ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a bath jelly and a method of using the same, and more particularly, to a bath jelly which is prepared in a bathtub by a bather and which is dissolved in the bathtub after bathing by the addition of a dissolving agent.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Since the times of Roman baths, bathing has been a luxurious and relaxing experience. Taking a steaming bath has known physiological and psychological benefits such as lowering blood pressure, relaxing muscles, relieving aches and pains and calming the mind. Bathing also cleans the outer layer of the skin by removing surface dirt and oils.
Many bath products are currently available to enhance the bathing experience. For example, bathing salts may be added to a tub of bath water to add a pleasant aroma to the bath and/or to soften the bath water. Bubble bath may be added to a tub of water to create a foam on the water surface and to add a pleasant aroma to the bath water. There are also numerous scented oils and soaps available for use while bathing. In addition, loofas, sponges and pumice stones may also be used to help during bathing to clean the outer layer of the skin.
In contrast to these soothing bath products, to clean below the uppermost surface of the skin, harsh chemicals are generally used. For example, undiluted cold astringents are typically applied to the outer most facial skin layer with cotton swabs whereupon the skin is immediately rinsed in a bathroom skin. This technique may result in the deep cleansing of facial pores but is not a cost effective or a pleasant method for deep cleansing of the remainder of a person's body.
Accordingly, there is a need for a product which allows deep cleansing of skin pores but which does not utilize a cold astringent. Moreover, there is a need for a product which allows deep cleansing of skin pores over a person's entire body without requiring the person to endure the uncomfortable temperatures associated with standing by a bathroom sink while dabbing themselves with a cold astringent.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a bath jelly which promotes a luxurious and relaxing bathing experience.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a bath jelly which allows deep cleansing of skin pores over the entire body surface.
Still a further object of the present invention is to provide a bath jelly which allows deep cleansing of skin pores without the use of cold astringents.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a bath jelly which allows a bather to prepare the jelly in a bathtub and which allows the bather to dissolve the jelly in the bathtub by the addition of a dissolving agent.
The bath jelly of the present invention comprises two components. The first component comprises a powder which when added to hot water produces a gelatinous mixture. The first component typically is a mixture of sodium polyacrylate, ascorbic acid, black tea extract, L-menthol, coloring, and fragrance. The second component comprises a powder which when added to the gelatinous mixture dissolves the mixture and allows the contents of the tub to be easily drained. The second component typically comprises pure sodium chloride. Other components may be added to the first powder and other salts may be used as the second powder.
The subject matter of the present invention is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of this specification. However, both the organization and method of operation, together with further advantages and objects thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description taken in connection with accompanying drawings wherein like reference characters refer to like elements.
