Abstract: This invention relates to a soap bar composition which provides enhanced delivery of water soluble skin benefit agents such that the desired activity of the benefit agent is observed for a long time post the wash. This is achieved by absorbing/coating the benefit agent on to specific clays followed by further coating with a hydrophobic material selected from wax or petrolatum.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an extruded soap bar composition. It more particularly relates to a soap bar composition which delivers the enhanced antimicrobial benefit to skin while ensuring that the soap bar is easy to extrude. This is achieved by including free fatty acids in the soap bar composition while ensuring that part of the free fatty acid is hydroxy stearic acid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an extruded bar soap composition. It more particularly relates to a soap bar composition which exhibits better bloom (perfume impact) and better deposition of actives as compared to conventional soap bars. This is obtained by ensuring that the amount of oleate soap is kept low while incorporating some amount of ricinoleate soap.

Abstract: The invention relates to bar composition comprising minimum floor levels of C10 soap while minimizing ratio of unsaturated C18 soap to caprate. Such bars provide enhanced rapid, antibacterial activity. Disclosed is a soap bar composition comprising: a) 25 to 85%, preferably 35 to 75% by weight of C8 to C24 fatty acid soap comprising: (i) C10 soap at 8% or 15% or greater, more preferably 16 to 32% by weight of total bar composition; and, (ii) unsaturated C18 soap, wherein weight ratio of said unsaturated C18 soap to C10 (caprate) soap is 1.2 to 0.1. b) 1 to 45% organic and inorganic adjuvant materials by weight of the composition; and, c) 5 to 30%, preferably 13 to 28% water by weight of the composition, wherein excess of C10 soap to unsaturated C18 soap is at least 6%.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an extruded soap bar composition. It more particularly relates to a soap bar composition which comprises low amount of soap where high amount of water can be incorporated. This is achieved by including selective amount of zeolite therein. The soap bars of the invention are easy to extrude and stamp.
