[0012] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned background art, and an object of the present invention is to provide water that is suitably used when dispersing an oily liquid in water, i.e., water that has an emulsion effect. Another object of the present invention is to provide water that is suitable as drinking water or a raw material for food and beverages, as lotion or a raw material for cosmetics, and as an application agent for hair or skin. [Means for solving the problem]

[0013] As a result of intensive research into solving the above-mentioned problems, the inventors discovered that the above-mentioned problems could be solved by using specific natural water as raw water, passing it through a reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane), and then using a specific multilayer structure to perform a specific treatment on the raw water in a treatment tank, such as placing it in at least a magnetic field for a certain period of time, and thus completed the present invention.

[0014] That is, the present invention provides natural water-derived treated water, which is obtained by passing natural water through a reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane) and storing the natural water for 12 hours or more in a treatment tank having a plurality of multilayer structures tightly attached to the outer side of the treatment tank, The natural water is pumped from a well located at an altitude of 800m or more at the foot of Mt. Fuji, at a depth of 150m or more underground. The portion of the treatment tank where the multilayer structure is not tightly attached on the outer side of the side surface of the treatment tank, including the height from the bottom of the treatment tank to the water surface where the natural water is stored, is shielded with a metal sheet; The present invention provides treated water derived from natural water, characterized in that the multilayer structure has, from the side furthest from the treatment tank, at least a flat electromagnet and an ore layer containing feldspar powder.

[0015] The present invention also provides the above-mentioned treated water derived from natural water, wherein the natural water is natural water pumped up from a well located in Narusawa Village, Minamitsuru District, Yamanashi Prefecture. The present invention also provides the treated water derived from natural water, wherein the feldspar powder is syenite powder.

[0016] In addition, the present invention is directed to a multilayer structure having a bottom area of ​​4 cm2, the bottom surface being the surface that is in close contact with the outer side surface of the treatment tank. 2 More than 80cm 2The present invention provides treated water derived from natural water, in which the multilayer structures are in the shape of a roughly rectangular prism or roughly cylindrical column as shown below, and 15 to 150 of the multilayer structures are in close contact with the outer side surface of the treatment tank.

[0017] The present invention also provides the above-mentioned natural water-derived treated water, which further has a plurality of different "colored cloth layers woven from fibers containing metals or carbon" inside the ore layer.

[0018] The present invention also provides the above treated water derived from natural water, having an oxidation-reduction potential of +250 mV or less.

[0019] The present invention also provides a dispersion medium for an emulsion, which comprises the above-mentioned treated water derived from natural water.

[0020] The present invention also provides drinking water or raw water for food and beverages, characterized in that it contains the above-mentioned treated water derived from natural water.

[0021] The present invention also provides a lotion or a cosmetic raw material containing the above-mentioned treated water derived from natural water.

[0022] The present invention also provides a hair or skin application agent comprising the above-mentioned treated water derived from natural water. Effect of the Invention

[0023] The natural water-derived treated water of the present invention can easily provide water with an oxidation-reduction potential of +250 mV or less. Furthermore, water with an oxidation-reduction potential of +200 mV or less, more preferably +180 mV or less, and particularly preferably +170 mV or less can also be obtained (it is also possible to obtain water with an oxidation-reduction potential of +170 mV or less). This reduces the oxidizing power of the water, i.e., water that has a low ability to oxidize other substances can be obtained. In other words, substances that come into contact with the water are less likely to be oxidized by the water.

[0024] In general, when water is left in the air, its oxidation-reduction potential tends to increase. The natural water used as the raw material in the present invention also has an oxidation-reduction potential of +160 mV to +170 mV immediately after collection. However, when left in the air, the oxidation-reduction potential increases to, for example, +360 mV to +370 mV or higher. According to the present invention, even if natural water that has been left to stand and has an oxidation-reduction potential of +360 mV or more (even if such natural water is used as a raw material), it can be reduced (returned) to +160 mV to +170 mV or lower. Furthermore, if stored appropriately, the "low oxidation-reduction potential" can be maintained.

[0025] The natural water-derived treated water of the present invention has a low oxidation-reduction potential (as one reason), and therefore is extremely effective as a dispersion medium for emulsions; drinking water or a raw material for food and beverages; raw material for cosmetics such as lotions; raw material for agents to be applied or deposited on hair or skin; etc.

[0026] Specifically, since it has a high emulsifying effect, it is useful as a raw material water for cosmetics and the like. By using it as a raw water for cosmetics such as lotions, it improves the application of makeup and prevents makeup from fading. The cosmetics also include aqueous products for removing makeup. Furthermore, by using it as a raw water for an agent to be applied or provided to hair or skin, it imparts essential moisturizing properties to the skin itself, and imparts moisturizing properties and vitality to the scalp, hair, etc.

[0027] In addition, since the natural water-derived treated water of the present invention has a low oxidation-reduction potential, its use as drinking water or raw water for food and beverages can have an antioxidant effect on the human body.

[0028] There is a type of water with a low oxidation-reduction potential called "hydrogen water." However, the natural water-derived treated water of the present invention is easier to produce than "hydrogen water," and since no additives such as hydrogen gas are added from the outside, it is closer to natural water and is therefore safer.

[0029] In the present invention, the raw water is natural water pumped from a well at a depth of 150 m or more underground at an altitude of 800 m or more on Mount Fuji. The above-mentioned effects of the present invention are difficult to obtain with natural water pumped from wells at other locations, at lower altitudes, or from shallower wells. Furthermore, if tap water is used as the raw material, the above-mentioned effects of the present invention cannot be obtained even if the tap water is subsequently treated with a reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane) and then treated with a multi-layer structure.

