Abstract: The object of the present invention is to improve the solidification point and the hardness of a soap of the fatty acid soap series wherein the percentage of potassium used as the counter ion is large. The solid soap of the present invention to achieve the above-described object is characterized by comprising 1 to 5 mass % of a betaine, and in that sodium and potassium are contained as the fatty acid counter ion, and potassium is 20 mole % or more of the counter ion.

Abstract: Washing with conventional filmy soaps cannot bring about clean detergent effect because of the remaining sliminess due to the ingredient essential for forming soap into films. Further, when moisture adheres to conventional filmy compositions, the water-soluble polymer or other ingredients contained in the compositions dissolve in the moisture to cause the blocking of filmy compositions, which makes it impossible to take out the filmy compositions one by one. Detergent effect without sliminess and the antiblocking of filmy compositions can be attained by incorporating a granular component into a filmy composition containing a water-soluble polymer. The filmy compositions of the invention are used as filmy facial masks, whitening masks, sheet soap, cleansing sheets, sheet shampoos, sheet rinses, sheet bath additives, and so on.
