Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cleansing agent for the skin of people with sensitive skin, such as those suffering from atopic dermatitis. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, the number of people suffering from atopic dermatitis has increased, and various theories have been put forward as to its causes, but without an adequate treatment method established, it is said that many people with the disease suffer from a weakened skin barrier function, which causes immune abnormalities that lead to itching of the skin. The itchiness causes them to scratch their skin, further damaging it, which in turn triggers foreign substances and allergens to penetrate the skin, further spreading the inflammation and amplifying the itching, creating an unbearable situation.

[0003] Patients with atopic dermatitis cannot bear the itching and scratch the skin repeatedly, causing the condition to worsen. In the medical field, it is said that there is no treatment or hope of a cure, and the current situation is that people are simply at the mercy of efforts to calm the itch. People who have developed atopic dermatitis have no hope of recovery and are tormented by helpless suffering in their daily lives. Medically, steroids, anti-allergy drugs, and antihistamines are prescribed, but there are concerns about side effects, and patients live their days in constant anxiety.

[0004] In addition, sweating is unavoidable, especially in hot seasons, and although it is said that sweating has the effect of moisturizing the skin, leaving sweat untreated can lead to the risk of developing miliaria, so it is necessary to keep the skin clean by showering or bathing. Using soap or body soap to wash the skin dries out the skin over time after a shower or bath, causing slight roughness, which triggers the skin to feel itchy and start to scratch.

[0005] Many people who suffer from atopic dermatitis not only suffer from severe itching, but also have red, blisters that turn into lichen, causing the skin to feel thick and rough and turn a dark red color. They feel embarrassed about having their skin seen, which can lead to them missing school, being reluctant to find a job, dating or getting married, and causing major problems in their lives. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] To provide a cleansing agent for the skin, etc., which can restore the barrier function of the skin of a person suffering from atopic dermatitis or sensitive skin, and can support the person in regaining a normal life, without using any medicines or the like and without worrying about side effects while taking a normal shower or bath in daily life, and which can foam well when used and can stably maintain a mixed state with its components for a long period of time. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] According to the present invention, in claim 1, a mineral salt containing multiple minerals, chlorine and an appropriate amount of sulfur is processed into fine particles or powder form onto a roughly granular or powdered soap base, and an appropriate amount is added and mixed, causing the mineral salt to react with the extremely small amount of moisture contained on the surface of the soap base, dissolve slightly, and adhere, thereby maintaining the soap base and the mineral salt in a stably mixed state for the period until use.

[0008] The aforementioned roughly powdered soap base is not a fine powder, but is in a granular form that does not feel strange even if it is called a powder. When using the soap base, when an appropriate amount of the skin cleanser of the present invention is placed in the palm of the hand, a small amount of water is added, and the palm is rubbed, a powder or granular form that quickly produces smooth foam. Furthermore, the mineral salt containing an appropriate amount of chlorine and an appropriate amount of sulfur is processed into a fine particle or powder form, which means that when the skin cleanser of the present invention is used by adding a small amount of water and rubbing, a powder or granular form is formed which quickly produces smooth foam and does not interfere with the smooth feel on the skin.

[0009] Furthermore, in claim 2, the mineral salt containing the multiple minerals and the appropriate amount of chlorine and the appropriate amount of sulfur is added to the approximately powdery soap base, and then multiple plant ingredients are added to make a cleansing agent for skin, etc. The multiple plant components are preferably components that moisturize the skin and help restore the skin barrier, and are preferably plant components such as mugwort, perilla, and loquat leaves.

[0010] As claimed in claim 3, the soap base can be replaced with a potassium soap base. In this case, the mineral salt containing the multiple minerals and the appropriate amount of chlorine and sulfur can be added, and then multiple plant ingredients can be added. Since the potassium soap base is particularly hydrophilic, it can be used as a water-soluble skin cleanser. It can be used in the same way as the skin cleanser commonly known as body soap, and can help regenerate and strengthen the skin barrier, making it a cleanser for the skin that comes into contact with the skin more smoothly. Effect of the Invention

[0011] Therefore, according to the present invention, human beings sweat in their daily lives, and human sweat contains components that protect the skin, so there is no problem if the skin is healthy. However, if the barrier function of the skin is weakened or lost, when the skin surface is washed in a bath or shower in daily life, the soap components wash away not only the dirt on the skin, but also the components that protect the skin contained in the sweat.

[0012] Therefore, the surface of the skin is damaged, and the rough skin and skin barrier function are also damaged, and foreign substances, bacteria, viruses, etc. that cause allergic reactions penetrate through the rough skin surface, causing intense itching. At this time, when the cleanser for skin of the present invention is used during bathing or showering, the skin of the whole body is wet with warm water, etc. by bathing or showering, and an appropriate amount is taken out from the container onto the palm or a cloth used for skin washing, etc., which is wet with warm water, etc., and then it is transferred to the skin to be washed by rubbing it like ordinary soap or body soap, and then it is washed off with clean warm water. This is the result and conclusion obtained by the inventor of the present invention, who has been suffering from the pain of atopic dermatitis, through repeated practical experiments using the product himself.

