Method for manufacturing clay type bath salts {MANUFACTURING OF CLAY TYPE BATHBAM}

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a clay-type bathing agent. More specifically, it is a clay-type bathing agent designed to allow users to change its appearance at will, which can be especially interesting to children and does not harden or crack, thereby increasing consumer satisfaction. It relates to a method of manufacturing a clay-type bath additive.

Bath additives are also called bath salts, and baths containing bath additives are called medicinal baths. In addition to those for patients included in hydrotherapy, there are also those for health and beauty purposes. In other words, if salts or sulfur are added to the bath at an appropriate concentration, skin irritation is alleviated and the skin can withstand long-term bathing, so effects similar to hot spring therapy can be expected.

Currently, the standard of living has improved due to the increase in domestic income, and interest in personal hygiene and beauty has increased. Along with this, bath salts are widely used in ordinary homes and lodging facilities.

However, liquid foam bath agents not only irritate the skin due to the excessive use of chemical surfactants, but also dry the skin and cause skin problems. Existing solid bath products were difficult to create in various and attractive shapes, and they did not produce bubbles well during bathing, reducing the enjoyment of bathing.

In order to improve this, bath additives of other formulations have been proposed, but problems have arisen that make them difficult to use because they harden easily over time or easily split when excessive force is applied.

As shown in Figure 1, the method for producing a clay-type bath agent according to the present invention includes the steps of a) mixing vegetable oil and fragrance oil to prepare a first additive (100), and b) adding an enzyme to the first additive. mixing step (200), c) mixing corn starch and natural surfactant to prepare a second additive (300), and d) mixing the first additive and the second additive to which the enzyme was added to produce a second additive. Step 1 of preparing a mixture (400), e) adding a humectant to the first mixture to prepare a second mixture (500), and f) maturing the second mixture prepared in step e) ( 600).

If each configuration is described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, step a) may be a step of manufacturing the first additive. The first additive may include vegetable oil and fragrance oil. That is, the first additive can be produced by mixing the vegetable oil and fragrance oil. Fragrance refers to a scent and can be manufactured using ingredients contained in actual plants or using specific ingredients extracted from plants. The fragrance oil is an oil selected to determine the type of fragrance, and can be selected from various types of fragrance oils available on the market, or a mixture of two or more.

The vegetable oils include rice germ oil, olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, grape seed oil, castor oil, jojoba oil, camellia oil, sunflower seed oil, apricot seed oil, rice bran oil, rice bran oil, macadamia nut oil, and safflower seed oil. , evening flower seed oil, sweet almond oil, avocado oil, hazelnut oil, soybean oil, corn oil, rapeseed oil, upper point oil, green tea seed oil, shea butter, cocoa butter oil, mango butter, kukui nut oil, borage oil, carrot One or two or more selected from the group consisting of seed oil, calendula oil, hemp seed oil, rose hip oil, neem oil, argan oil, chamomile oil, mint oil, rosemary oil and lavender oil can be mixed.

More preferably, the vegetable oil may be coconut oil, palm oil, or a mixture of both. More preferably, the vegetable oil may be coconut oil.

In the present invention, the first additive can be prepared by mixing vegetable oil and fragrance oil in step a). In step a), the vegetable oil and the fragrance oil are preferably used in an amount of 1 to 5 parts by weight, preferably 2 to 3 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the total weight of the second mixture.

Step b) may refer to adding and mixing an enzyme to the first additive prepared in step a). The enzyme may include one or more of alpha-amylase, cellulase, lipase, and protease. Preferably, alpha-amylase is used.

Through the enzyme, the macromolecules of the plant extract can be reduced to low molecules to facilitate skin penetration.

The enzyme may contain 20 to 40 parts by weight. Preferably, it may contain 25 to 35 parts by weight. If it is less than 20 parts by weight, it has little effect on skin penetration, making it difficult to function as a moisturizer. If it is more than 40 parts by weight, the scent of the vegetable oil and fragrance oil may be impaired or the cleaning ability may be reduced.

Step c) may refer to preparing a second additive by mixing corn starch and a natural surfactant. The natural surfactant may include Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSA) and Lauramidopropyl Betaine (LPB).

The sodium lauryl sulfoacetate is a foam-generating surfactant derived from natural products and is not harmful to the human body. The lauramidopropyl betaine is one of the surfactants that forms foam and has a cleaning ability, and like the sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, it is one of the surfactants derived from natural products.

The corn starch may contain 30 to 50 parts by weight. Preferably, it may contain 35 to 45 parts by weight. If the amount of corn starch is less than 30 parts by weight, the viscosity is lowered, making it difficult to clump together, and if it exceeds 50 parts by weight, hardening problems may occur.

The total amount of the surfactant may be 15 to 25 parts by weight. Preferably, it may contain 27 to 23 parts by weight. If the surfactant is less than 15 parts by weight, the cleaning power is reduced, and if it exceeds 25 parts by weight, skin irritation may occur.

Step d) may be a step of preparing a first mixture by mixing the first additive to which the enzyme is added and the second additive. More specifically, the first additive and the second additive to which the enzyme is added can be mixed at a weight ratio of 1:0.9 to 3.4.

The first mixture, second mixture, and first mixture may be in powder or powder form.

Step e) may be a step of preparing a second mixture by adding a moisturizer to the first mixture. The moisturizing agent may be polyol, and specifically may include glycerin, PEG-8, butylene glycol, propylene glycol, or a mixture thereof, preferably glycerin and PEG-8. It may contain a mixture of 8 (PEG-8), and more preferably, it may contain glycerin. When the total weight of the second mixture is 100 parts by weight, the humectant may be included in 10 to 20 parts by weight, and preferably, 15 to 18 parts by weight. If the moisturizer is included in less than 10 parts by weight, the cleaning power may be reduced, and if the moisturizer is included in more than 20 parts by weight, cracking may occur due to insufficient moisture content.