[0030] The natural water at the above-mentioned locations, altitudes, and depths is ultra-soft water with a hardness (calcium and magnesium content) of 19 to 22. In addition, the content of nitrates and nitrites is extremely low. This property is of course maintained and even enhanced by the treatment of the present invention, which also results in the excellent effects described above.

[0031] Natural water is generally characterized by the inclusion of specific minerals (metal ions and other elements other than oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen). In the present invention, the characteristics of the "specific natural water" are unlikely to be lost even when the water is passed through a reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane). This is because the natural water-derived treated water of the present invention, even though it is water that has been passed through a reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane), is distinguished in terms of performance from water that has been passed through a reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane) using other natural water or tap water.

[0033] The present invention will be described below, however, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments below and can be modified as desired within the scope of the technical concept.

[0034] The natural water-derived treated water of the present invention is obtained by storing natural water that has been passed through a reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane) for 12 hours or more in a treatment tank having a plurality of multilayer structures tightly attached to the outer side of the tank, The natural water is pumped from a well located at an altitude of 800m or more at the foot of Mt. Fuji, at a depth of 150m or more underground. The portion of the treatment tank where the multilayer structure is not tightly attached on the outer side of the side surface of the treatment tank, including the height from the bottom of the treatment tank to the water surface where the natural water is stored, is shielded with a metal sheet; The multi-layer structure is characterized in that, from the side remote from the treatment tank, it has at least a flat electromagnet and an ore layer containing feldspar powder.

[0035] <Natural water used as raw material> In the present invention, the natural water used as the raw material is natural water pumped up from a well located at an altitude of 800 m or more at the foot of Mt. Fuji, at a depth of 150 m or more underground. The above natural water may hereinafter be abbreviated as "specific natural water."

[0036] Within the range evaluated, all of the products that met the above conditions, when made into final natural water-derived treated water, had superior emulsion effect (the effect of dispersing oil in water); taste as suitable for drinking water or as a raw material for food and beverages; suitability for moisturizing properties as a cosmetic raw material; and effectiveness as a hair or skin application agent, compared to those that did not. The specific raw water is passed through a reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane), but there are substances that are not removed and physical properties that do not change, which may affect the performance and effects described above.

[0037] The altitude of the site where the well is located must be 800 m or more, preferably 850 m or more, more preferably 900 m or more, and particularly preferably 1000 m or more and 2000 m or less. The depth of the well must be at least 150 m below the ground surface, preferably at least 200 m, more preferably at least 250 m, and particularly preferably between 300 and 500 m. In addition, the water at the above altitude (1000m) and depth (300m) (the water at the pumping point) is water that is at a higher level than the water level of the Fuji Five Lakes.

[0038] In addition, the specific natural water is preferably collected from a water vein located beneath a "basalt layer" which is a lava layer, more preferably from beneath four or more basalt layers, and particularly preferably from beneath six or more basalt layers. By filling the well at the location and depth mentioned above, the water below the basalt layer can be pumped up.

[0039] It is particularly preferable that the specific raw water is natural water pumped up from a well located in Narusawa Village, Minamitsuru County, Yamanashi Prefecture, since this makes it easier to achieve the above conditions and effects.

[0040] This specific natural water contains large amounts of vanadium (V) and silicon. In addition, hydrogen (H 2 ) at 4.0 ppb or more, the cluster size is 83±10%, and the redox potential is 160-175 mV immediately after pumping.

[0041] As for the oxidation-reduction potential of the final natural water-derived treated water, there exists a "preferable value range" (relatively low positive values) in which the above-mentioned performance and effects are easily achieved, as described later. As described above, the redox potential immediately after pumping is 160 to 175 mV, but it has been confirmed that if the water is left open to the atmosphere after pumping, the redox potential rises to approximately 360 mV. Even if specific natural water whose redox potential has increased over time is used, the redox potential of the final natural water-derived treated water will be within the "preferable value range" described below. Therefore, specific natural water whose redox potential has increased over time may be used as the raw material. However, it is preferable to use specific natural water whose redox potential immediately after pumping is "a small positive value."

[0042] <Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane treatment> The pumped natural water is passed through a reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane). The reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane) used is not particularly limited, and may be any of a hollow fiber membrane, a spiral membrane, a tubular membrane, and the like. The material of the membrane is not particularly limited, and may be any of cellulose acetate, aromatic polyamide, polyvinyl alcohol, and the like.

[0043] The conditions of use, such as pressure, time, speed, and passing direction, are set to suitable conditions according to the shape, material, etc. of the reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane).

[0044] <Multilayer structure> The natural water-derived treated water of the present invention is stored for a certain period of time in a treatment tank 10 having multiple multi-layer structures 20 tightly attached to the outer side of the tank (see Figures 1 and 3). It is essential that the multi-layer structure 20 has, from the side furthest from the treatment tank 10, at least a flat electromagnet 21 and an ore layer 23 containing feldspar powder (see Figures 2 and 5).

