CONSTITUTION:The objective additive can be produced by mixing (A) crushed vegetables having particle size of 10-100 mesh (preferably 10-60 mesh) and produced by drying and crushing crude drugs or herbs such as lemon peel, seaweed or false arborvitae and (B) powdery or granular inorganic salt (e.g. sodium chloride, sodium carbonate or borax) having particle size of 10-100 mesh (preferably 10-60 mesh) and putting the mixture into a bag made of nonwoven cloth, etc. The mixing ratio of the vegetable powder and the inorganic salt is preferably from 1:4 to 4:1.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] C. Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a bath additive containing a bath additive made of crushed plants or dried crushed plants and inorganic salts packed in a bag made of non-woven fabric or the like. It is.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, in order to make the bath more comfortable, people have put lemons, mandarin oranges, calamus, yuzu, seaweed, etc. directly into the bath to enjoy the smell and use it to promote health. In addition, bath air fresheners with these scents, medicinal ingredients effective against heat rash, chilblains, etc., and so-called bath agents such as herbal medicines and bath cleaners are used to prevent hot water from becoming cloudy or slimy.

These bath additives are usually packaged in powder or granule form, or are used in single doses taken out of containers.

However, if you add lemons, mandarin oranges, calamus, yuzu, seaweed, etc. to your bath, the color will not be very good and the bath water will become cloudy. There are problems such as not being able to use the remaining hot water for washing, and the bathtub getting dirty.

Furthermore, since powdered or granular bath additives are mainly composed of inorganic salts, they absorb moisture when shaken out of the container, making the bath additive inside the container sticky.

Furthermore, if you shake out the bath additive directly from the container, you may end up putting in too much and wasting it, or you may end up using too little to be effective.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to prevent the contents from leaking before use due to transportation due to being too fine, or from tearing the bag due to coarse grain size, by limiting the particle size of the crushed plant material and inorganic salts. The objective is to provide a bath additive that has an excellent product appearance and is suitable for carrying.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention is a bath additive prepared by mixing the following two components (1) and (2) and packing the mixture into a bag.

A: Ground plant material (10 to 100 mesh) Mouth: Powdered or granular bath salts made of inorganic salts (10 to 100 mesh) The ground plant material used in the present invention includes lemon peel,
Seaweed, cypress, Japanese cypress, rice bran, etc., or herbal medicines such as calamus, cypress, licorice, chimpi, spruce, ginger, carrot, pine nuts, cinnamon bark, ubai, etc., or harp such as chamomile, aloe, jasmine, rosehip, lavender, etc. Any material that can be ground, dried and pulverized may be used, and furthermore, it may be the dried material from which various extracts have been extracted, or the ash produced when processing each plant.

These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

In addition, the crushed plant material should be adjusted to 10 to 100 mesh, and more preferably 10 to 60 mesh.If it is coarser than 10 mesh, the bag may tear and the contents may come out, and the appearance is also excellent. 1 is undesirable, and 1
If the mesh is finer than 0.00, it may seep out of the bag during transportation or while left unattended, which is not desirable.

Further, in order to mix the product with a bath additive made of inorganic salts, the water content of the crushed plant material is preferably 30.0% by weight or less.

The content of crushed plant material is 100% by weight of the entire bath additive.
It is preferably about 15 to 85% by weight.

The inorganic salts used in the present invention have been conventionally used in bath additives, and have the effect of retaining heat, softening hard water, and cleaning baths. Furthermore, the present invention also has the effect of preventing entanglement between the fibers of the crushed plant material and facilitating the packaging operation.

Examples of inorganic salts include sodium chloride.

Thorium, calcium nitrate, ammonium sulfate.

Sodium thiog1, calcium hydrogen phosphate', potassium chloride, ammonium chloride, sodium phosphate, hypochlorite
Sodium L, calcium thiosulfate.

Examples include kanjiang, sodium sesquicarbonate, and magnesium sulfate.

These salts can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

These inorganic salts are preferably adjusted to have a mesh size of 10 to 100, more preferably 10 to 60 mesh.

If the mesh is coarser than 10 mesh, it will not dissolve well from the bag made of non-woven fabric, and the appearance will not be good, which is not desirable.If the mesh is finer than 100 mesh, it will seep out of the bag during transportation or while left unattended, which will affect the appearance. , which is unfavorable in terms of stability and the like.

The content of the inorganic salts is preferably about 15 to 85% by weight, based on 100% by weight of the entire bath additive.

In addition to the above ingredients, these inorganic salts may also contain, if necessary,
It can also be made into granules by adding a binder and other ingredients. Specific examples thereof are shown below.

Binding agents: carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, sodium salts, casein, pectin.

Starch, sodium alginate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, locust bean gum, carrageenan, agar, carbopol, etc. Other ingredients: fragrance,
The material of the bag used in the present invention, such as disinfectants, surfactants, vitamins, pharmaceuticals, quasi-drugs, and tar-based pigments for cosmetics, is not particularly limited, but it is preferably one from which inorganic salts can easily dissolve.

There are no particular restrictions on the nonwoven fabric used in the present invention, but m! Hit 3
When a nonwoven fabric is used as the material for the bag, which is preferably 0g to 70g, the nonwoven fabric removes scale. Inorganic salts have the advantage of being easy to dissolve.

In the production of the present invention, it is sufficient to simply mix the crushed plant material and the powder or granular bath additive in a fixed ratio, or in some cases, simply stir until the mixture becomes uniform.

In order to effectively obtain both effects, a ratio of dried plant material: powder or granule bath additive - 1:4 to 4:1 is preferred.

