Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a bathing agent produced by compounding an iron salt and an organic acid (salt), effective in stabilizing iron salt in bathwater and preventing deposition of insoluble iron compound to towel, etc., and exhibiting excellent effect against anemia and oversensitivity to cold. CONSTITUTION:A bathing agent is compounded with 0.1-20wt.%, preferably 0.5-10wt.% water-soluble ferrous or ferric salt (preferably sulfate or chloride) based on the whole bathing agent and with >=0.01mol, preferably 0.05-1.0mol of an organic acid (dicarboxylic acid or tricarboxylic acid) and/or its alkali metal salt or ammonium salt based on 1mol of the iron salt. The iron salt is preferably a ferrous salt having remarkable effect to anemia.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention has an excellent effect on anemia and sensitivity to cold by stabilizing iron salts in bath water, and also prevents insoluble iron from being added to washcloths, towels, etc. The present invention relates to bath additives that also have the effect of preventing dyeing of compounds.

[Prior art]

Conventionally used bath additives are mainly composed of a mixture of inorganic salts such as sodium sulfate, sodium chloride, boric acid, and alkali carbonate salts, and are supplemented with auxiliary ingredients such as oils, fragrances, and colorants. It gives aroma and color to the bath water, makes you feel refreshed when bathing, promotes blood circulation,
It activates the metabolism and is effective against sensitivity to cold, recovery from fatigue, etc., and is widely used in general.

In addition to these benefits such as making bathing more enjoyable and relieving fatigue, bath additives have recently become available that are effective against anemia and sensitivity to cold, which are not only common among women (but also among men). desired.

Anemia is thought to be mainly caused by a lack of iron due to an unbalanced diet, and the treatment for this is to consume iron-rich foods such as spinach, Chinese chrysanthemum, liver and kidneys from cows and pigs. Although necessary, this alone is not sufficient, so a drug containing iron is also used in combination.

However, this type of drug is difficult to swallow and has poor intestinal absorption.

On the other hand, hot springs have traditionally been used to treat anemia and sensitivity to cold, especially hot springs containing a lot of iron salts.

Its effects have been generally recognized for a long time.

However, since such iron salts are unstable compounds, they are easily oxidized or hydrated in baths and converted into water-insoluble iron compounds. Therefore, there is a problem in that the inherent effects of iron ions on anemia and sensitivity to cold gradually decrease. Furthermore, this water-insoluble iron compound adheres to washcloths, towels, etc., causing them to turn brown, and also has the disadvantage that washcloths, etc. to which this substance has adhered do not easily come off even when washed.

〔the purpose〕

An object of the present invention is to provide a bath additive that has excellent effects on anemia and sensitivity to cold and does not cause discoloration of washcloths, towels, etc.

〔composition〕

According to the present invention, there is provided a bath agent characterized in that it contains an iron salt and an organic acid or/and an organic acid salt.

Since the bath agent of the present invention contains an organic acid or/and an organic acid salt together with an iron salt, the iron salt can be sufficiently stabilized during use, so it has excellent effects on anemia, sensitivity to cold, etc. In addition, since the formation of water-insoluble iron compounds is suppressed, it also has the effect of preventing discoloration of washcloths, towels, etc.

The present invention will be explained in detail below.

In the present invention, as the iron salt, water-soluble divalent and trivalent iron salts are generally used, and divalent iron salts are particularly preferably used because they have a remarkable effect on anemia. As the salt, both organic and inorganic acid salts can be used, but sulfates and hydrochlorides are preferred from the viewpoint of stability.

In addition to anhydrous salts, these iron salts may also be compounds having water of crystallization, such as Fe(If)SO2.XH.
, 0, a compound where X=0, 1, 4, 5, 7 (green bread) is exemplified.

The above-mentioned water-soluble iron salts used in the present invention are well known, and representative compounds thereof include ferrous sulfate, ferric sulfate, and ferrous chloride.

Examples include ferric chloride.

The amount of iron salt blended is 0.1 to 20% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 10% by weight, based on the total amount of the bath agent. If the amount is less than 0.1% by weight, the effect on anemia and sensitivity to cold will be insufficient, and if it exceeds 20% by weight, the bath water may emit an unpleasant odor, which is not preferable.

That is, in general, bath additives are 10~
In this case, in the present invention, it is appropriate that the iron ion concentration in the bath water be approximately 0.01 to 20 ppm.

In the present invention, an organic acid and/or an organic acid salt are used to stabilize the iron salt. As such organic acids, water-soluble polycarboxylic acids, particularly dicarboxylic acids and tricarboxylic acids, are used.

Specific examples include citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, glutaric acid, and adipic acid.

Furthermore, as the organic acid salt, alkali metal salts and ammonium salts of the various organic acids mentioned above are preferably used. For example, sodium citrate, potassium citrate, ammonium citrate, sodium tartrate, sodium malate,
Examples include sodium succinate.

In the present invention, such organic acids and organic acid salts are appropriately selected depending on the various effects of the bath additive, but citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, and their sodium salts are particularly preferably used. .

There is no particular restriction on the amount of organic acid or/and organic acid salt used, but it is 0.01 mol or more, preferably 0.0 mol or more based on the iron salt.
It is desirable to blend 5 to 1.0 mol. If the amount used is less than 0.01 mol based on the iron salt, the stabilization of the iron salt will be insufficient and the amount of insoluble iron compounds produced will increase. Undesirable.

In addition to the above-mentioned essential ingredients, the bath agent of the present invention contains sodium chloride, potassium iodide, ammonium chloride, sodium sulfate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium sesquicarbonate, aluminum sulfate, potassium sulfide, potassium sulfate, and boric acid. , borax, silicic anhydride, metasilicic acid,
