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: A closure (10) of the flip-top type, and a closure combined with a bottle or other container The closure comprises a cap base (12) which can be releasably fastened to a package (74), the cap base including an opening. A closing flap (16) is movably attached to the cap base and is suitable, when it is in a closed position, for preventing egress of a liquid from the package through the pot cap base opening. The closing flap has a locking flap extending therefrom, and movably attached to the closing flap. A locking flap fastener (70) is provided for releasably securing the locking flap to the cap base or to the package to prevent inadvertent opening of the closure during transport and use by the consumer. The locking flap (38) may be tucked within the closing flap during normal use and used to lock the closing flap during transport. The locking flap may be disposed in a recess (20) in the cap base.

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 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.
Abstract: A closure (10), especially useful for e-commerce. The closure comprises a lid (16) and a cap base (12) which can be releasably fastened to a container, the cap base including an opening (24). The lid has a depending plug (26) extending therefrom which is received within the opening in the cap base when the lid is in the closed position. The opening is formed within a cylindrical opening wall (88). When the lid is in its open position, extending outwardly from the depending plug at its end distal from the lid are one or more barb flaps (82). As the lid is moved to its closed position with the depending plug within the cylindrical opening wall, the barbs are pushed up against the walls of the plug and are received within a recess in the cylindric opening wall. Within the recess, the bar flaps abut an upper wall of the recess (40) such that extra force is required to open the lid, e.g., during shipping.
