ORGANIC SKIN CLEANSING SOAP AND DISPENSER

Abstract

A combination organic skin cleansing black soap formulation in a container with an internal twisting mechanism at the base is disclosed. This combination works together to help preserve and protect the soap by incrementally dispensing the soap for use and storage following use, respectively. The combination device can be used to remove makeup, reduce redness, tighten skin, reduce blemishes, soften the skin, exfoliate, and improve the overall health of the skin. The soap ingredients are processed and mixed. Thereafter, the soap mixture is placed into the container and left to set. After hardening, the twisting mechanism can thereafter selectively expose the soap for use or retract for safekeeping.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The present invention is directed to a combination organic skin cleansing soap and associated twist type incremental dispenser. The invention is made up of the following components: a formulated black soap bar contained within a container equipped with a twisting incremental advancing mechanism, cap, and cover.

[0017] In the preferred embodiment, the organic skin cleansing soap process begins by cutting up the desired amount of raw black soap into small pieces, preferably about 10 mm×10 mm×10 mm. These pieces are then placed into a large soap melter and set to a low temperature of about 180 F. Next, add the correct ratio, of about 0.5 oz.:8.0 oz (1 part to 16 parts) of coconut oil to the diced soap respectively. The black soap and coconut oil are gently mixed in the melter at a temperature preferably between about 80 and 180 F until it becomes creamy in appearance and texture using a mixer on a drill set at a mix speed of about 60-100 rpm.

[0018] The correct ratio of natural body butter and fractionated coconut oil, of about 0.5 oz:0.5 oz respectively, is melted slowly at an appropriate temperature of between 80 F and 100 F in a separate melting pot. While mixing the black soap and coconut oil in the primary melter, the melted body butter and coconut oil is poured, and thoroughly mixed, into the mixture of black soap and coconut oil at a temperature range of about 80 to 100 F. After this, the essential oils, for example, Tea Tree, Lavender, and/or Rosemary are added, completing the base formula for the organic skin cleansing soap. The amount of essential oil used is about 15 ml. in the above recited 8 oz. combination.

[0019] At this point, there may be a possible insertion of optional ingredients for added benefits and can include a variety of products. For example, enhancing the base formula with; Turmeric, Medicinal Honey, or Charcoal. Notably, the process of melting the natural butter and coconut oil is when the addition of any of the above ingredients in an amount of about 15 mil to 0.5 oz. would preferably occur. Therefore, dissolve the natural butter, and add the desired optional element(s). This combination is mixed separately, then added to the black soap and coconut oil mixture already blended in the melter, and gently mixed again.

[0020] This next step involves a piping machine placed atop of the melter. The machine fills the containers/dispensers 10 by pulling the soap, under either vacuum, or positive pressure, from the vessel and pumping it through a piping device. The dispenser 10 casings for 1 or 2.5 oz portions are then placed on a table upside down, i.e., receiving orientation, with the bottoms 26 removed. The piping machine fills the container 10 from the removable cap 12 to the base 14. The temperature remains constant with periodic mixing of the ingredients in between piping.

[0021] The soap combination is then left to harden in the dispensing container. After the soap has set, the bottom twisting end cap 26 of the casing is attached, enabling the internal twisting and lifting mechanism 28 to incrementally dispense the final product 30 from container 10. The finished product is now ready for use.

[0022] Notably, the heating and mixing of the ingredients at the correct temperature are necessary to the success of the formulation. The proper temperature allows the elements to bond and is workable for the piping/pumping process. The formulated black soap reduces the excessive dryness associated with conventional black soap.

[0023] A suitable melter used to melt the soap may be one originally for candle wax melting, and the piping device may originally be for baking applications, i.e., baking batter pumping, or even a turkey baster. For small experimental batches of soap, a typical kitchen sized double boiler pan system can be used, i.e., a soap melt/mix small pan contained within a larger pan, suspending the smaller pan in heated water. The melted mixture is then transferred to, for example, a piping bag, for depositing into the soap dispensers.

[0024] FIG. 1 illustrates an exploded view of the organic skin cleanser in its container 10 with all working parts. FIG. 2 is assembled dispenser showing internal structure thereof.

[0025] The top section highlights the covering mechanism for the container which includes the liner/seal/safety cap 22. The container has a screw-on cover 12 and a safety cap 22 for the soap. From the top, we have the screw-on cover followed by the safety cap. Secondly, the mid-section of the drawing shows the soap 30 within the container. The soap 30 is piped into the casing 10 from the bottom or base end 14, filling the dispenser progressively from the cap to the base. The base of the soap sits on top of the end cap/screwing mechanism 26/28. FIG. 1 shows the end cap/screwing mechanism 26/28 for the soap. The end cap 26 snaps into the casing internal grooves 27, enclosing the soap 30, and enabling the screwing device 26/28 to advance the soap 30 outside the container 10 for use.

[0026] The dispenser is preferably made of a suitable metal or plastic, or combination thereof, that can accommodate the heat of the liquid soap during the filling process and, thereafter, can be durable and resilient in use and carrying. The container maintains the shape of the soap for the duration of its useful life, and protects the soap from environmental contaminants, dust, excessive heat, moisture, etc.

[0027] For the associated method of cleansing skin: execution of the following core steps is followed: Remove screw top 12 and thin protective cover 22. Then, in a clockwise motion, twist the bottom 26 of the container 10 to expose the soap 30. Wet your face and hands, then lather your wet palms by rubbing the exposed soap onto the wet palms. Apply to face and rinse after the skin is thoroughly washed. Finally, twist the soap back into the container and screw-on cap 12. Ultimately, after these steps, you will achieve a deep cleanse, exfoliating the pores and removing impurities from your skin without that dry feeling associated with conventional raw black soap. Furthermore, a storage container 10 that allows full usage of the bar, adding aesthetics, ease of use, and portability. On average, a 2.5 oz soap bar in the dispenser disclosed herein lasts at least as long, if not longer, than a single unwrapped black soap bar.
