Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an animal cleaning agent composition and a method for cleaning animals. Background Art

[0002] Animals (mainly dogs and cats) are usually washed at home by their owners and / or in pet grooming salons. Since most of the body of an animal is covered with hair, it takes time and effort not only to wash the hair with shampoo but also to dry the hair after washing, which places a heavy burden on the owners and pet grooming salons who take care of the animals.

[0003] In addition, washing and drying animals for a long time will put a great burden on the animal's body. For elderly dogs or animals with heart disease, it is usually forbidden to use shampoo for washing. As a result, it will cause animal odor, skin diseases, dandruff, etc.

[0004] In the case of dogs and cats, unlike humans, they have apocrine glands and sebaceous glands throughout their bodies, so they do not use sweat (watery sweat like humans: eccrine glands) to cleanse the epidermal lipids, so the main oil stains are sebum in the skin and hair.

[0005] As a method for cleaning such oily dirt, in addition to shampoos using the same synthetic surfactants as humans, oily cleansers and the like are commercially available (see Patent Document 1).

[0008] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2010-077097 Summary of the invention

[0009] Problem that the invention aims to solve

[0010] However, even oily cleansers require running water for washing and drying, which does not reduce the labor burden of pet owners or pet grooming salons, nor does it reduce the physical burden on animals. Therefore, there is a need for an animal cleaning agent that does not use running water, etc., and in particular, a composition and a cleaning method that can easily and effectively remove oil stains.

[0011] An object of the present invention is to provide a composition and a cleaning method that can effectively remove oil stains without running water and in a simple manner.

[0012] Means used to solve problems

[0013] The inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive research to solve the above problems and found that the above objects can be achieved by using calcium sodium phosphosilicate, thereby completing the present invention. Specifically, the present invention provides the following contents.

[0014] The invention according to the first feature provides an animal cleaning composition comprising 0.01 parts by mass or more and 10.0 parts by mass or less of sodium calcium phosphosilicate and water.

[0015] According to the invention of the first feature, the emulsification of the sodium calcium phosphosilicate suspension can remove oil stains and odors of animals. In addition, colored stains (oil stains and protein stains) inside the ears, around the eyes, around the mouth, etc. can be effectively removed. Moreover, since the reproduction of bacteria caused by oil stains can be inhibited, for example, pyoderma caused by Staphylococcus aureus and dermatitis caused by Malassezia (fungus) can be prevented.

[0016] In addition, when washing an animal, the composition is applied to the washing target part of the animal, and then the composition applied to the washing target part is wiped off. Therefore, since there is no need to wash off the washing agent with running water, the physical burden of the animal can be reduced, and the composition can also be used for elderly dogs or animals with diseases such as heart disease. In addition, the labor burden imposed on pet owners and pet beauty salons is also small, and the composition can be used on a daily basis.

[0017] Therefore, according to the invention of the first feature, a composition that can effectively remove oil stains easily without requiring running water can be provided.

[0018] The invention of the second feature provides an animal cleaning agent composition, which is the invention of the first feature, wherein the sodium calcium phosphosilicate contains a bioactive glass extract, the bioactive glass extract is an extract obtained by removing the bioactive glass from a bioactive glass-containing liquid containing bioactive glass and an aqueous solvent, and the bioactive glass contains silicon dioxide, calcium oxide, sodium oxide, and phosphorus pentoxide.

[0019] According to the invention of the second feature, the extract contains sodium ions and calcium ions. These ions act on the acid-base bonds of skin proteins and weaken the intermolecular (intramolecular) bonds of proteins. Therefore, the skin can be softened and the permeability of moisturizers, etc. can be improved.

[0020] Furthermore, since sodium ions and calcium ions are moisturizing components in keratinocytes (NMF: natural moisturizing factor), the sodium ions and calcium ions supplied from sodium calcium phosphosilicate also function as moisturizing components inherent in the skin.

[0021] In addition, since the extract is alkaline, it has a bactericidal effect, so it can more effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria caused by oil stains, for example, it can prevent pyoderma caused by Staphylococcus aureus and dermatitis caused by Malassezia (fungus).