[0013] When the skin is cleansed, the soap base thoroughly washes away dirt from the skin surface, such as sebum and other waste products that seep out with sweat and adhere to the skin surface, as well as dust, bacteria, viruses, pollen, etc. floating in the air, and together with the bactericidal properties of the minerals contained in the mineral salt, chlorine and sulfur act on the skin, eliminating germs and other bacteria that grow in areas of the skin damaged by scratching, and revitalizing the skin to restore the skin's barrier function; after a relatively short period of use, the patient no longer experiences the itchy skin that was the initial goal, and was able to return to a normal life.

[0014] Therefore, it was confirmed that the product effectively acts on the skin of people with sensitive skin or people suffering from atopic dermatitis, as described above. Moreover, since no drugs are used in the treatment, there are no painful side effects and it can be used with peace of mind. This is a joy that only those who have experienced the pain of drug-based treatment can understand, but we are convinced that the synergistic effect of the minerals and other ingredients contained in the mineral salt effectively activates skin cells and kills bacteria, as well as detoxifying the skin, increasing antioxidant power, restoring the skin barrier, soothing itching, and repairing damage to injured skin.

[0015] Furthermore, by increasing the surface area of ​​the soap base, the area to which the mineral salt adheres or melts is increased, and the soap base and the mineral salt are maintained in an ideal mixed state stably for a long period of time, and the foaming inhibitory effect is kept to a minimum, making it possible to create a cleansing agent for skin, etc. that lathers well. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0016] [Figure 1] 1 is a table showing the components of the mineral salts used in the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0017] To explain the mode for carrying out the present invention, the cleansing agent for skin, etc. of the present invention is in powder form, and drawings showing the structure and form are omitted because it is difficult to illustrate. Therefore, it is sufficient to add mineral salt crushed into powder form to a soap base crushed to an appropriate size, mix it, and appropriately attach it to the surface of the soap base. The appropriate size in the soap base refers to a size that can dissolve quickly in water and generate foam when taken from a package such as a container or bag, and when used with water, does not cause or give irritation, a feeling of discomfort such as roughness or grittiness when it comes into contact with the skin, and dissolves in the water in a balanced manner together with the mineral salt crushed into powder.

[0018] It is preferable to use mineral salts that contain small amounts of mineral components such as sodium, potassium, iron, chlorine, and sulfur.By grinding the mineral salts mined as rock salt into powder, when the mineral salt powder adheres in reaction to the slight moisture (water) contained on the surface of the soap base, the surface of the mineral salt dissolves very slightly and a surface bond is formed, and it is preferable that the mineral salts remain closely associated with the soap base until they are used as the skin cleanser of the present invention.When used, they dissolve quickly together with the soap base when they come into contact with water, and spread over the skin surface along with the foam of the soap base, effectively activating skin cells and acting as a bactericide.

[0019] Therefore, without using any chemicals, the skin's detoxifying effect and antioxidant power are enhanced, and destroyed or weakened skin barrier function is restored, so that the itching is relieved and damage to the injured skin is repaired, strengthening the skin barrier function, and the skin can be cleansed, making it a cleansing agent for the skin, etc., without inducing immune abnormalities.

[0020] Furthermore, adding salt to a soap base inhibits foaming during washing, but in the skin cleanser of the present invention, the mineral salt is ground into powder form, allowing fine adjustment of the mixing ratio, and by mixing it with the soap base in the most appropriate amount ratio, it is possible to minimize the inhibition of foaming during washing.

[0021] Therefore, to use the skin cleanser of the present invention, an appropriate amount of the cleanser of the present invention contained in a container or the like is poured onto a towel, cleaning sponge, or a soft material that is not excessively irritating to the skin, such as a mesh bag, and the like, is kneaded or rubbed to create a lather, applied to the surface of the skin to be cleaned, and lightly rubbed or rubbed to loosen dirt and foreign matter from the skin surface, and then rinsed off with warm water, etc., and the method of use is no different from that of conventional cosmetic soaps, body soaps, etc.

[0022] At this time, it was found that the salt, multiple minerals, and trace amounts of chlorine, sulfur, etc. contained in the mineral salt powder attached to the soap base act to support the skin's barrier function, promote activation, maintain skin cleanliness, and lead to healthy skin.

[0023] Therefore, after using the skin cleanser of the present invention to thoroughly wash away dead skin cells and dirt from the surface of the skin, the skin can be cleansed by pouring hot water or the like over the skin to wash away the foam and cleanser, thereby preventing rough skin that causes itching and also preventing a decrease in the skin barrier function.When used continuously for a relatively short period of time, the effect of improving the symptoms of atopic dermatitis was observed.

[0024] Furthermore, most importantly, by stably adhering the powdered mineral salt to the surface of the crushed soap base, it is possible to maintain the optimum blend ratio of the soap base and the mineral salt, thereby providing a cleansing agent that can be used safely by people with sensitive skin. EXAMPLES

[0025] The mineral salt in powder form, which has been crushed into suitable fine particles, is added to the soap base which has been crushed to an appropriate size, and the mixture is stirred so that the mineral salt is appropriately adhered to the surface of the soap base. An appropriate size for the soap base means a size which can dissolve quickly in water and produce foam when taken from the container or bag or other packaging, added with water, and which does not cause or give any unpleasant irritation or sensation such as roughness or grittiness when it comes into contact with the skin.

