Abstract
The present invention relates to a 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 a selective polymer therein. The soap bars of the invention are easy to extrude and stamp.
Claims12
A soap bar composition comprising
- (i) 20 to 75 wt % anhydrous soap;
- (ii) a polymer comprising
- (a) 39 to 59% by weight of the polymer, structural units of C1-4 alkyl acrylate;
- (b) 40 to 60% by weight of the polymer structural units of (meth)acrylic acid;
- (c) 1 to 10% by weight of the polymer structural units of a specialised associative monomer having formula 1
- Wherein R1 is a linear C10-28 alkyl group;
- Wherein each R2 is independently a hydrogen or a methyl group;
- and
- Wherein n has a value in the range of 20 to 28;
- (iii) 25 to 40 wt % water;
- and
- (iv) 0.1 to 8 wt % of an electrolyte;
- wherein the electrolyte is a combination of alkali metal chloride;
- and a secondary electrolyte selected from the group consisting of alkali metal citrate and alkali metal sulfate;
- and wherein the concentration of alkali metal chloride ([alkali metal chloride]);
- and of alkali metal citrate ([alkali metal citrate]), alkali metal sulfate ([alkali metal sulfate]) is defined by level of water we use, as follows:
- 1. [alkali metal chloride] %=0.075×[water]−0.626;
- and
- 2. [alkali metal citrate] %=−0.0023×[water]2+0.312×[water]−4.34;
- 3. [alkali metal sulfate] %=−0.0023×[water]2+0.312×[water]−4.34;
- or
- 4. [alkali metal citrate and alkali metal sulfate]=−0.0023×[water]2+0.312×[water]−4.34,
- wherein the calculated amount of the concentration of the electrolyte is plus or minus 15%.