[0022] The invention according to a third feature provides an animal cleaning composition according to the invention according to the first feature or the second feature, wherein the pH is 8 or more and less than 13.

[0023] According to the third aspect of the invention, since the extract is alkaline, it has a bactericidal effect, so that the growth of bacteria caused by oil stains can be more effectively suppressed.

[0024] The invention according to a fourth feature provides an animal cleaning composition according to any one of the first to third features, wherein the animal cleaning composition does not substantially contain a synthetic surfactant.

[0025] According to the invention of the fourth feature, stimulation to the washing target part of the animal can be suppressed. In addition, the skin burden on the person in charge of the pet grooming salon who needs to perform a large amount of washing can be reduced.

[0026] The invention according to a fifth feature provides an animal cleaning composition according to any one of the first to fourth features, wherein the animal cleaning composition further contains a naturally-derived amphoteric surfactant.

[0027] Compared with anionic or cationic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants are less irritating and safer. Although the use of amphoteric surfactants alone cannot achieve a sufficient cleaning effect, in the invention of the fifth feature, since it is a combination of amphoteric surfactants and sodium calcium phosphosilicate, it is possible to achieve a higher cleaning power while maintaining safety.

[0028] The invention of the sixth feature provides a method for cleaning an animal that does not require a water washing step, comprising: a step of applying the animal cleaning composition of the invention of any one of the first to fifth features to the cleaning target area of ​​the animal; and a step of wiping off the composition applied to the cleaning target area.

[0029] Effects of the Invention

[0030] According to the present invention, a composition and a cleaning method can be provided which can effectively remove oil stains without requiring running water and in a simple manner. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] Hereinafter, an example of a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described. However, this is only an example, and the technical scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0032] <Animal cleaning composition>

[0033] The animal cleaning composition of the present embodiment contains 0.01 parts by mass or more and 10.0 parts by mass or less of sodium calcium phosphosilicate and water.

[0034] 〔Calcium sodium phosphosilicate〕

[0035] Sodium calcium phosphosilicate may be a bioactive glass-containing liquid containing 0.01 wt% to 10.0 wt% of bioactive glass and 99.99 wt% to 90.0 wt% of an aqueous solvent, or may be a bioactive glass extract obtained by removing the bioactive glass from the containing liquid.

[0036] [Bioactive Glass]

[0037] Bioactive glass is a powdered glass material containing silicon dioxide, sodium oxide, calcium oxide, and phosphorus pentoxide. Bioactive glass is activated by water and releases ions (extracts from bioactive glass) of components with high bioavailability. In particular, since sodium ions are slowly released, they act on the acid-base bonds of skin proteins, weakening the intermolecular (intramolecular) bonds of proteins. As a result, the skin can be softened and the permeability of moisturizers, etc. can be improved.

[0038] Furthermore, since sodium ions and calcium ions are moisturizing components in keratinocytes (NMF: natural moisturizing factor), the sodium ions and calcium ions supplied from sodium calcium phosphosilicate also function as moisturizing components inherent in the skin.

[0039] In addition, the emulsification of the sodium calcium phosphosilicate suspension can remove oil stains and odors of animals. In addition, the colored stains (oil stains and protein stains) around the inside of the ear, around the eyes, around the mouth, etc. can be effectively removed. And, because the reproduction of bacteria caused by oil stains can be suppressed, for example, pyoderma caused by Staphylococcus aureus and dermatitis caused by Malassezia (fungus) can be prevented.

[0040] In addition, since the extract is alkaline, it has a bactericidal effect, so it can more effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria caused by oil stains, for example, it can prevent pyoderma caused by Staphylococcus aureus and dermatitis caused by Malassezia (fungus).

[0041] The bioactive glass is not particularly limited as long as it is a disintegrating glass that slowly releases alkali ions. Examples of the bioactive glass include fluoroaluminosilicate glass used in dental materials and Vitryxx from SCHOTT.

