WATER ABSORBENT COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME, AS WELL AS STORAGE AND STOCKING METHOD FOR SAME

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide (i) a water absorbent agent composition which has an excellent additional function (a deodorizing function in particular), which stably carries out the additional function even after being stored for a long term, and which is less stressful to skin when used as an absorbent article, (ii) a method for producing the water absorbent agent composition, and (iii) an absorbent core and an absorbent article. The water absorbent agent composition contains: a polycarboxylic acid (salt)-based water absorbent resin as a main component; a natural ingredient; and a temporal deterioration preventing agent. Further, a water absorbent agent composition is produced by simultaneously or separately mixing a natural ingredient and a temporal deterioration preventing agent with a water absorbent resin which is a crosslinked polymer of unsaturated monomers having carboxylic acid and/or a salt thereof.