[0045] The multi-layer structure 20 has a bottom area of ​​4 cm2, the bottom surface of which is in close contact with the outer side surface of the treatment tank 10. 2 More than 80cm 2 The following approximately prismatic or cylindrical shapes are preferable. Within the above range, the electromagnet 21 and the ore layer 23 described below can be suitably manufactured, and the above-mentioned effects can be suitably achieved. The base area is 6 cm 2 More than 50cm 2 Less than 10cm is more preferable. 2 More than 30cm 2 The following are particularly preferred: The shape is not particularly limited, but is preferably an intermediate shape including an approximately prismatic column shape and an approximately cylindrical shape, and is particularly preferably an approximately prismatic column shape or an approximately cylindrical shape. The multilayer structure 20 in the photograph of FIG.

[0046] <<Electromagnets>> The electromagnet 21 located on the "side farther from the water" of the multilayer structure 20 is preferably flat and parallel to the water, i.e., the outer wall of the treatment tank 10, as shown in Figure 2, in terms of magnetic field strength, the installation (closeness) of the multilayer structure 20, etc. The electromagnet 21 may be one or more, but is preferably two. The positions (directions) of the south and north poles of the electromagnet 21, i.e., the direction of the current (winding direction), are not particularly limited, and as shown in Figure 2, the wall (side surface) of the water treatment tank 10 may be either the south pole or the north pole (as long as electricity is passed so that this occurs).

[0047] Moreover, the current passed through the electromagnet 21 may be either direct current or alternating current (see FIG. 6). When it is alternating current, the frequency is preferably 10 Hz or more and 100 Hz or less, and particularly preferably 50 Hz or 60 Hz. Furthermore, when two electromagnets 21 are used in a stacked manner, the current (winding direction) passed through each electromagnet 21 may be in the same direction (forward direction) as in Figures 6(a) and (b), or in opposite directions as in Figures 6(c) and (d).

[0048] The base area of ​​the electromagnet 21 is not particularly limited, and the (particularly) preferred range etc. is the same as that of the base area of ​​the multilayer structure 20 described above. Furthermore, the thickness of the electromagnet 21 is not particularly limited, but when there are a plurality of sheets, the total thickness is preferably 0.5 cm to 4 cm, more preferably 1.0 cm to 3 cm, and particularly preferably 1.5 cm to 2 cm.

The feldspar may be alkali feldspar, plagioclase, etc., and more specifically may be potassium feldspar, albite, anorthite, orthoclase, microcline, mixtures thereof, etc.

[0051] Among these, syenite, which is mainly composed of alkali feldspar, is preferred, and among these, Guiyangite (registered trademark) is particularly preferred.

[0052] The stones or rocks may be crushed into powder or particles, and the powder or particles may be solidified and molded with a binder such as molding resin to form the ore layer 23, or the powder or particles may be solidified and molded as is (without using a binder) to form the ore layer 23, and in this case, they may be fired or sintered at high temperatures.

[0053] The feldspar content at the time of molding is preferably 50% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, more preferably 65% ​​by mass or more, even more preferably 80% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 90% by mass or more and 99% by mass or less, based on the entire ore layer 23. The feldspar contained is preferably overlapped (shielded by feldspar) in the thickness direction of the ore layer 23. The molding resin is not limited, but may be an epoxy resin, an acrylic resin, a urethane resin, a phenolic resin, or the like.

[0054] The feldspar (powder) used in the ore layer 23 is preferably syenite powder, and particularly preferably guiyangite (registered trademark) powder, in terms of the moldability of the ore layer 23 and the effectiveness of the present invention. "Guiyang Stone (registered trademark)" is an ore present in the feldspar layer of granite that was formed by intrusion from the end of the Cretaceous period to the 3rd century BC, and its main component is aluminum silicate. It is a special rare mineral that can be mined at the Gozairi Mine in Hoshina Village, Gunma Prefecture, and is a type of "alternative syenite" with the academic name "alternative syenite."

[0055] The bottom area of ​​the ore layer 23 is not particularly limited, and the (particularly) preferred range etc. are the same as the bottom area of ​​the multilayer structure 20 described above. The thickness of the ore layer 23 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.5 cm to 4 cm, more preferably 1.0 cm to 3 cm, and particularly preferably 1.5 cm to 2 cm.

[0056] <<Colored cloth layer>> The multilayer structure 20 must essentially comprise, from the side furthest from the treatment tank 10, an electromagnet 21 and an ore layer 23, but it is preferable that it further comprises, on the inside of the ore layer 23, a plurality of different "colored cloth layers 24 knitted or woven from fibers containing metal or carbon" (see Figure 2(b)). The colored fabric layer 24 preferably has two or more layers, more preferably has three or more layers, and particularly preferably has four to ten layers.

[0057] As the metal, metals such as aluminum, copper, gold, platinum, titanium, lead, zinc, tin, silicon, etc.; alloys of the above metals such as bronze, brass, brass, stainless steel, etc.; and the like are preferable. Examples of the carbon include graphite, carbon nanofibers, carbon microfibers, carbon nanotubes, and carbon fibers including these. Preferably, the metal and the colored fabric layer 24 are not ferromagnetic.

[0058] <Treatment tank> The natural water-derived treated water of the present invention is obtained by storing the treated water for 12 hours or more in a treatment tank 10 having a plurality of multilayer structures 20 tightly attached to the outer side surface of the treatment tank 10.

[0059] The size of the treatment tank 10 is not particularly limited and is determined according to the amount of water to be treated. The thickness of the (side) wall of the treatment tank 10 is preferably 2 cm or less, more preferably 1.0 cm or less, and particularly preferably 0.1 cm or more and 0.5 cm or less, in order to make it more susceptible to the influence of the multilayer structure 20 that is closely adjacent to it. The material for the (side) wall of the treatment tank 10 is preferably a resin, and polyethylene, polypropylene, or the like is particularly preferred.