[0042] The primary average particle size of the bioactive glass is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of facilitating the extraction of the active ingredient, the primary average particle size of the bioactive glass is preferably 0.5 μm or more, and more preferably 1.0 μm or more.

[0043] On the other hand, from the viewpoint of extracting more effective components, the primary average particle size of the bioactive glass is preferably 15.0 μm or less, more preferably 10.0 μm or less, further preferably 8.0 μm or less, and further preferably 5.0 μm or less.

[0044] [Aqueous solvent]

[0045] The aqueous solvent is not particularly limited as long as it is a liquid that can extract the active ingredients of the animal cleaning composition contained in the bioactive glass without impairing its function as the active ingredient and minimizes damage to the skin. It can be any of water, a water-miscible solvent, and a mixed solvent thereof.

[0046] Water includes all forms of water that are liquid at room temperature, such as purified water, ion-exchanged water, and tap water.

[0047] Examples of water-miscible solvents include C1-4 alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, sec-butanol, isobutanol, and tert-butanol; ketone solvents such as acetone; amide solvents such as dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide; sulfoxide solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide; nitrile solvents such as acetonitrile; organic acid solvents such as acetic acid, etc. However, in the present embodiment, since it is necessary to reduce damage to the skin, the water-miscible solvent is ethanol or isopropanol, preferably ethanol.

[0048] [Water-soluble ingredients]

[0049] The aqueous solvent may contain a water-soluble component as long as the effect of the invention described in this embodiment is not impaired. In this embodiment, the pH of the composition as a whole is preferably 8 or more and less than 13. By making the pH of the composition 8 or more, the reproduction of bacteria caused by oil stains can be effectively inhibited. In addition, by making the pH of the composition less than 13, the hydrolysis of the active ingredient by alkali or the damage caused by alkali to the skin of the object can be reduced.

[0050] Sodium calcium phosphosilicate itself has a pH buffering function, and therefore, unlike an alkali component such as sodium hydroxide, it is possible to maintain the pH at 8 or more and less than 13 without strictly controlling the amount of the compounding. However, in order to improve pH stability, a pH buffering component may be contained as a water-soluble component.

[0051] Examples of weakly alkaline buffer solutions include Tris buffer (tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane), TE buffer (buffer prepared by adding EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) to Tris buffer), and ammonium chloride buffer.

[0052] Examples of the water-soluble component include additives such as powders, moisturizers, thickeners, and preservatives that are usually blended into cosmetics, quasi-drugs, and the like.

[0053] [Ratio of bioactive glass to aqueous solvent contained in the bioactive glass-containing liquid]

[0054] The ratio of the bioactive glass to the aqueous solvent contained in the bioactive glass-containing liquid is not particularly limited as long as the bioactive glass extract can effectively function as an external preparation for animal skin.

[0055] As a guideline, in order to effectively extract the active ingredients contained in the bioactive glass, the content of the bioactive glass is preferably 0.01% by weight or more relative to 100% by weight of the bioactive glass-containing liquid. In other words, the content of the aqueous solvent is preferably 99.99% by weight or less relative to 100% by weight of the bioactive glass-containing liquid.

[0056] In addition, in order to obtain a sufficient amount of bioactive glass extract (liquid after filtration) when removing bioactive glass from the bioactive glass-containing liquid, the content of bioactive glass is preferably 10.0 wt% or less relative to 100 wt% of the bioactive glass-containing liquid. In other words, the content of the aqueous solvent is preferably 90.0 wt% or more relative to 100 wt% of the bioactive glass-containing liquid.

[0057] [Content of calcium sodium phosphosilicate]

[0058] In the present embodiment, the content of sodium calcium phosphosilicate is not particularly limited. From the viewpoint of maintaining the pH at 8 or above, promoting the emulsification function of the sebum remover to oil stains, and effectively inhibiting the growth of bacteria caused by oil stains, the content of sodium calcium phosphosilicate relative to the composition is preferably 0.01 parts by mass or more, preferably 0.5 parts by mass or more, more preferably 1.0 parts by mass or more, further preferably 1.5 parts by mass or more, and particularly preferably 2.0 parts by mass or more.

