BATHING AGENT

PURPOSE:To obtain a safe bathing agent, excellent in feeling of use and safe for the human body by using a natural ingredient of calcium carbonate as a principal ingredient as a new blending ingredient in a bathing agent. CONSTITUTION:This bathing agent comprises a sandy coral fossil or coral sand, produced from the nature and hitherto considered as a blending ingredient in a bathing agent. An organic acid or a concentrate of seawater such as crude salt may be blended therewith. This bathing agent is added to bath water, which is kept under weak alkaline conditions by mild reaction thereof with water to improve the feeling of use of the bath water. The coral fossil or coral sand has an ecological and chemical tissue as opposed to a mineral resource or an industrial product. Ingredients eluted therefrom do not damage the human body at all. Furthermore, since the coral fossil or coral sand has many pores, suspended fine particles or dissolved substances in the bath water are adsorbed thereon to keep the bath water clean.