[0060] <<Metal sheet>> It is essential that the portions of the outer sides of the treatment tank 10 where the multilayer structure 20 is not tightly attached, including from the bottom of the treatment tank 10 to the water level where the natural water is stored, are shielded with a metal sheet 12. When the treatment tank 10 is shielded by the metal sheet 12, it becomes more susceptible to the influence of the multi-layer structure 20, and the effect of storing natural water is exerted.

[0061] The material of the metal sheet 12 is preferably a non-ferromagnetic metal, more preferably aluminum or copper. The metal sheet 12 is preferably an aluminum sheet and / or a copper sheet, more preferably an aluminum sheet and a copper sheet, and particularly preferably a copper sheet and then an aluminum sheet from the side closer to the (side) wall of the treatment tank 10.

[0062] The metal sheet 12 covers the portion of the outer side of the treatment tank 10 where the multilayer structure 20 is not tightly attached, including from the bottom of the treatment tank 10 to the water level where the natural water is stored. It is preferable that the metal sheet 12 covers (shields) the entire height of the outer side of the treatment tank 10 from the bottom to the upper edge, but it is essential that at a minimum it covers (shields up to the height of the water surface) from the bottom of the treatment tank 10 to the height of the water surface where the natural water is stored.

[0063] <<Close contact of multi-layer structure with treatment tank>> It is essential that the treatment tank 10 has a plurality of multilayer structures 20 closely attached to the outer side surface thereof. Taking into consideration the diameter of a normal treatment tank 10 and the water depth of the treatment tank 10, the term "a plurality" means preferably 15 to 150, more preferably 20 to 100, and particularly preferably 25 to 70.

[0064] The number also depends on the diameter of the treatment tank 10 and the height of the water surface (depth of the water), so the above number range is particularly desirable when the diameter is 1 m and the height (depth) is 0.5 m. When the diameter is p times (the diameter is p [m]), the above preferred number range is p 2 When the height is q times larger (height is 0.5×q [m]), the number range is q times larger. In FIG. 3, twenty multilayer structures 20 are closely attached to the outer side surface (side wall 11) of the treatment tank 10, including the portion not visible.

[0065] There is no particular limitation on the way in which the multilayer structure 20 is closely attached to the treatment tank 10. In Fig. 3, the multilayer structure 20 is closely attached to the wall surface 11 of the treatment tank 10 and fixed thereto with a cable tie. FIG. 3 also shows a conductive wire that energizes the electromagnet 21.

[0066] <Processing time> The natural water-derived treated water of the present invention is obtained by passing the specific natural water through a reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane) and storing it in the treatment tank 10 for 12 hours or more. In order to obtain the effects of the present invention, the storage time is preferably 1 day (24 hours) or more, more preferably 2 days or more, even more preferably 5 days or more, and particularly preferably 10 days or more and 30 days or less. The above storage time is for a batch system, but storage can also be carried out continuously. When carried out continuously, the system is operated continuously so that certain water molecules are present in the treatment tank 10 for the above-mentioned time.

[0067] During the treatment of the specific natural water in the treatment tank 10, as shown in FIG. 5, magnetic field lines pass through the ore layer 23 and enter the water.

[0068] <Method of producing treated water derived from natural water> The natural water-derived treated water of the present invention can be produced by using the above-mentioned apparatus and method. The process for obtaining treated water derived from natural water according to the present invention is shown as a flow chart in FIG.

[0069] <Physical properties of the obtained natural water-derived treated water> <<Oxidation-reduction potential>> The oxidation-reduction potential of the natural water-derived treated water of the present invention is preferably 0 mV or more and +300 mV or less, more preferably +250 mV or less, even more preferably +70 mV or more and +200 mV or less, particularly preferably +120 mV or more and +180 mV or less, and most preferably +160 mV or more and +165 mV or less.

[0073] <Uses of treated water derived from natural water> <<Dispersion medium for emulsions>> The natural water-derived treated water of the present invention has the effect of finely dispersing oily components in the water (see Examples). Therefore, the present invention also relates to a dispersion medium for an emulsion, which is characterized by containing the above-mentioned treated water derived from natural water.

Therefore, the present invention also relates to drinking water or raw water for food and beverages, characterized in that it contains the above-mentioned treated water derived from natural water.

[0076] In addition to being used simply as drinking water, it is also suitable for use in a variety of dishes. In addition, since it has a favorable taste and oxidation-reduction potential (see the Examples), it can be suitably used as a substitute for so-called "hydrogen water" in existing applications. In addition, since it has a diuretic effect (see Examples), it is also suitable for use as drinking water or a diuretic.

[0077] <<Lotion or cosmetic ingredient water>> The natural water-derived treated water of the present invention has water-retentive properties for the skin. When water is applied or spread to the skin, it is natural that the skin becomes moist immediately after application, but the natural water-derived treated water of the present invention can basically provide the skin with water-retentive properties (see Examples). This is evident from the results of evaluating the moisturizing effect of the natural water-derived treated water of the present invention on the skin after it has been applied to the skin for several days and before it is applied to the skin the next day (see Examples).

[0078] Therefore, the present invention also relates to a lotion or a raw material water for cosmetics, characterized in that it contains the above-mentioned treated water derived from natural water. Cosmetics used as a "raw material water for cosmetics" also include cosmetics for hair.