[0059] Furthermore, the content of calcium sodium phosphosilicate in the composition is preferably 10.0 parts by mass or less from the viewpoint of suppressing the pH to less than 13, more preferably 8.0 parts by mass or less from the viewpoint of suppressing the pH to less than 12.5, and further preferably 4.0 parts by mass or less from the viewpoint of suppressing the pH to less than 12. By setting the pH of the composition to less than 13, hydrolysis of the active ingredient by alkali or damage to the skin of the object by alkali can be reduced.

[0060] [Method for producing calcium sodium phosphosilicate]

[0061] Sodium calcium phosphosilicate is obtained by mixing 0.01 wt% to 10.0 wt% of bioactive glass and 99.99 wt% to 90.0 wt% of an aqueous solvent, leaving the mixture to stand for 1 minute or more and 100,000 hours or less, and then removing the bioactive glass from the bioactive glass-containing liquid.

[0062] The method for mixing the bioactive glass and the aqueous solvent is not particularly limited, and for example, the mixing can be performed using an ultrasonic oscillator, a vibrator, a mixer, a stirrer, or the like.

[0063] There is no particular limitation on the method of removing the bioactive glass from the bioactive glass-containing liquid, and filtration can be cited as a method of removal. There is no particular limitation on the filtration method. As one method, suction filtration of the bioactive glass-containing liquid using a filter having a pore size smaller than the average particle size of the bioactive glass can be cited.

[0064] Although not essential, the pH of the liquid after filtration may be checked and the pH of the liquid after filtration may be adjusted to 8 or more and less than 12 as necessary.

[0065] 〔water〕

[0066] The type of water is not particularly limited, and includes all forms of water that are in a liquid state at room temperature, such as purified water, ion-exchanged water, and tap water.

[0067] 〔Surfactant〕

[0068] Although not required, it is preferred that the composition described in this embodiment does not substantially contain a synthetic surfactant. In this embodiment, "substantially free" means an amount that causes damage to the skin when the cleaning agent composition is used as a shampoo or the like. Thus, irritation to the animal's cleaning target area can be suppressed. In addition, in particular, the skin burden of the person in charge of a pet beauty salon that needs to perform a large amount of cleaning can be reduced.

[0069] On the other hand, the composition may also contain amphoteric surfactants of natural origin. Compared with anionic or cationic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants are less irritating and safer. Although the use of amphoteric surfactants alone cannot achieve a sufficient cleaning effect, in the invention described in this embodiment, since it is a combination of amphoteric surfactants and sodium calcium phosphosilicate, a higher cleaning power can be obtained while maintaining safety.

[0070] Examples of naturally occurring amphoteric surfactants include betaine-type amphoteric surfactants and the like.

[0071] [Other ingredients]

[0072] If necessary, the composition may contain appropriate thickeners, humectants / moisturizers, skin conditioners, oils, pigments, colorants, salts, chelating agents, neutralizers, ultraviolet absorbers, preservatives, bactericides, purified water, natural water, deep sea water, ethanol, etc.

[0073] Thickeners are additives used to increase the viscosity of the composition to make it gel-like or cream-like. Examples of thickeners include "Aristoflex HMB" from Clariant (Japan) KK, synthetic polymers represented by carboxyvinyl polymers, natural polymers represented by pectin or xanthan gum, microparticles of silica, bentonite, hectorite, and the like.

[0074] The wetting agent / humectant refers to an additive used for the purpose of moisturizing the skin after using the composition. Examples of the wetting agent / humectant include polyethylene glycol 600 (abbreviated as PEG600), glycerin, amino acids, pyrrolidone carboxylic acid, lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, mucopolysaccharides such as chondroitin sulfate, glycerin, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, polyols such as sorbitol, and the like.

