Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a skin cleansing/wiping agent composition, and more specifically, it is used by spraying or applying it onto toilet paper, etc. to reduce the adverse effects of friction on the skin. While maintaining the strength of the toilet paper, the area around the anus,
The present invention relates to a skin cleansing and wiping agent composition capable of removing dirt around the urinary tract and vulva.

[Conventional technology]

Hot water purifiers are also used in some places for cleaning and wiping after defecation, urination, and during menstruation, but due to high equipment costs, they have not yet become widespread, and toilet paper is generally used. There is.

However, it is difficult to clean thoroughly using toilet paper, and if you have a disease in the anal area such as a lining that irritates the skin around the anus due to friction when using it, or hemorrhoids, the symptoms may worsen. In addition, frequent friction after urination and during menstruation irritates the skin around the urinary organs and vulva, which can lead to a number of problems such as itching, rashes, and sores on the skin. .

In order to solve this problem, it has been proposed to apply a cleaning agent to the toilet paper before using it. This is a cleaning agent for the anal area containing a specific oil component as a main ingredient (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-22511
No. 1), a cleaning agent containing water-soluble silicone and alcohol in water (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62242611), an aqueous aerosol type cleaning agent with a pH of 5 to 9 containing water-soluble silicone and a phosphoric acid-based pH buffering agent (Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 1997) -265019)
etc.

[Issues that Hathu tries to solve]

However, oil-based wipes cannot be said to have a sufficient wiping effect when cleaning diarrhea, menstrual blood, or urine.On the other hand, water-based wipes have the strength of toilet paper. Because the skin was not maintained and easily broke, its wiping effect was not sufficient, and its skin protection effect was also insufficient.

Therefore, it is desired to develop a skin cleansing and wiping agent composition that has excellent cleaning and wiping effects for cleaning diarrhea, etc., can maintain the strength of toilet paper, and has an excellent skin protection effect. Ta.

[Means to solve the problem]

As a result of intensive research to solve these problems, the present inventors found that metal ions selected from the group consisting of alkaline earth metals, manganese, zinc, cobalt, and nickel were used in water-soluble solvents and aqueous solutions. The present invention has been completed based on the discovery that a skin cleansing/wiping agent composition that maintains the strength of toilet paper and has a high skin cleansing and protective effect can be obtained by incorporating a compound that provides the following properties.

That is, the present invention provides the following components (A) and (B) (A) water-soluble solvent (B) in an aqueous solution, one or two selected from the group consisting of alkaline earth metals, manganese, zinc, cobalt, and nickel. The present invention provides a skin cleansing and wiping agent composition containing a compound that provides the above metal ions.

Examples of the water-soluble solvent of component (A) used in the present invention include monohydric lower alcohols such as ethanol, methanol, and propatool; ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, butylene glycol,
Dihydric lower alcohols such as hexylene glycol;
Polyhydric alcohols such as glycerin and sorbitol; or mono- or diethers of the above alcohols and monohydric lower alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propatool, butyl alcohol; or the above alcohols and acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, valeric acid, caprone. Examples include esters with lower fatty acids such as acids. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, polyhydric alcohols, ethers of polyhydric alcohols and lower alcohols, or esters of polyhydric alcohols and lower fatty acids are preferred. The water-soluble solvent is preferably blended in an amount of 10 to 40% by weight in the skin cleansing/wiping agent composition. 1
If it is less than 0% by weight, the strength of the toilet paper cannot be maintained sufficiently, and if it exceeds 40% by weight, the wiping power against water-soluble stains will be reduced.

Compounds that provide alkaline earth metal, manganese, zinc, cobalt or nickel metal ions as component (B) used in the present invention include hydroxides, chlorides, and hydroxides of these metals.
Examples include water-soluble metal salts such as sulfates, nitrates, carbonates, formates, and acetates.

Among these, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, zinc sulfate, etc. are preferred. These compounds are present in the composition of the invention at a concentration of 0.1
It is preferable that the content is between 5% by weight and 5% by weight.

If it is less than 0.1% by weight, the strength of the toilet paper cannot be maintained sufficiently, and if it exceeds 5% by weight, storage stability may deteriorate, which is not preferable.

In addition to the above-mentioned essential ingredients, the skin cleansing/wiping agent composition of the present invention may optionally contain water, animal and vegetable oils, silicone oil, surfactants, humectants, disinfectants, medicinal agents such as anti-inflammatory agents, fragrances, etc. You can do that. The amount of water blended here is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10 to 90% by weight.

The skin cleansing/wiping agent composition of the present invention is used by filling it into a suitable container, but it is particularly convenient to use it as an aerosol preparation filled in an aerosol container or as a spray from an accumulator pump bottle.
