  • Iridescent soap bars containing ethoxylated alcohols
    Patent number: 8563494
    Abstract: An iridescent continuous phase soap bar with an ordered layered microstructure containing soap, water and specific ethoxylated alcohols is described. The phenomena of continuous phase iridescence in a soap bar is characterized as blue hue which intensity depends on the viewing angle and on the background color used for its observation by the user. In a preferred embodiment, the iridescent soap bar is prepared with mixing equipment capable of creating intensive mass shearing conditions and which generate high compression and extensional forces on the processed soap mass.
