Abstract
Soap compositions for topical delivery of Personal care agents are disclosed. The compositions include a soap formulation and a frangible, liquid-loaded, cellulosic powder which is blended with the soap to form the composition. The porous cellulosic powder provides a vehicle for increasing the liquid payload of a soap without diminishing its hardness or durability.
