Abstract
A soap composition containing in the range from 60 to 99% by weight of the composition of a mixture of (i) 20 to 80% by weight of alkali metal soap of straight chain C8-C24 fatty acids, and (ii) 20 to 80% by weight of alkali metal soap of branched C8-C24 fatty acids, both based on the total weight of alkali metal soaps in the composition. The soap composition exhibits colour and odour stability without the requirement to include any additional stabilizers, preservatives or chelating agents normally present in soap.
Claims18
A soap composition comprising in the range from 60 to 99% by weight of the composition of a mixture of (i) 20 to 80% by weight of alkali metal soap of straight chain C8-C24 fatty acids, and (ii) 20 to 80% by weight of alkali metal soap of branched CG-C24 fatty acids, both based on the total weight of alkali metal soaps in the composition.
A process of making a soap bar or tablet which comprises extruding a soap composition comprising in the range from 70 to 95% by weight of the composition of a mixture of (i) 20 to 80% by weight of alkali metal soap of straight chain C8-C24 fatty acids, and (ii) 20 to 80% by weight of alkali metal soap of branched C8-C24 fatty acids, both based on the total weight of alkali metal soaps in the composition.
A soap tablet or bar comprising in the range from (a) 70 to 95% by weight of a mixture of (i) 20 to 80% by weight of alkali metal soap of straight chain C8-C24 fatty acids, and (ii) 20 to 80% by weight of alkali metal soap of branched C8-C24 fatty acids, both based on the total weight of alkali metal soaps in the composition, (b) 0 to 5% by weight of free fatty acids, (c) 0.1 to 1% by weight of salt, and (d) 5 to 20% by weight of water, and (e) 0.1 to 2% by weight of polyol.
The use of alkali metal soap of branched C8-C24 fatty acids to improve the color stability and/or odor stability and/or lather volume of a soap composition.
The use of alkali metal soap of branched C8-C24 fatty acids to reduce the amount of stabilizer and/or preservative and/or chelating agent required in a soap composition.
