Cleansing Device and Method for Manufacturing Same

Abstract

A novel cleansing device and method for manufacturing same is disclosed that provides for the combination of various soaps and detergents affixed to a cleansing pad that will not separate from the soap base and provides for enhanced lathering capabilities.

1 . A cleansing device comprising:
 a solidified soap base, and;   an exfoliating pad comprising pad fibers fixedly secured to said soap base, wherein said pad fibers do not absorb water such that said exfoliating pad will not separate from said soap base following the introduction of water to the cleansing device.   
     
     
         2 . The cleansing device of  claim 1 , wherein said soap base is comprised of one selected from the group consisting of shower soap, shaving soap, facial soap, cellulite reduction, acne treatment, callus removal, caffeine for transdermal absorption, true soaps, glycerine soaps, melt and pour soaps, saponified soaps, detergent soaps, and surfactants that will produce lather. 
     
     
         3 . The cleansing device of  claim 1 , wherein said exfoliating pad is comprised of non-natural, synthetic material. 
     
     
         4 . The cleansing device of  claim 1 , wherein said exfoliating pad is comprised of natural materials. 
     
     
         5 . The cleansing device of  claim 1 , wherein said exfoliating pad is a one of the natural materials selected from the group consisting of coconut husk and bamboo fibers. 
     
     
         6 . The cleansing device of  claim 1 , wherein said exfoliating pad is comprised of a tied mesh bath puff. 
     
     
         7 . The cleansing device of  claim 1 , wherein said exfoliating pad is comprised of 100% recycled material. 
     
     
         8 . A method for producing a cleansing device comprising the steps of:
 providing a molding cavity, wherein said molding cavity comprises an internal mold volume,   providing a step in said molding case, said step defining an upwardly facing annular edge,   transferring a liquefied soap into said molding cavity such that the level of the liquefied soap is above said step; and   placing an exfoliating pad in said molding cavity such that said liquefied soap engages around and fixedly attaches to said exfoliating pad.   
     
     
         9 . A method for producing a cleansing device comprising the steps of:
 providing a molding cavity, wherein said molding cavity comprises an internal mold volume, wherein said molding cavity comprises inwardly tapered walls,   transferring a liquefied soap into said molding cavity such that the level of the liquefied soap is at a predetermined level, and;   placing an exfoliating pad in said molding cavity such that said liquefied soap engages around and fixedly attaches to said exfoliating pad.
