Abstract: An antibacterial composition comprises water, alcohol, a thickening agent, and a moisturizing oil, wherein at least 50% of droplets of the moisturizing oil present in the antibacterial composition have a particle size of 5 micrometers to 10 millimeters. A method of making an antibacterial composition comprises dispersing a thickening agent in water to form a first phase; combining a moisturizing oil and a humectant to form a second phase; combining the first phase with an alcohol to form a third phase; adding the second phase to the third phase, forming a fourth phase; and adding a neutralizer to the fourth phase, thereby forming the antibacterial composition.

Abstract: A transparent antibacterial composition comprises water, alcohol, a humectant, and a sensory oil. A method of making a transparent antibacterial composition comprises combining a sensory oil and a humectant forming a first phase; combining water with an alcohol forming a second phase; combining the first phase and the second phase forming a third phase; and adding a neutralizer to the third phase, thereby forming the antibacterial composition.

Abstract: An antibacterial composition comprises water, alcohol, a moisturizing oil, wherein at least 50% of droplets of the moisturizing oil present in the antibacterial composition have a particle size of 5 to 25 micrometers, preferably 6 to 15 micrometers; and optionally a sensory oil. A method of making an antibacterial composition comprises dispersing a thickening agent in water forming a first phase; combining a moisturizing oil, a sensory oil, and a humectant forming a second phase; combining the first phase with an alcohol forming a third phase; adding the second phase to the third phase, forming a forth phase; and adding a neutralizer to the fourth phase, thereby forming the antibacterial composition.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of enhancing conversion of alkali metal salt, preferably aqueous salt, preferably aqueous sodium salt of N-methyl taurine to alkyl taurate amides. In one aspect, the starting salt is pre-concentrated (at least 75% up to 99% taurine salt in the aqueous solutions after water is removed from a starting aqueous solution of the salt) and, in another aspect, the starting salt is not pre-concentrated.

Abstract: The invention relates to method of enhancing yield of alkyl taurate amides using enhancing specifically phosphoric acid catalysts. It further relates to the use of phosphoric acid to enhance yield while avoiding and/or reducing undesirable browning.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel compositions and novel in-situ process for making small average particle size, narrow distribution FAI in oil. The process comprises preparing FAI; separately optionally heating oil; adding oil to FAI in a molten state; heating to defined temperature; and cooling the heated mixture at a defined, controlled rate which ensures proper size and distribution are met.

Abstract: A soap bar comprising: (a) 25 to 85% by weight, based on the total weight of the bar, of fatty acid soap; (b) 0.1 to 100 ppm by weight, based on the total weight of the bar, of at least one silver (I) compound having a selected silver ion solubility, wherein at 25° C., a 1 wt % solution of the bar in water has a pH of from 9 to 11.

Abstract: The invention provides liquid cleansing composition comprising having mild surfactant, specifically salts of N-acyl polycarboxylic acid where pH of composition is preferably 6.5 and below. By combining with particular defibrillated cell wall materials, the mild surfactants can be structured and also have surprisingly good foam stability.

Abstract: The invention relates to concentrated liquid cleansing compositions in lamellar phase which possess a lotion-like appearance conveying signals of enhanced moisturization. The use of a specific ratio of synthetic anionic surfactant(s) and co-surfactant(s) to fatty acid(s) in a structured liquid product was found to improve lather production by moderating or eliminating the increase in viscosity upon dilution. In a further embodiment, specific small hydrophobic molecules were found to improve freeze/thaw stability and thereby cause the inventive composition to maintain noticeable moisturization signals.
