  • Patent number: 11479743
    Abstract: Disclosed are a natural soap composition having elasticity, viscoelasticity and ductility without containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and borax, and a method of preparing the same. The soap composition does not contain a plastic material (PVA), borax, a fungicide, a plasticizer or the like, unlike conventional plastic clay toys, and is thus environmentally friendly and safe, and has a cleaning effect. In addition, the composition has the advantages of better elasticity, viscoelasticity and ductility than general soaps or other elastic soap compositions. In addition, even after the composition is molded into a particular shape, it can be transformed into a variety of shapes, can be used as a toy owing to the maximized tactile stimulation thereof, and provides effects such as psychological stability, stress relief and sensory development.