Additionally, depending on the formulation of the second mixture being manufactured, additional fluids such as alcohol and water may be added, and the scope of rights should not be interpreted as limiting this.

The second mixture may undergo f) maturing step (600) and g) punching step (700) and then h) molding and packaging step (800).

에서 20~25시간 숙성하는 것이 바람직하다.The f) maturation step is a step of maturing the second mixture, in a sealed state, at room temperature (23 to 27

It is desirable to ripen for 20 to 25 hours.

The g) punching step may refer to the step immediately before shipping the finished product by cutting the aged second mixture to a certain size. The punching step may be a step of flattening one side of the aged second mixture by pressing it with a certain pressure. This may refer to the step of injection molding the product to have a certain size and weight for mass production. A separate punching equipment may be further included for the above g) punching step, and since this is a conventionally known technology, detailed description will be omitted. In other words, a product with a certain weight can be formed through the punching step.

In the h) molding and packaging step, the molding step may mean a step of molding the product released through the punching step into the same shape for packaging. The molding step can generally be performed manually or automatically (a molding device can be used) to obtain a spherical shape. The product completed through the above molding step can proceed to the packaging step. The packaging step may include a first packaging step and a second packaging step in more detail.

The first packaging step is a step (810) of primarily packaging the outer surface of the finished product, and the first packaging material used in the first packaging step may be made of a biodegradable vinyl material. Biodegradable vinyl may refer to a vinyl material that can disappear as it is decomposed by microorganisms. The biodegradable vinyl can be used by processing known biodegradable vinyl finished products.

The second packaging step may refer to a step (820) of secondarily packaging the primary packaged product. The second packaging material used in the second packaging step may be an eco-friendly paper packaging material.

The second packaging material may include various materials made of eco-friendly products, and the scope of rights should not be interpreted to limit this.

A label member may be further attached to the second packaging material, the first packaging material, or both. The label member may be printed with information on how to use the product, purpose, standard amount, etc. In one embodiment, information about the capacity for complete dissolution may be printed.

Bath additives according to the present invention can be manufactured and packaged separately according to color. To this end, the step 410 of mixing a third additive with the first mixture may be further performed.

The third additive is a pigment and may be a natural pigment that is harmless to the human body. Natural pigments may include animal, mineral, or vegetable dyes. Animal dyes may include animal blood, shellfish secretions, squid ink, etc. Mineral dyes may be raw materials obtained from pigment-containing stones, soil, or metals. Vegetable dyes may be dyes extracted from plant leaves, flowers, fruits, tree bark, etc.

The bath agent prepared as described above is made of a clay-type formulation, so the user can arbitrarily design the shape and combine colors.

As shown in Figure 3, the present invention may further include a step 420 of adding a fourth additive to the first mixture. The fourth additive is a functional additive and may be added together with the moisturizer or may be added before the moisturizer. (It may be performed together with step e) or immediately before the moisturizer.)

The fourth additive, which is the functional additive, is Physalis Alkekengi Fruit, Citrus Unshiu Peel, Phaseolus Radiatus Seed, Phellinus Linteus, Centella Asiatica, Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis Leaf), Any selected from the group consisting of Houttuynia Cordata, Perilla Frutescens Leaf, Phellinus Linteus and Perilla Frutescens Leaf, Viscum album var. coloratum, and Lonicera japonica It may contain one or more plant extracts. Preferably, it may contain one or more plant extracts selected from the group of mistletoe and honeysuckle. The fourth additive is a plant extract contained in an amount of 0.01 to 90 parts by weight, more preferably 1 to 50 parts by weight, and even more preferably 5 to 20 parts by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. (This may mean that the total weight of all fourth additives is 100 parts by weight.) This means that if it is less than 0.01 parts by weight, antioxidant and whitening effects cannot be expected, and if it exceeds 90 parts by weight, there may be problems with skin stability and formulation. Because.

The present invention may further include a foam capsule to help form bubbles and create interest when using a bathing agent.

The foam capsule may have usage instructions written on the label member, and may be provided together with the clay-type product.

The foam capsule may include a shell and a foam built into the shell. Content encouraging the foam capsule to be mounted inside the bath product may be printed on the label member.

The outer shell may be a soft outer shell made of a water-soluble material that can dissolve in water. The outer shell may be a water-soluble outer shell manufactured using a conventionally known technology. The foam contained within the shell may contain a soluble foaming agent component capable of generating a large amount of gas per unit weight. The foam may contain other ingredients such as emulsifiers, stabilizers, thickeners, flowing agents, colorants, flavors, aromas, etc.

Suitable emulsifiers may include monoglycerides, diglycerides, lecithin, diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono-diglycerides (data esters), emulsifying starches and mixtures thereof. Suitable stabilizers may include dipotassium phosphate and sodium citrate. Preferably, it may include sodium silica aluminate.

The gas may be filled inside the shell. The gas may be nitrogen, carbon dioxide, air, or mixtures thereof. Preferably, it may be an inert gas.

To increase the foaming effect, the gas may be charged above 100 kPa gauge, preferably above 500 kPa gauge.

When using the above bath additive, when the outer surface of the bath additive touches water and gradually melts away, the foam capsule inside comes into contact with water, and when the outer shell in contact with water melts away, the foam inside touches the water and high-pressure gas is released. It forms foam while doing so, and as the internal foam components are dispersed, it is possible to create a bath additive in which the foam does not disappear over time.
