Abstract
A solid soap composition includes soap in an amount of at least 70% by weight of the solid soap composition. The solid soap composition (i) has a pH of from 7 to 9.5, and (ii) contains water in an amount of from 0.01 to 15% by weight of the solid soap composition.
Claims20
A solid soap composition comprising soap in an amount of at least 70% by weight of the solid soap composition, wherein the solid soap composition:
- (i) has a pH of from 7 to 9.5,
- (ii) contains water in an amount of from 0.01% to 15% by weight of the solid soap composition.
A process for the production of a solid soap composition, the process comprising the steps of:
- (a) contacting a hydroxide solution and a triglyceride to form a saponification mixture;
- (b) agitating the saponification mixture at a temperature of from 50° C. to 70° C. until the mixture has a viscosity of from 300 cP to 500 cP:
- (c) curing the mixture of step (b) at a temperature of from 130° C. to 170° C. to form the solid soap composition.
A process for the production of a solid soap product for cleansing the human body, the process comprising the steps of
- (a) providing a solid soap base comprising soap and glycerol;
- (b) heating the solid soap base to provide the soap base in liquid form, and contacting the soap base with glycerol, to form a soap liquid mixture;
- (c) pouring the soap liquid mixture into a mould and allowing the soap liquid mixture to set to form the solid soap product,
- wherein the solid soap product contains glycerol in an amount of from 0.01% to 35% by weight of the solid soap product;
- and
- wherein no greater than 80% by weight of the glycerol present in the solid soap product is added to the soap base.