[0079] <<Hair or skin application>> The natural water-derived treated water of the present invention can impart moisturizing properties to hair and scalp (see Examples).

[0080] Therefore, the present invention also relates to a hair or skin application agent or a hair growth agent, which is characterized by containing the above-mentioned treated water derived from natural water. EXAMPLES

[0081] The present invention will be explained in more detail below by giving Production Examples, Examples and Comparative Examples, but the present invention is not limited to these as long as it does not depart from the gist of the invention.

[0082] Example 1 <Aspects of Treatment Tank and Multilayer Structure> Twenty multilayer structures 20 were placed in close contact at approximately equal intervals on the outer side wall of a polyethylene treatment tank (container) 10, whose base was 1 m in diameter and 2 m in height, up to the bottom third position (approximately 70 cm from the bottom) (see photograph in Figure 3). The multilayer structure 20 had, for example, as shown generally in Figures 1 and 2(a), a 7 mm thick ore layer 23 and a 10 mm thick electromagnet 21 from the side that was in close contact with the treatment tank 10.

[0083] The ore layer 23 was made by incorporating powder of Guiyangseki (registered trademark) (manufactured by Gunma Feldspar Partnership), which is a type of syenite, a type of feldspar, into a thermosetting epoxy resin so that the powder was 70 mass % of the ore layer 23 as a whole, and then hardening it.The ore layer 23 was molded to a length of 4 cm, width of 4 cm, and thickness of 0.7 cm.

[0084] The electromagnet 21 is made by winding a conductive wire around an iron core parallel to the surface of the treatment tank 10 so that the magnetic field lines are perpendicular to the surface of the treatment tank 10 that it is in close contact with. As shown in Figure 6, two flat electromagnets 21, each 4 cm in diameter and 5 mm thick, form a two-layer structure (total thickness 10 mm).

[0085] Schematic cross-sectional views of a multilayer structure 20 including the ore layer 23 and the electromagnet 21 are shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2(a) and FIG. In FIG. 3, 20 multi-layer structures 20 each having a length of 4 cm, width of 4 cm, and thickness of 2 cm (= ore layer 0.7 cm + electromagnet 1 cm + casing etc. 0.3 cm) are closely arranged on the outer peripheral side wall 11 of the treatment tank (container) 10. That is, the multi-layer structure 20 has a bottom area of ​​16 cm. 2 It was a rectangular prism (cuboid) 2 cm in height.

[0086] As shown in the photograph of Fig. 3, the multilayer structure 20 was fixed with a cable tie so as to be in close contact with the outer side wall 11 of the side surface of the treatment tank (container) 10. Conductive wires 22 extend from the electromagnets 21 of the multilayer structure 20 to connect each multilayer structure 20 (see Fig. 3), and the conductive wires 22 were connected to a DC or AC power source (see Fig. 6).

[0087] The outer side walls of the treatment tank 10 from the bottom to the water level where the natural water was stored, i.e., from the bottom 1 / 3 of the way up to the position (about 70 cm from the bottom) were covered with copper foil, and then the outside of that was covered with aluminum foil (see Figures 2(a) and 3). However, since the multilayer structure 20 needs to be in close contact with the treatment bath 10, the copper foil and aluminum foil in the area where the multilayer structure 20 exists were cut to fit the shape of the multilayer structure 20 (FIGS. 1 to 3).

[0088] <Water as raw material> The water used as the raw material was natural water pumped from a well at an altitude of 1,030 m at the foot of Mt. Fuji in Narusawa Village, Tsuru County, Yamanashi Prefecture, at a depth of 300 m. Specifically, it was obtained from Kiho Co., Ltd. The natural water used above was pumped up from a water vein beneath six layers of basalt rock at the foot of Mt. Fuji, and was used immediately after being pumped up (immediately after collection).

[0089] The composition of the natural water used as the raw material and its physical properties immediately after collection were as follows: Calcium (Ca) 5.2mg / L Magnesium (Mg) 1.8mg / L Sodium (Na) 6.9mg / L Potassium (K) 1.0mg / L Vanadium(V) 0.13mg / L Silicon (Si) 14.0 mg / L pH 8.6 Electrical conductivity: 7.5mS / m Hardness 20 mg / L (soft water) Oxidation-reduction potential: 160-165mV

[0090] <Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane treatment> The natural water was subjected to reverse osmosis (RO) membrane treatment immediately after collection. The reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane) used was a hollow fiber membrane formed into a hollow fiber shape, and filtration was performed from the outside to the inside of the fiber. The pressure, passing speed (flow rate), processing time, etc. were performed according to the usual methods recommended by the reverse osmosis membrane manufacturer.

[0091] <Treatment in a treatment tank with a multi-layer structure in close contact> The natural water that had been treated with the reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane) described above was poured into the treatment tank (container) 10 up to a position one-third from the bottom (approximately 70 cm from the bottom) and stored in the treatment tank 10 for 5 days (120 hours). During this time, electricity was constantly applied to the electromagnet 21 of the multi-layered structure 20. The electromagnet 21 was configured as shown in Fig. 6(a), and an alternating current of 50 Hz was applied.

[0092] After 5 days (120 hours), the resulting “treated water derived from natural water” was removed from the bottom of the treatment tank (container) 10. The obtained natural water-derived treated water was evaluated as described below. The evaluation results are shown in Table 1. Although the above is a batch process, continuous or semi-continuous processing was also carried out with the processing time being substantially the same, and the evaluation results described below were similar.