Examples of skin conditioners include hydroxyalkylated cyclodextrins, hydroxypropyl cellulose, acylated pullulan, stearoxyhydroxypropyl methylcellulose, trehalose isostearate and other sugar derivatives, hyaluronic acid, acetylated hyaluronic acid, collagen, carboxymethyl chitosan succinamide, PPG-2 arginine, sodium di(laurylamide glutamine) lysine, amidinoproline, pyrrolidone carboxylic acids, glucosamine, alanyl glutamine, glycerol-N-(2-hydroxyethyl) carbamate, glucosamine and other moisturizers, PEG / PPG / polybutylene glycol-8 / 5 / 3 glycerol and other water-soluble moisturizing oils, gamma-behenic acid lactones such as lactone, gluconolactone, erucic acid lactone, cetyl 2-ethylhexanoate, di-2-heptyl undecyl adipate, diglyceryl adipate mixed fatty acid esters, isostearyl isostearate, octyldodecanol isostearate, phytosteryl isostearate, propylene glycol isostearate, isodecyl benzoate, isotridecyl isononanoate, isononyl isononanoate, polyglyceryl eicosane / tetradecane dioic acid, hexadecyl octanoate, ethyl oleate, phytosteryl oleate, di-2-ethylhexyl succinate, diethylhexyl succinate, bis(diethylene glycol ethyl ether) succinate, diglyceryl diisostearate, propylene glycol dicaprylate, neopentyl dicaprate Alcohol esters, tripropylene glycol dineopentanoate, esters of mixed fatty acids of dipentaerythritol and hydroxystearic acid / stearic acid / rosin acid, etc., di(phytosteryl / isostearyl / cetyl / stearyl / behenyl) dilinoleate, isocetyl stearate, stearyl stearate, hydrogenated castor oil stearate, diethyl sebacate, diethyl sebacate, dextrin fatty acid esters, pentaerythritol tetra-2-ethylhexanoate, pentaerythritol tetra-2-ethylhexanoate, tri(caprylic / capric)glyceryl, tri(2-ethylhexanoic acid)glyceryl, triisooctanoic acid glyceryl, isodecyl neopentanoate, isopropyl palmitate, ethylhexyl palmitate, octyl palmitate, hydroxystearic acid Hydrogenated castor oil, phytosteryl isostearate, isopropyl myristate, octyldodecyl myristate, myristyl myristate, diisostearyl malate and other ester oils, isopropyl lauroyl sarcosinate, lauroyl glutamate (phytosteryl / behenyl / octyldodecyl / isostearyl), di(cholesteryl / behenyl / octyldodecyl) lauroyl glutamate, diisostearyl lauroyl glutamate, di(octyldodecyl polyether-2) lauroyl glutamate, disteareth-2 lauroyl glutamate, dihexyldecyl lauroyl glutamate, myristoyl methyl-β-alanine (phytosteryl / decyltetradecyl) and other acyl amino acid esters,Branched-chain fatty acids such as 18-methyleicosanoic acid, 14-methylpentadecanoic acid, 14-methylhexadecanoic acid, 15-methylhexadecanoic acid, 15-methylheptadecanoic acid, 16-methylheptadecanoic acid, 16-methyloctadecanoic acid, 17-methyloctadecanoic acid, and 17-methylnonadecanoic acid, and their ester oils, lanolin extracts such as lanolin fatty acids and their salts, sphingosine, natural ceramides or natural ceramides, and their derivatives, liquid paraffin, liquid isoparaffin, petrolatum, squalene, squalane, hydrocarbon oils such as 2,2,4,6,6-pentamethylheptane, proteins obtained from shells or pearls having nacre or their hydrolysates, proteins obtained from silk or their hydrolysates, thickeners, viscosity modifiers, lower alcohols such as ethanol, surfactants such as naphthalenesulfonic acid, emulsifiers, opacifiers, metal ion chelating agents, and ultraviolet absorbers , antioxidants such as niacinamide, arginylfructose glucose, retinoic acid tocopherol, powder ingredients, urethane resins, hydrophobically modified polyether urethane, polyurethane gel, etc., blood circulation promoters, local irritants, anti-androgen agents, anti-seborrheic agents, anti-aging agents, emollients, keratolytic agents, glycyrrhetinic acid, cholesterol, retinol, retinyl acetate, retinol palmitate, menthol, alkoxysalicylic acid, salicylic acid, N-benzoylglycylaminoacetic acid, 1-indenyl derivatives, allantoin, glycosaminoglycans, polyglutamic acids, nicotinic acids, phosphoserine, trehangelin, tocopherol phosphate, ethyl ascorbic acid, ascorbic acid-2-phospho-6-fatty acid, whey, glycerophosphocholine, glucoheptonic acid, glyceryl-1-octadecylcarbamate, etc. ,

