the skin.

Tap water in Korea is sterilized with chlorine using sodium hypochlorite. At the water purification plant, organic compounds are removed along with sterilization through primary chlorination, and secondary chlorine is administered again right before supplying water to the home to preserve and maintain residual chlorine, thereby preventing diseases caused by pathogens. However, chlorine is one of the halogen elements and is a toxic substance used as an oxidizing agent, bleach, and disinfectant. Chlorine in tap water also reacts with organic compounds to produce organochlorine compounds (environmental hormones), which have a negative impact on health and the environment. In particular, it reacts with and destroys the skin proteins that make up the human skin, making the skin rough and causing skin aging and various skin problems. Showers used at home or in public bathhouses are used to spout tap water like a fountain by connecting a hose to a faucet. These showers usually consist of a handle with a hose connector and a shower head with a plurality of blowing holes. In the tap water discharged through the shower, the chlorine component added to the water purification plant is not completely removed and remains, so if you drink tap water as is, the foul smell unique to tap water and the chlorine component harmful to the human body will inevitably be absorbed into the human body. In addition, residual chlorine has many problems, such as destroying hair protein just like skin, causing dull hair, damaging the health of the scalp, causing hair loss, and worsening atopic dermatitis. In addition, residual chlorine acts as a cause of dermatitis in children and people with weak skin, and the chlorine component contained in the steam generated when heating and using it is not only quite harmful to people with weak bronchial tubes or lungs, but also damages hair cells and other harmful substances. It can be said that there is a lot of damage.

However, it is not economical to use water from a water purifier in the bathroom to filter out residual chlorine, so a countermeasure was needed. As a solution to this, most of the functional filters installed in filtration devices or showers for the purpose of skin health use natural materials that have undergone primary processing in powder or liquid form. However, when these natural materials are exposed to water for a long period of time, their state may become unstable or oxidation/corruption may occur, and when showering or washing, a certain amount of materials in the filter dissolve, making it difficult to supply them stably for a long period of time. Vitamin C, which is currently used as the main material for functional filters with beauty or water softening functions, tends to be rapidly oxidized and destroyed in response to moisture, air, light, and heat, and even when used in a stabilized gel form, most of the residual chlorine in tap water is removed. It is used for cosmetic purposes, and the amount dissolved in water is insufficient, so cosmetic effects cannot be expected.

Therefore, while the present inventors were conducting various studies on beauty filter gel compositions for showers to improve skin, they found that existing gel filter compositions for showers had to be prepared in advance in a certain form and filled into the filter case, or became hard when the temperature was below 30°C. The present invention was completed by improving the inconvenience of having to maintain the working temperature between 30°C and 40°C in order to fill the case because it hardens, and by manufacturing a fluid shower gel filter composition that is easy to automatically fill even at room temperature or at low temperatures. It has been done.

Each final composition is filled with a gel filter prepared in an automatic filler hopper at room temperature (25°C), operated, and injected into the shower filter case of Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-1014389 (patent holder: KNTech) to form an automatically filled gel. A filter was prepared. The filled gel filter has high fluidity, but after filling, it was refrigerated for 2 days at about 10°C to harden, and then stored again at room temperature. At this time, it was confirmed that each gel filter was in a non-flowing state even when placed on its side.

<Comparative Examples 1 to 6. Comparative shower cosmetic filter gel composition and filter production>

A gel composition was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 and filled into a filter, but each component mixed in each composition was mixed under the conditions shown in Table 2 below.

<Experimental Example 1. Confirmation of automatic filling>

The self-filling properties of the compositions in Tables 1 and 2 were confirmed. For this purpose, each composition was mixed at room temperature at 25°C, and when it showed fluidity, it was filled into the filter case using an automatic filler. Afterwards, it was cured at 10°C for 2 days and returned to room temperature to check whether the cured state was maintained. Otherwise, as before, the composition was heated to 40°C, mixed, cooled at room temperature, prepared in the form of a filter case, and filled in the filter case in solid form.

