Soap composition and process of producing such

In the process of producing solid, milled bar soap comprising:

• A. heating a mixture of soap making ingredients comprising soap producing fatty acids, fatty acid glycerides or mixtures thereof and a saponifying proportion of alkali to an elevated saponifying temperature sufficient to form a hot liquid mixture of soap and water;
• B. cooling said hot liquid mixture thereby solidfying such;
• C. drying said mixture;
• and then
• D. forming said dried solid mixture into solid bar soap by a process comprising milling, plodding and extruding;
• the improvement, whereby producing solid, milled bar soap containing about 5 to 100 weight percent, based upon the fatty acid content of said soap, of mineral oil, which comprises:
• adding to said hot liquid mixture of soap and water produced by step A a substantially water insoluble additive comprising mineral oil whereby forming a homogeneous, hot liquid mixture comprising said soap, water and about 5 to 100 weight precent, based upon the fatty acid content of said soap, of said mineral oil;
• and
• subjecting said homogeneous, hot liquid mixture to steps B, C and D as aforesaid.
