[0074]

[0075] In the solid soap of the present invention, in the first and second embodiments, a space (a) is formed between the handle (13) and the outer surface of the cleansing body (20), and when the hand is inserted into this space (a) to use it, the solid soap can be easily held so that it does not fall to the floor even if it slips or is dropped, and in addition, the space (a) can serve to be hung on a protrusion such as a ring, so that it can avoid contact with moisture during storage, and can prevent the solid soap from becoming soft.

[0076]

[0077] Meanwhile, in the present invention, the liquid soap or gel-type soap is solidified by sufficiently absorbing the liquid soap or gel-type soap into the base (11), and the soap is solidified while wrapping around the base (11) or the base (11) and the connecting part (12), thereby forming a pad-shaped cleansing body (20).

[0078]

[0079] In this embodiment, liquid soap means a liquid state in the step of adding an alkaline agent to the oil to initiate a saponification reaction before solidification in the process of manufacturing solid soap. Therefore, in this embodiment, the liquid soap can be used without any particular limitation as long as it is widely known in the technical field to which the present invention pertains, and the cleansing body (20) in this embodiment can be manufactured using a saponification-salting method, a heating method, a cold process, a neutralization method, etc., which are known as soap manufacturing methods, without any particular limitation.

[0080]

[0081] In addition, in this embodiment, the gel-type soap is manufactured by adding a thickening agent such as gelatin to a liquid soap base. In this embodiment, the gel-type soap can be used without any special limitation as long as it is widely known in the technical field to which the present invention belongs.

[0082]

[0083] In addition, the cleansing body (20) of the present embodiment may include various additional ingredients that can be included in soap other than the oil and alkaline agent without any particular limitation, and preferably, the liquid soap may include at least one selected from the group consisting of a surfactant, an AHA (α-Hydroxy Acid) component, and a BHA (β-Hydroxy Acid) component that can cleanse the skin and remove waste, dead skin cells, and cosmetics.

[0084]

[0085] In addition, the cleansing body (20) of the present embodiment may further include active ingredients that have whitening, antioxidant, skin regeneration, wrinkle prevention, soothing, and moisturizing effects on the skin in addition to the above-described ingredients.

[0086]

[0087] Fig. 5 is a drawing showing the bottom surface of a core on which a filling body is formed. As shown in Fig. 5, the filling body is formed as a mesh structure (net structure) and is provided as an integral part on the bottom surface of the core.

[0088]

[0089] As described above, when the present invention forms a cleansing body (20) on a core in which the support part (11) and the handle (13) are integrally provided or in which the support part (11) and the handle (13) are integrally provided via a connecting part (12), the handle (13) and the cleansing body (20) are firmly integrated.

[0090]

[0091] Accordingly, the present invention has the effect of enabling convenient and efficient use for a long period of time, as the support portion (11) functions as a core, preventing the cleansing body (20) from becoming mushy even after long-term use, and the support portion (11) functions as a fixed attachment, preventing the handle (13) from being easily separated from the cleansing body (20).

[0092]

[0093] In addition, the present invention has the effect that the support (11) is made of a porous material (e.g., a sponge), so that the liquid cleansing material forming the cleansing body (20) is well absorbed and adsorbed into the support (11), and thus the forming of the cleansing body (20) can be made easy and convenient.

[0094]

[0095] Furthermore, the present invention has the effect of making it convenient to form a cleansing body (20) on the core (10) by forming the core (10) as a single piece.

[0096]

[0097] In addition, the present invention has the effect of efficiently using the cleansing body (20) without leaving any residue, as a small amount of the cleansing body (20) is absorbed into the porous material support (11) to produce sufficient foam.

[0098]

[0099] In addition, the present invention has the effect of minimizing the impact applied to the cleansing body (20) even when an external impact (for example, dropping during use) occurs due to the excellent elasticity, absorbency, and adsorption of the support portion (11), thereby preventing damage to the cleansing body (20).

[0100]

[0101] In addition, the present invention has excellent elasticity, absorbency, and adsorption of the support (11), so that when a certain amount of a solid cleansing body (20) is used and the volume of the cleansing body (20) is reduced (the thickness is thinned), sufficient foam is generated and the cleansing effect can be efficiently exerted according to the skin texture, hand movements, or various curves, and a gentle massage effect can also be expected when in contact with the skin.

[0102]

[0103] Moreover, the present invention can function as a foam generating device even without a separate foam generating device (sponge, towel, dust towel, etc.), so it is very easy to use and has a convenient effect.

[0104]

[0105] In addition, the present invention can prevent the risk of falling during use by allowing the user to use it using the handle (13), and can improve the convenience of use by allowing the user to rub the cleansing body (20) on the area of ​​use while adjusting the contact strength.

[0106]

[0107] In addition, the present invention can be stored by hanging it on a surrounding structure such as a toilet or washroom using the handle (13) after use, so that it can be conveniently stored in various places while blocking contact with water without a separate storage case.

[0108]

[0109] In addition, the present invention can display various information (logos, promotional phrases, designs, etc.) on handles (13) of various colors, widths, and shapes, so that it has the effect of enabling product promotion, advertising, and public knowledge notification at a very low cost.

[0110]

[0111] In addition, the present invention has the effect of increasing user satisfaction by allowing a good fragrance to be stored in a porous material support (11) for a long period of time.

[0112]

[0113] In addition, the present invention has a peeling body, and has the effect of efficiently removing unnecessary impurities, dead skin cells, sebum, etc. on the skin when used.

[0114]

[0115] In addition, the present invention has the effect of producing a practical solid soap that is both aesthetically pleasing and practical, by allowing a cleansing body (20) having different characteristics on one side and the other side of the support (11) to be absorbed by liquid cleansing substances having different colors or ingredients, respectively.

[0116]

[0117] Furthermore, the present invention forms a mesh-structured peeling body on the bottom surface of the support, so that the cleansing body can be recycled as a cleansing pad after it is completely used, making it efficient in utilizing resources.
