Abstract: Disclosed is an aqueous composition having viscosity from 1 to 100 cP at 20° C., said composition comprising: (i) an oligodynamic metal or ions thereof; (ii) a chelating agent; and, (iii) free alkali less than 1 wt %, wherein said composition comprises 0.01 wt % to 2 wt % of a salt of an organic acid; pH of the composition is from 9 to 12 and molar ratio of said oligodynamic metal to said chelating agent is 1:0.25 to 1:10. The composition provides a robust solution for technical problems of discoloration and instability.

Abstract: The present invention provides an antimicrobial cleansing bar composition comprising 10 to 30 wt % soap, 20 to 45 wt % water soluble organic solvent, 20 to 40 wt % water, 3 to 20 wt % electrolyte other than soap and an antimicrobial agent.

Abstract: In one aspect is disclosed a cleansing composition comprising: (i) a surfactant; (ii) an oligodynamic metal or ions thereof; (iii) a chelating agent; and, a polymer having a group comprising a site having one or more lone pair of electrons wherein, said surfactant is soap. The polymer having a group comprising a site having one or more lone pair of electrons enhances the antimicrobial efficacy of the oligodynamic metal.

Abstract: Disclosed is a cleansing composition having pH of at least 9, said composition comprising: (i) 20 to 85 wt % anionic surfactant; and, (ii) a silver(I) compound having silver ion solubility (in water at 25° C.) of at least 1×10?4 mol/L, at a level equivalent to silver content of 0.01 to 100 ppm, wherein the free alkali content of said composition is less than 0.01%. The composition is a robust and improved cleansing composition with a stable colour.

Abstract: It has been found that transparency and water-white appearance of soap bars is improved by adding a fluorescer at selective levels. Disclosed is a transparent soap bar comprising: (i) 20 to 78 wt % total fatty matter; and (ii) 0.003 to 0.5 wt % fluorescer, wherein (i) CIELAB b* value of said bar at 0° viewing and 75° illumination is less than 0; and (ii) color of said bar expressed as Y+5R on LOVIBOND® scale is 0 to 3 and wherein the soap bar includes 0.05 to 10 wt % C2 to C3 alcohol. Also disclosed is a process for making transparent soap bar comprising the steps of: (i) saponification of oils or fatty acids in presence of polyols to get a molten mass, where after complete neutralization, the free alkali content measured as sodium hydroxide is not greater than 0.1%; and (ii) molding said molten mass to get the bar, wherein 0.003 to 0.5 parts fluorescer and 0.05 to 10 parts C2 to C3 alcohol is mixed with said molten mass.