[0076] [Substantially free of organic solvents]

[0077] From the viewpoint of reducing damage to the skin, it is preferred that the composition contains substantially no organic solvent.

[0078] From this viewpoint, it is preferred that the composition does not substantially contain the following organic solvents: hydrocarbon solvents such as petroleum ether, n-hexane, cyclohexane, toluene, benzene, etc.; halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, etc.; ether solvents such as ethyl ether; ester solvents such as ethyl acetate; ketones such as acetone; alkaline solvents such as pyridine; monohydric or polyhydric alcohol solvents such as butanol, propanol, methanol, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butanediol, etc. Moreover, it is more preferred that the composition does not substantially contain isopropanol. In addition, it is particularly preferred that the composition does not substantially contain ethanol.

[0079] [Contains substantially no antiseptic ingredients or antibiotics]

[0080] Hitherto, it has been proposed to sterilize and clean the hair using a shampoo containing a bactericide or an antibiotic, or to apply a skin external medicine (cream, gel, etc.) containing a bactericide or an antibiotic.

[0081] In the case of shampoos containing disinfectants, it is believed that the shampoo may enter the eyes, nose, and mouth of the target animal, so it is required to reduce the burden on the animal. In addition, when washing the target animal with shampoo, the skin of the owner's fingers may be seriously damaged. Moreover, in the case of external skin medications, there is a concern that the impact on the animal or the burden on the owner will increase.

[0082] In addition, in recent years, as in humans, the resistance of infectious diseases in dogs and cats has become increasingly strong, and symptoms in which antibiotics available in animal hospitals are ineffective have also increased. In this regard, a composition substantially free of antibiotics is required.

[0083] According to the invention described in this embodiment, the composition does not need to contain substantially any bactericide component or antibiotic, and thus the following effects can be expected.

[0084] (1) A composition with low skin irritation, oral toxicity, etc. and high safety can be provided.

[0085] (2) There is no problem even if it enters the eyes, nose, or mouth of animals, and it will not damage the skin of human fingers.

[0086] (3) It is effective against drug-resistant bacteria and will not cause them to develop drug resistance.

[0087] (4) It can not only kill and eliminate the pathogens of skin diseases, but also improve the skin's moisturizing function.

[0088] [pH of the composition]

[0089] The pH of the composition is not particularly limited. From the viewpoint that the sodium ions slowly released by sodium calcium phosphosilicate promote the softening of sebum (ester of glycerol and fatty acids) or skin keratin, the pH of the composition is preferably 8 or more, more preferably 8.5 or more, and even more preferably 9 or more.

[0090] From the viewpoint of reducing damage to the skin caused by a strong alkali, the pH of the composition is preferably less than 12, more preferably 11 or less, and even more preferably 10 or less.

[0091] [How to clean animals]

[0092] The animal washing method of this embodiment includes: applying the above-mentioned composition to the washing target site of the animal, and wiping off the composition applied to the washing target site. In this method, a water washing step is not required.

[0093] The type of animal is not particularly limited, but preferably an animal whose body surface is at least partially covered with hair. Mammals generally have at least a portion of their body surface covered with hair. Among mammals, humans with hair are preferred, and dogs and cats are particularly preferred, in addition to pets (dogs and cats) that have a lot of hair on their body surfaces and are often handled in pet beauty salons.

[0094] In this method, since there is no need to rinse the cleaning agent with running water, the physical burden of the animal can be reduced, and the composition can also be used on elderly dogs or animals suffering from diseases such as heart disease. In addition, the labor burden imposed on the owner and the pet beauty salon is also small, and the composition can be used daily.