Composition built-in filter Automatic filling (liquidity) Example 1 It has fluidity at room temperature and maintains its shape at room temperature after curing. Example 2 It has fluidity at room temperature and maintains its shape at room temperature after curing. Example 3 It has fluidity at room temperature and maintains its shape at room temperature after curing. Example 4 It has fluidity at room temperature and maintains its shape at room temperature after curing. Example 5 It has fluidity at room temperature and maintains its shape at room temperature after curing. Example 6 It has fluidity at room temperature and maintains its shape at room temperature after curing. Comparative Example 1 Since it does not mix at room temperature, it is molded by heating. Comparative Example 2 It has self-filling properties and hardens even at low temperatures.
When it reaches room temperature, it doesn’t hold its shape well and the phases separate. Comparative Example 3 It has fluidity at room temperature and maintains its shape at room temperature after curing. Comparative Example 4 It has fluidity at room temperature and maintains its shape at room temperature after curing. Comparative Example 5 It has fluidity at room temperature and maintains its shape at room temperature after curing. Comparative Example 6 Since it does not mix at room temperature, it is molded by heating.

As a result, it was confirmed that the compositions of Examples 1 to 6 all had good self-filling properties and maintained their shape well at room temperature after curing at low temperature. However, Comparative Examples 1 and 6 required heating reaction as before to fill the filter case. Since it could be manufactured in a feasible state, more cumbersome work had to be performed. It was confirmed that Comparative Example 2 did not maintain the cured state at room temperature after low temperature curing.

Meanwhile, the following experiment was performed using those filled in the filter case, excluding the filter of Comparative Example 2, which was not suitable for use in the experiment because it did not maintain a cured state at room temperature.

<Experimental Example 2. Experiment to check skin moisture status (moisturizing effect) according to filter use>

The filter products of Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 and 3 to 6 were tested in 5 households in each group (households with similar average water usage, number of showers, and shower times over 3 months based on 4-person households) for 8 weeks. They were asked to use each filter product and their skin condition was checked before and after using each filter product.

Skin moisture was measured using a Corneometer (CM825, Courage and Khazaka Electronic Co., Germany). Measurements were taken before using the product and after 8 weeks of using the product, and the average value was calculated using the three values measured with a Corneometer. The higher the moisture content, the higher the measured value, and the measurement coefficient is Arbitrary unit (A.U.). In addition, the results obtained in this way were converted into the skin moisture improvement effect (fold) and confirmed.

* The results in Table 4 represent the skin moisture status before using the filter as a fold value based on 1.0.

In addition to the experimental skin moisturizing status, the degree of skin improvement felt by users and the softening status of the shower water were evaluated using a 5-point scoring system (5 points: very good, 4 points: good, 3 points: average, 2 points: bad, 1 point: Very bad) was calculated and confirmed after 8 weeks, and the results are shown in Table 5 below.

The results in Tables 4 and 5 confirm that the cosmetic filter gel composition for showers of the present invention provides a moisturizing effect on the skin, which also shows that the quality of shower water has been improved by the composition.

<Experimental Example 3. Confirmation of filter composition exhaustion period>

The filters of Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1, 3 to 6 used in Experimental Example 1 were continued to be used even after skin condition was checked, and the period until the filter composition was completely exhausted was confirmed (the The content of the composition was the same).

condition Composition exhaustion period (months) Example 1 2.3 Example 2 2.2 Example 3 2.5 Example 4 2.3 Example 5 2.3 Example 6 2.2 Comparative Example 1 1.2 Comparative Example 3 1.3 Comparative Example 4 1.3 Comparative Example 5 1.4 Comparative Example 6 1.3

Referring to the results in Table 6, it is confirmed that all compositions of Examples 1 to 6 of the present invention have a longer exhaustion period compared to the compositions of Comparative Examples 1 and 3 to 6, which means that the compositions of Examples 1 to 6 are compared to those of Comparative Examples. It was determined that the usable period was increased as it was released gradually in a more uniform concentration into the shower water than the compositions 1, 3 to 6. According to users' explanations, when using filters filled with the compositions of Comparative Examples 1, 3 to 6, shower water with a strong scent was used immediately after use, but it was confirmed that the scent gradually weakened over time. However, in the case of users of filters filled with the compositions of Examples 1 to 6, it was possible to use shower water with the same scent for most of the period of use.

Therefore, it can be seen that sustained release of oil-soluble substances into shower water is possible when using a gel composition mixed under the conditions of the present invention.

<Experimental Example 4. Confirmation of long-term storage status>

The long-term storage status of all the compositions of Examples 1 to 6 was confirmed to show no change in properties even when stored at room temperature in a shower room for at least one year before use.

However, in the filters manufactured using the compositions of Comparative Examples 1, 3 to 6, in which the mixing ratio of the components in each composition is different, mold and bacteria growth may occur or the properties of the gel composition may change, causing layer separation, moisture separation, etc. This also occurred.