[0093] Example 2 Natural water-derived treated water was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the treatment time in the treatment tank 10 was shortened from "5 consecutive days" to "12 consecutive hours." The obtained natural water-derived treated water was evaluated as described below. The evaluation results are shown in Table 1.

[0094] Example 3 In Example 1, natural water-derived treated water was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that natural water that had been pumped and stored in a container in the air for three months was used instead of natural water that had been pumped (immediately after collection). The obtained natural water-derived treated water was evaluated as described below. The evaluation results are shown in Table 1.

[0095] Comparative Example 1 Treated water was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that tap water from Tokyo was used instead of natural water immediately after pumping (immediately after collection). The treated water thus obtained was evaluated as described below. The evaluation results are shown in Table 1.

[0096] Comparative Example 2 Treated water derived from natural water was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane) treatment in Example 1 was replaced by treatment with an MF (microfiltration membrane). The obtained natural water-derived treated water was evaluated as described below. The evaluation results are shown in Table 1.

[0097] Comparative Example 3 Treated water derived from natural water was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that membrane treatment including reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane) treatment was not carried out. The obtained natural water-derived treated water was evaluated as described below. The evaluation results are shown in Table 1.

[0098] Comparative Example 4 Treated water derived from natural water was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that treatment was not carried out in the treatment tank 10 in which the multilayer structure 20 was placed. The obtained natural water-derived treated water was evaluated as described below. The evaluation results are shown in Table 1.

[0099] Evaluation example 1 <Oxidation-reduction potential> The measurements were performed using the platinum electrode method with 3.33 mol / L KCl-Ag / AgCl as the reference electrode, following the instructions for the device. The model used was the "F-73" manufactured by Horiba Ltd. The results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0100] Evaluation example 2 <Emulsion effect> In imitation of lipstick, 1 part by mass of castor oil containing 5% by mass of carnauba wax was dropped into 100 parts by mass of the obtained natural water-derived treated water, and the mixture was stirred with a stirrer for 1 hour. The castor oil was visually observed to see whether it was dispersed in the water as an emulsion and the degree of dispersion, and judged according to the following criteria. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0101] "◎": Formed an emulsion and completely dispersed in water "○": Dispersed in water as an emulsion "△": Formed an emulsion and only dispersed to a certain extent in water "X": Formed an emulsion and did not disperse at all in water

[0102] Evaluation example 3 <Sensory evaluation of taste> For the taste, 20 people, aged between their 20s and 70s, were asked to drink 20 mL of the treated water, divided into five portions, five times at 10-minute intervals, and record the taste. The results of the 100 sensory taste tests conducted by 20 people were combined and judged according to the following criteria. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0103] "◎" Very delicious "○" Delicious "△" Bad taste "X" Very bad taste

[0104] Evaluation example 4 <Sensory evaluation of diuretic effect> To evaluate the "diuretic effect," a total of 20 people aged between 20 and 70 years were asked to drink 180 mL of the treated water, three times a day for four consecutive days, and then assess the diuretic effect of the water on themselves after the test. The "diagnosis results of diuretic effect" of 20 people were combined and judged according to the following criteria. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0105] "◎" It had a very strong diuretic effect. "○" It had a diuretic effect. "△" Did not have much diuretic effect "X": No diuretic effect at all

[0106] Evaluation example 5 <Sensory evaluation of skin moisturizing effect> For the "skin moisturizing effect," a total of 20 people, aged between their 20s and 70s, were asked to apply 20 mL of the resulting natural water-derived treated water to their elbows and thighs, three times a day for four consecutive days, and the skin moisturizing effect was then observed.

[0107] Specifically, we asked them to record the elimination of dry skin, the elimination of itchy skin, and the improvement in dry skin (increased moisturizing ability). The observations of the "skin moisturizing effect" of 20 people were compiled, and the quantitative values ​​of "moisture content (SMC)," "skin elasticity (tightness) (SE)," and "skin age (SA)" in Evaluation Example 8 described below were also used as reference. Since the skin is naturally moistened by the water immediately after application, the above measurements, including the water content (SMC), were taken immediately before application of the treated water derived from natural water on the same day.

[0108] The skin moisturizing effect was judged according to the following criteria, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0109] "◎" Has a very moisturizing effect on the skin "○" Has a skin moisturizing effect "△" Did not have much moisturizing effect on the skin. "X": No skin moisturizing effect at all

[0110] Evaluation Example 6 <Sensory evaluation of hair moisturizing effect> For the "hair moisturizing effect," a total of 10 people in their 20s to 40s were asked to apply 50 mL of the resulting treated water derived from natural water to their hair and scalp, three times a day for four consecutive days, and the effects afterwards were observed. Specifically, we asked them to record the smoothness of their hair, their hair moisturizing effect, etc. The evaluation of the "hair moisturizing effect" is a sensory evaluation, and does not directly mean that the hair has actually become hygroscopic. The "effect on hair" of the 10 people was summarized and judged according to the following criteria. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0111] "◎" I felt like my hair's moisture retention had improved significantly. "○" I felt like my hair's moisture retention had improved. "△" I didn't feel like my hair's moisture retention improved much. "X": I didn't feel like my hair's moisture retention improved at all.

