A bathing preparation comprising an alkyl phthalide and/or an alkoxy phthalide and/or an alkylidene phthalide optionally together with carbon dioxide gas or a material capable of generating carbon dioxide gas and an extract of a plant belonging to the family Umbelliferae is disclosed. This bathing preparation has excellent effects of warming, retaining the warmth and accelerating blood circulation.

Bathing preparation

A bathing preparation is disclosed, comprising bathing agent components packed in a bag which is made of; a nonwoven or woven fabric consisting of a water soluble polymer fiber or a laminate sheet comprising a nonwoven or woven fabric consisting of a water soluble polymer fiber on the outside and a water soluble film on the inside.

A patch is disclosed, which comprises a water-soluble adhesive sheet (a), and a patch is disclosed, which comprises a water-soluble adhesive sheet (a) and a water-soluble protective material (b) laminated thereon. This patch is convenient in handling and achieves high merit. Also, it can be applied to the skin so as to exhibit excellent warm-bathing effects on the application site.

Patch

The present invention provides a bubble bath composition containing (A) 10-30% by weight of a C.sub.8-18 alkylalkanolamide surfactant or a C.sub.8-18 alkyldimethylamino acetic acid betaine surfactant, (B) 5-20% by weight of an anionic surfactant, C.sub.8-18 alkyl (or polyether-type) sulfate, and (C) 20-80% by weight of a polyol, wherein the ratio by weight of component (A) to component (B) is greater than or equal to 1 and the composition has a viscosity of less than or equal to 1000 cp at 20.degree. C. This composition provides excellent foam producing ability and foam persistence, is readily dispersed in bath water, and imparts moistness to the skin after bathing. The composition of the invention is relaxation due to its rich foam and moisturizing sensation of the skin.

Bubble bath composition

The present invention provides a lipolysis acceleration method which comprises orally administering a thistle-series or pepper-family plant, or an extract thereof; or dermatologically applying it by local administration or as a bath medicine composition. According to the method of the present invention, marked lipolysis acceleration effects can be obtained. It exhibits excellent effects for the control, prevention and improvement of obesity.

Lipolysis acceleration method

The generation of body odor can be easily inhibited effectively without necessitating any troublesome operation such as coating and spraying by using a bath medicine composition containing at least one germicide (A) selected from the group consisting of phenolic germicides, cationic germicides and trichlorocarbanilide and a carbon dioxide generating component (B) in bathing.

Bath medicine composition and its use in inhibiting the generation of

A bath composition is disclosed, which comprises a xanthine derivative or a .beta.-adrenergic stimulants. The bath composition, as dissolved in bath water, gives a moist (fresh) feel to the skin and a warm feel to the body. A method for imparting a moist feel to the skin and improving a warm feel of the body is also disclosed.

Bath composition

A bath additive composition comprises an aluminum salt and a carbonate and makes the pH of bath water 8 or higher but less than 9 when the bath additive composition is dissolved in the bath water. The bath additive composition does not damage bathtubs, bath water heating devices, or the skin of users, provides a refreshing feel to the skin after bathing, and has an excellent ability of suppressing perspiration.

Bath additive composition comprising aluminum salt and carbonate or

Bathing preparations comprising a soluble aluminum carboxylate exhibit excellent dissolvability into bath water, and give a refreshing sensation to users during bathing and after bathing.

Soluble aluminum carboxylate bathing preparation

Surfactant-containing seamless capsules of the present invention have an inner layer and an outer layer having a film-forming material. The inner layer contains an oily component and a surfactant component. Such surfactant-containing seamless capsules are produced using in multiple nozzle of triple or more having a sequentially increasing diameter. Since the capsules are excellent in emulsive dispersibility of the content liquid and surfactant dispersibility and solubility in the oily component, they can be used in pharmaceuticals, foods, luxury foods, bath additives, detergents and other fields.

Surfactant-containing seamless capsules

Bath compositions comprising a complex powder comprising a water-soluble polymer and a water-soluble aluminum salt; and also a bath composition which comprises a complex powder containing a water-soluble polymer, a polyphosphoric acid or a salt thereof and a water-soluble aluminum salt. Such compositions provide a refreshing and comfortable sensation of dryness to the skin; do not form water-insoluble particles, agglomerates, or flocculants; and provide an agreeable appearance and a pleasant feeling to the bath water.

Bathing preparations comprising a soluble aluminum carboxylate exhibit excellent dissolvability into bath water.

Surface-treated sodium bicarbonate particles, the surfaces of which are coated with sodium carbonate or its double salt, are disclosed. Heat treatment or irradiation with micro waves o infrared light converts the surfaces of sodium bicarbonate particles into sodium carbonate. The surface-treated sodium bicarbonate particles exhibit an increased capacity to bind with other sodium bicarbonate particles as well as with other components when they are molded. They can be used as an excellent binder for molding various preparations. The products produced have a prolonged storage stability.

Surface-treated sodium bicarbonate particle and molded preparation

A bathing preparation comprising at least one organic acid and at least one carbonate is disclosed. This bathing preparation contains fumaric acid in an amount of 20% by weight or more of the total of the organic acid and at least one highly volatile perfume. The perfume is not vaporized into the atmosphere. Therefore, the bathing preparation sustains its aroma in bath water for a long time, thus giving improved relaxant and refreshing effects.

A bathing composition comprising (1) oily component, (2) nonionic surfactant, and (3) cationic polymer is disclosed. The bathing composition of the present invention makes it possible to render the skin moist after bathing, imparts a smooth feel to the skin during and after bathing, and provide a sustained moistening effect after bathing.