[0026] For example, it is desirable to use a mineral salt containing, in 100 g of the mineral salt, approximately 39.3 g of sodium, 141 mg of potassium, 53.2 mg of iron, and other mineral components, as shown in the ingredient table in Figure 1, as well as 59.9 g of chlorine and 0.41 g of sulfur. The mineral salt described in this specification and the claims of the present invention refers to the mineral salt shown in Figure 1 or a salt containing approximately the same amounts of minerals, chlorine, sulfur, etc.

[0027] The mineral salt can only be obtained by crushing mineral salt mined as rock salt and making it into powder, and when a small amount of mineral salt powder adheres to the surface of the soap base in response to slight moisture, the surface of the mineral salt dissolves very slightly (to an unmeasurable extent) and a surface bond occurs, and it is desirable for the soap base and the mineral salt to be closely associated until the time of use of the skin cleansing agent of the present invention.When in use, the mineral salt dissolves quickly together with the soap base when it comes into contact with water, spreads on the skin surface together with the soap base foam, and cleans the skin while restoring or maintaining the barrier function of the skin surface, minimizing the risk of inducing immune abnormalities and resulting in a cleansing agent that safely cleans the skin, etc.

[0028] Therefore, to use the skin cleanser of the present invention, an appropriate amount of the cleanser (approximately powder form) of the present invention contained in a container such as a bottle is poured onto a towel or cleaning sponge, a small amount of water is added, and the soap base dissolves in the water and, since the mineral salts have been pulverized into powder form, they dissolve together with the soap base.

[0029] At this time, the soap base and the powdered mineral salt instantly dissolve in the water, and because the soap base and the mineral salt are mixed in a ratio that does not inhibit foaming, they foam quickly, so all that is needed is to apply it to the surface of the skin to be cleansed and gently rub or scrub it.

[0030] At this time, the powdered mineral salt attached to the soap base has detoxifying and antioxidant properties, so it can support and activate the barrier function of the skin while maintaining the cleanliness of the skin and promoting skin health.

[0031] Therefore, after using the skin cleanser of the present invention to thoroughly wash away dead skin cells and dirt from the surface of the skin, the skin can be cleansed by pouring hot water or the like over the skin to wash away the foam and cleanser, thereby preventing rough skin or abnormalities in the skin's barrier function that cause itching. It has also been shown that continued use of the skin cleanser of the present invention for a certain period of time has the effect of improving the symptoms of atopic dermatitis.

[0032] What is most important at this time is that by stably attaching the powdered mineral salt to the surface of the crushed soap base, the blend ratio of the soap base and the mineral salt can be maintained stably and in the best condition for a long period of time, thereby providing a cleansing agent that can be used safely by people with sensitive skin. EXAMPLES

[0033] The soap base is crushed to an appropriate size, and preferably contains an appropriate amount of multiple minerals, an appropriate amount of chlorine, an appropriate amount of sulfur, and multiple minerals, such as sodium, potassium, iron, etc., which is called the mineral salt. This mineral salt can be crushed into a powder form, added to the soap base and stirred, and then multiple plant essences can be added. The multiple plant essences can be powdered leaves of plants that have been dried without heating, in order to avoid reducing the enzymes contained in each plant. For example, mugwort, shiso, loquat leaves, etc., and these leaves can be processed into a powder and added to the soap base and stirred evenly to make a cleansing agent for the skin, etc.

[0034] In this case, it is desirable that the amount of dried mugwort leaf powder, dried perilla powder, and dried loquat leaf powder is within 0.5 to 8 percent of the material added to the soap base with the mineral salt. In this embodiment, the multiple plant components each act to moisturize the skin, thereby strengthening the skin's barrier function, and achieving the same action and effect as in Example 1. EXAMPLES

[0035] In the above examples, a general soap base was used for the soap base because of its cost-performance, but in Example 3, a potassium soap base can be used instead of the soap base. The potassium soap base used in this example is liquid, especially water-soluble, and has a stable quality, so it can be stored in a bottle container in liquid or gel form and used as a body soap. Even if the skin is weakened by atopic dermatitis and the barrier function of the skin is significantly reduced, causing itching and irritation, it can be washed while reducing irritation during washing. The synergistic effect of sodium, potassium, iron, chlorine, sulfur, etc. contained in the mineral salt generates antioxidant power, which detoxifies the skin surface and gently suppresses skin itching. Mugwort extract, perilla extract, loquat leaf extract, etc. moisturize weakened skin, so that it can be relieved from the itching of atopic dermatitis in a relatively short period of time and healthy skin can be restored. [Industrial Applicability]

[0036] In recent years, the proportion of people suffering from atopic diseases, hay fever, and allergies has been rapidly increasing. The cleansing agent for the skin, etc. of the present invention is expected to be extremely effective for people suffering from these diseases, and a large market is expected, so the industrial applicability is extremely great.