The bath additive thus obtained can be easily cleaned up after use by putting it into a bag made of non-woven fabric or the like.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples.

A panel of 20 people used each of the Examples and Comparative Examples twice, and evaluated the usability and practicality. The bathing time was approximately 20 minutes per person, with each person soaking twice for 3 minutes at a time, and there was no particular restriction on the amount of hot water used.

Example 1. Comparative example 1 A powdered bath additive was prepared with the following composition.

(Overlay %) Anhydrous sodium sulfate 3゜Sodium hydrogen carbonate 55 Sodium chloride
13 Silicic anhydride
2 total io.

Example 1 50% by weight of the above bath salts classified into 10 to 100 meshes and 10 meshes of dried yuzu peel
50% by weight of 00 Mensche was uniformly dispersed and placed in a bag made of nonwoven fabric to obtain a bath additive.

Comparative Example 1 The above bath salts and dried yuzu peel were each mixed at 50% without being classified.
They were mixed and dispersed in weight percentages and placed in a bag made of nonwoven fabric to obtain a bath additive.

Example 2. Comparative example 2 A granular bath additive was prepared with the following composition.

(Weight%) gM Sodium 30 Sodium hydrogen carbonate 40 Sodium carbonate
20 Sodium chloride
9.5 Polyvinyl alcohol 0
．． 5 total 100 Example 2 50% by weight of the above bath salts classified by 10 to 60 meshes and 10 meshes to 10 meshes of dried hinoki powder
50% by weight of 60 mesh was uniformly dispersed and placed in a bag made of nonwoven fabric to obtain a bath additive.

Comparative Example 2 The above-mentioned bath additive and dried cypress powder were uniformly dispersed at 50% by weight without being classified, and placed in a bag made of nonwoven fabric to obtain a bath additive.

When the above Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were evaluated, there was no difference in usability, but in both Comparative Examples, powder spilled out from the non-woven fabric during transportation or before use. , the appearance was poor, and the disadvantage was that it left powder on the hands.

Examples 3-4. Comparative Examples 3 to 7 40% by weight of sodium silicate, 50% by weight of sodium bicarbonate, 9.5% by weight of sodium chloride, 0.5% by weight of CMC and a trace amount of pigment were mixed, purified water was added and granulated using a granulator. After extruding into a shape, the mixture is placed in a dryer and dried at 50°C for 30 minutes to form granules. Hereinafter, this will be referred to as bath additive A.

This is divided into five different particle sizes as shown in the table below.
It was mixed with similarly classified lemon peel powder at a specific ratio, packed into a nonwoven fabric, and tested for use by 20 people.

1 package contains 40 g, and the score is 5 points, with 5 points being very good, 4 points being below good, 3 points being average, and 2 being poor.As shown in Table 1, Comparative Examples 3 and 4 were effective. Almost good results were obtained, but when compared with Example 3, Comparative Example 3 was inferior in the cleanliness of the bathtub, cloudy hot water, powder leakage from the bag, and product appearance. Furthermore, in Comparative Example 4, the particle size was limited to a fairly coarse one, so the evaluation was good in terms of powder leakage, but it was inferior in other items as in Comparative Example 3, and the appearance of the product was particularly poor.

Furthermore, if a 100-menspas product is used as in Comparative Example 5, the bathtub becomes dirty or cloudy, powder leaks from the bag, and the appearance of the product is poor.

Furthermore, for those stuffed with non-woven fabric,
In the case of Comparative Example 6 with only powdered bath additives and in the case of Comparison N7 with only crushed plant products, the evaluation score for effectiveness was lower than that of the case filled with both.Especially in the case of only crushed plant products, the bathtub became dirty. It is poorly rated because it looks cloudy or cloudy.

From the above results, by limiting the mesh to a certain level, the effect was sufficient and excellent evaluations were obtained in terms of bathtub cleanliness, hot water turbidity, powder leakage, and appearance. By adding both a bath additive and a crushed plant product, the product received a higher evaluation in terms of effectiveness and product value due to the effects of both.

Examples 5-8. Comparative Examples 8-10 30% by weight of sodium sulfate, 50% by weight of sodium hydrogen carbonate, 9.5% by weight of sodium chloride, 1% by weight of sodium carbonate
Mix pigments of 0% by weight, 0.5% by weight of CMC, and WXl, add purified water and extrude into granules using a granulator, then put in a dryer and dry at 50°C for 30 minutes to make granules. . This will be referred to as bath additive B below.

This is divided into two types of particle sizes as shown in the table below.
Similarly classified crushed plant material (hinoki powder).

Several types of powder (seaweed powder, turmeric powder, and aloe powder) were mixed in a specific ratio, packed in a nonwoven fabric, and tested for use by 20 people.

Each package contained 40 g and was evaluated in the same manner as in Example 3. As can be seen from Table 2, Examples 5 to 8 were classified using a certain mesh, so they were not classified as in Comparative Examples 8 to 1O. Although there was not a huge difference in effectiveness compared to the previous product, the product clearly received superior evaluations in terms of cleanliness of the bathtub, cloudiness of the hot water, leakage from the nonwoven fabric, and appearance of the product.

In order to prevent leakage from the bag or tearing of the bag, the drawbacks of using crushed plant materials or inorganic salts alone (such as entanglement between crushed plant materials) are eliminated, and both can be combined. It is clear that using it can provide synergistic bathing effects (recovery from fatigue, recovery from sensitivity to cold, stiff shoulders, etc.).
