Abstract
Aerated and/or freezer soap bar compositions which contain a substantial amount of sucrose have improved processability, improved physical and/or improved skin mildness characteristics.
Claims5
A process for making an aerated freezer soap bar comprising the steps of:
- I. Mixing a soap bar composition comprising:
- (A) from about 25 wt. % to about 70 wt. % of alkali metal fatty acid soap in which said fatty acids contain from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms;
- (B) from about 5 wt. % to about 35 wt. % of sucrose;
- (C) from about 3 wt. % to about 20 wt. % of a hydrophobic material selected from waxes, free fatty acids and fatty alcohols containing from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms and wherein said composition contains at least about 3 wt. % of said wax;
- and
- (D) from about 10 wt. % to about 30 wt. % water;
- wherein said composition does not contain an effective amount of water-soluble organic non-soap synthetic detergent;
- at a temperature of from about 82.degree. C. to about 100.degree. C. (from about 180.degree. F. to about 212.degree. F.);
- said mix being fluid, substantially homogeneous, and pumpable;
- II. Aerating said mix;
- III. Cooling said mix to a temperature of from about 49.degree. C. to about 66.degree. C. (from about 120.degree. F. to about 160.degree. F.);
- and
- IV. Forming aerated bars from said aerated and cooled mix,
- wherein said process does not include a moisture reduction drying step.

A process for making a non-aerated soap bar from the composition of comprising:
- (A) from about 25 wt. % to about 70 wt. % of alkali metal fatty acid soap in which said fatty acids contain from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms;
- (B) from about 5 wt. % to about 35 wt. % of a nonreducing sugar;
- (C) from about 3 wt. % to about 30 wt. % of hydrophobic material selected from the group consisting of waxes;
- free fatty acids containing from about 0 to about 10 carbon atoms;
- mono-, di-, and triglycerides;
- fatty alcohols containing from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms and wherein said composition contains at least about 3 wt. % of said wax;
- and mixtures thereof;
- and
- (D) from about 15 wt. % to about 25 wt. % water;
- wherein said composition does not contain an effective amount of water-soluble organic non-soap synthetic detergent;
- wherein said process comprises the steps of:
- 1. Mixing said (A), (B), (C), and (D) at a temperature of from about 82.degree. C. to about 102.degree. C. (180.degree. F. to about 215.degree. F.);
- 2. Cooling said mix of Step I. to a temperature of from about 49.degree. C. to about 60.degree. C. (120.degree. F. to about 160.degree. F.);
- and
- 3. Forming said non-aerated bars from said cooled mix, wherein said process does not include a moisture reduction drying step.
