  • Patent number: 7351682
    Abstract: The invention discloses bar compositions which are milder than soap but have squeaky feel or rinse associated with soap. This is accomplished by ensuring at least a certain portion (at least 1%), or all, of the soluble surfactant system is ion-sensitive. Further, soluble soap comprises less than 1% by wt. of bar, which helps produce a less alkaline pH bar while allowing squeaky feel to be produced.

  • Patent number: 7247607
    Abstract: Disclosed is an active and water-soluble natural detergent composite using soybean fatty acid and lecithin, and a method of producing the same. The method comprises agitating a mixture consisting of a natural vegetable fatty acid, lecithin, alkanolamide, and an organic solvent such as higher alcohol or polyhydric alcohol, saponifying the mixture to form microscopic detergent particles moving according to Brownian movement, and controlling the resulting detergent in terms of moisture and pH to allow the resulting detergent to be in a neutral or alkaline state. The detergent composite comprises 14 to 22 parts by weight of soybean fatty acid, 2 to 4 parts by weight of lecithin, 6 to 14 parts by weight of alkanolamide, 15 parts by weight of isooctylphenoxy polyoxyethoxy ethanol, 42 parts by weight of distilled water, 10 parts by weight of p-tert-oxyphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol, and 3 parts by weight of ethylene diamine tetracetic acid.

  • Patent number: 6849585
    Abstract: The invention relates to soap/free fatty acid bars in which high amounts of free fatty acid (i.e., greater than 35%, preferably greater than 40% and ratio of FFA to soap greater than 1:1) and low levels of synthetic may be used. In the bar, the free fatty acid is believed to form a complex which is believed to act as a structurant, thereby allowing less use of synthetic surfactant. The bar should require less synthetic surfactant. Total amount of unsaturated material in soap and fatty acid should be no higher than 15% In a second embodiment of the invention, the bar may be made by a neutralization process whereby fatty acid is combined with caustic (e.g., lower than 50% caustic) to form soap and free fatty acid in defined amounts or proportions.

    Abstract: A composition and a method of preparing a solid, transparent/translucent moisturizing/cosmetic/personal cleansing bar having one or more visible soap inserts, wherein a transparent soap matrix surrounding the soap insert has an increased melting temperature of at least 55° C. to prevent melting the soap insert during manufacture, and to reduce deformation during storage and handling, increasing its hardness and durability, and substantially reducing the tendency of the bar to lose weight over time by evaporation of water by exposure to room temperature. The soap insert can have the same composition as the surrounding transparent matrix soap, having less water to provide at least a 3° C. higher melting point, and/or a small percentage of pigment or dye, for easy recycling of defective bars, without the need to separate the soap insert from the surrounding matrix soap.
