  • Monohydric alcohol-free process for making a transparent pour molded personal cleansing bar
    Patent number: 5786311
    Abstract: This invention relates to a monohydric alcohol free process for making transparent pour molded personal cleansing bars which exhibit good hardness characteristics. The process comprises: (I) making a molten mixture of from 18 parts to 35 parts soap, wherein said soap is at least 50% insoluble sodium soap; from 14 parts to 32 parts water; from 5 parts to 37 parts synthetic surfactant; and from 18 parts to 37 parts of a water soluble organic solvent, wherein the combined level of water and water soluble organic solvent within the molten mixture is at least 40 parts; and (II) transferring a unit amount of said molten mixture into a bar forming mold or tube and (III) allowing said molded unit to cool in acquiescent conditions into a mild, low smearing transparent personal cleansing bar.The preferred bars made by the process of the present invention are more weight stable than bars made with several parts of alcohol.