[0112] Evaluation Example 7 <Sensory evaluation of makeup adhesion and makeup smear prevention effects> For the "effect on makeup adhesion and prevention of makeup wear," a total of 10 women in their 20s to 60s were asked to apply 20 mL of the resulting treated water derived from natural water to their faces, three times a day for four consecutive days, and the effects afterwards were observed. Specifically, we asked them to record whether their makeup was sticking well and whether there was any reduction in the appearance of makeup smudges. The effects of the 10 people were combined and judged according to the following criteria, also taking into account the quantitative value of "skin age (SA)" in Evaluation Example 8 described later. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0113] "◎" Has a very good effect on preventing makeup from sticking and fading "○" Has the effect of preventing makeup from sticking and fading "△" Not very effective in preventing makeup from sticking or fading "X": No effect on makeup application or preventing makeup from fading

[0114] [Table 1]

[0115] <Summary of Evaluation Examples 1 to 7 for Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4> As can be seen from Table 1, the natural water-derived treated water of Example 1 showed excellent performance in all evaluated items. The evaluation of "taste" and "diuretic effect" demonstrated that the treated water derived from natural water of the present invention is excellent as drinking water or raw material water for food and beverages. Furthermore, other evaluations have demonstrated that the treated water derived from natural water of the present invention is excellent as a lotion or raw material for cosmetics, and as an application agent for hair or skin.

[0116] The raw water used had an oxidation-reduction potential of 160 to 165 mV immediately after it was pumped from the well (immediately after it was collected), but when it was stored in an open container exposed to the air, the oxidation-reduction potential rose to 360 mV in about three months (Example 3). However, when the aged water was subjected to reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane) treatment and treatment in the treatment tank 10, the redox potential was 160 to 165 mV, and the sensory evaluation was also excellent (Example 3).

[0117] Tap water also showed an oxidation-reduction potential of 550 to 600 mV, but the water that was treated with a reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane) and in a treatment tank 10 having a multilayer structure 20 had an oxidation-reduction potential of 160 to 165 mV (Comparative Example 1). However, the results of the sensory test were poor (Comparative Example 1).

[0118] It was found that the treatment of Example 1 (reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane) treatment and treatment in a specific treatment tank) reduces the absolute value of the redox potential in the positive direction. In other words, it was found that water with a reduced tendency to oxidize other substances was prepared. This suggests that the natural water-derived treated water of Example 1 has the effect of deactivating oxidizing substances such as active oxygen. This property is equal to or better than that of hydrogen water, and the natural water-derived treated water of the present invention is easier to produce.

[0119] The treatment time in the treatment tank 10 containing the multilayer structure 20 is particularly preferably 5 days or more (Examples 1 and 3), but the evaluation results were excellent even for a treatment time of 12 hours (Example 2).

[0120] When "treatment in the treatment tank 10 having the multilayer structure 20" was not performed, the results of the sensory test were poor, similar to the raw water itself used in Example 1 (Comparative Example 4).

[0121] The sample in which the reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane) was replaced with a microfiltration membrane (MF) (Comparative Example 2) and the sample in which no membrane treatment was performed (Comparative Example 3) both had poor sensory evaluations. It has been found that unless reverse osmosis (RO) membrane treatment is performed, the effect of treatment in the "treatment tank 10 having the multi-layer structure 20" cannot be obtained.

[0122] From the above, it was found that "the use of specific natural water," "treatment using a reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane)," and "treatment in a treatment tank 10 having a multi-layer structure 20" are all essential for achieving excellent performance in the evaluated items.

[0123] Example 4 When the configuration of electromagnet 21 in Example 1 (FIG. 6(a)) was replaced with the configurations in FIGS. 6(b), 6(c), and 6(d), a certain degree of effect was obtained in all of the sensory tests, but the configurations in FIGS. 6(c) and 6(d) were particularly excellent.

[0124] Example 5 Treated water derived from natural water was prepared and evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the "ore layer 23 in which powder of Kiyoseki (registered trademark) (manufactured by Gunma Feldseki Partnership) was incorporated into resin and hardened and molded" in Example 1 was replaced with a "molded ore layer 23 made of Kiyoseki (registered trademark) (manufactured by Gunma Feldseki Partnership) itself." All sensory tests showed that the treated water was as excellent as Example 1.

[0125] Example 6 Treated water derived from natural water was prepared and evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1, except that instead of the multilayer structure 20 used in Example 1, a multilayer structure 20 was used in which a colored fabric layer 24 as shown in Figure 2(b) was further provided on the treatment tank side, i.e., the water side, of the multilayer structure 20. All sensory tests showed that the treated water was equal to or better than that of Example 1.

[0126] Evaluation Example 8 The natural water-derived treated water obtained in Example 1 was used to measure the following items using a skin checker, "Real Bubee."

[0127] Skin Moisuture Content =SMC(moisture content) Skin Elasticity = SE Skin Elasticity (Firmness) Skin Oil Content = SOC Skin Age =SA

[0128] The subjects consisted of eight men and women in their 30s to 70s. They were instructed to apply the treated water derived from natural water to designated areas of the face five times a day for four days, and on the fifth day, the above items were measured using the above-mentioned device. The results are shown in Table 2 below. In Table 2, the values ​​before application of the natural water-derived treated water (i.e., the measured values ​​before application on the first day) are shown in the "Before Use" row, and the measured values ​​before application on the fifth day after application for four days are shown in the "After Use" row.

[0129] [Table 2]

[0130] As can be seen from Table 2, most subjects had increased SMC (moisture content) and SE skin elasticity (tightness) before and after use (after 4 days of application). Additionally, the SA (skin age) of most subjects decreased before and after use (after four days of application). From this, it was found that the treated water derived from natural water of the present invention is excellent as a lotion or raw material for cosmetics, and also as an agent for applying to the skin.

[0131] Furthermore, as can be seen from Table 2, the SOC (skin oil content) of most subjects decreased before and after use (after 4 days of application). This indicates that oil was removed from the skin, and that the natural water-derived treated water emulsified and removed the oil. This also suggests that the natural water-derived treated water of the present invention has an emulsification effect and is excellent as a dispersion medium for emulsions.

[0132] Evaluation Example 9 Using the treated water derived from natural water obtained in Example 1, the following evaluations were carried out separately from Evaluation Examples 5 to 7. That is, the sensory evaluations of Evaluation Example 5 (skin moisturizing effect), Evaluation Example 6 (hair moisturizing effect), and Evaluation Example 7 (makeup adhesion and makeup smear prevention effect) were carried out in detail using the same evaluation method and judging criteria.

[0133] The subjects were four in their 20s, four in their 30s, four in their 40s, six in their 50s, six in their 60s, and two in their 70s. "Skin" was evaluated (judged) separately for the skin on the face and the skin on the whole body (mainly the thighs). "Hair moisturizing" was evaluated (judged) separately for the "scalp" and "hair".

[0134] The results are shown in Table 3 below. The results in Table 3 are the judgment results when the evaluation was performed in the same manner as in Evaluation Examples 5 to 7 after application (application) for 4 days.

[0135] The blank columns for "allergy" and "drug rash" in Table 3 indicate cases where the subject "did not have" these conditions from the beginning and no change (occurrence) occurred after administration (application). In Table 3, for subjects with evaluation results recorded under "allergy" or "drug rash," the condition before the application of the treated water derived from natural water of the present invention was all marked "X." Regarding "allergies" and "drug rash," the improvement from "×" is rated from "△" to "◎." "×" indicates no improvement, "△" indicates only slight improvement, "○" indicates improvement, and "◎" indicates complete improvement.

[0136] [Table 3]

[0137] As can be seen from Table 3, with the exception of one of the 26 subjects, the performance and effects of the natural water-derived treated water of the present invention (Example 1) improved in most subjects before and after use (after four days of application). Furthermore, by using the natural water-derived treated water of the present invention, all subjects who had not suffered from allergies or drug rashes did not develop any allergies or drug rashes, and the nine subjects who had suffered from allergies or drug rashes saw their allergies or drug rashes improve.

[0138] From this, it was found that the treated water derived from natural water of the present invention is excellent as a lotion or raw material for cosmetics, and as an application agent for hair or skin.

[0139] Evaluation Example 10 Only the natural water-derived treated water of Example 1 was applied to the right elbow of the female subject No. 3 in her 40s in Table 3, which had severe flaking, for three consecutive days, and the condition of the subject "before application on the day" was photographed (photographed at 3 p.m. each day). The results are shown in FIG. 7. Naturally, the condition is good (moisturized) immediately after application, so we asked the subjects to take photos before application on the day of application. We also asked the subjects to take photos before application on the fourth day. The photograph in Figure 7 shows the condition of the skin on the elbow, with the readings from the measuring device simply reflected in the photograph.

[0140] Figure 7(a) Day 1 (beginning of evaluation, before application): Measurements were taken indoors at a room temperature of 25°C and a humidity of 45%. The right elbow is dry, keratinized, and itchy, with the skin peeling off and bleeding.

[0141] Figure 7(b) Day 2 (before application on the day): The condition of the skin had also improved slightly; the itching from a day earlier had disappeared, and the sensation to the touch had also improved slightly.

[0142] Figure 7(c) Day 3 (before application on the day): There was not much difference from the second day, but the peeling of the skin on my right elbow, which had been keratinized and peeling, had decreased and it felt a little moist to the touch. The rough texture of the skin from the first day was clearly no longer visible.

[0143] Figure 7(d) Day 4 (before application on the day): The dry and keratinized skin on my right elbow was completely different from the first day, there was no itching or pain, and the color of the skin surface, which had been dark and reddish-black, was clearly improving. The condition of my skin also improved, with less dryness, flaking, redness, and dark spots. Even with the naked eye, it was clear that my skin was returning to normal.

[0144] Evaluation Example 11 Only the natural water-derived treated water of Example 1 was applied daily for three consecutive days to the extremely dry and rough affected area on the inside of the left thigh of a male subject in his 60s (Table 3) identified as Subject No. 3. We asked them to take photos of the condition "before application on the day" (photographs were taken at 3:00 pm every day). The results are shown in Figure 8. Naturally, the condition is good (moisturized) immediately after application, so we asked the subjects to take photos before application on the day of application. We also asked the subjects to take photos before application on the fourth day. The photograph in Figure 8 shows the condition of the skin on the thighs, with the readings from the measuring device simply visible in the photograph.

[0145] Figure 8(a) Day 1 (beginning of evaluation, before application) Figure 8(b) Day 2 (before application on the day) Figure 8(c) Day 3 (before application on the day) Figure 8(d) Day 4 (before application on the day)

[0146] During these four days, the moisture content returned to above normal levels, and as shown in Figure 8, the redness, itchiness, and flaking of the left thigh showed signs of improvement. [Industrial Applicability]

[0147] The natural water-derived treated water of the present invention is ultra-soft water, has a low redox potential, has an emulsifying effect, is excellent in taste and skin moisturizing properties, and is easy to produce, and therefore is widely used in the manufacturing fields of foods and beverages, cosmetics, hair products, sanitary products, chemicals, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
