A solid soap containing, (A) 77 to 91 mass % of an alkali metal salt of a saturated fatty acid having an even number of carbon atoms from 12 to 18, (B) 0.005 to 1 mass % of an alkali metal salt of a saturated fatty acid having an odd number of carbon atoms from 13 to 17, (C) 0.5 to 5 mass % of glycerol, and (D) 5 to 18 mass % of water.

A cleaning implement for cleaning a target surface is provided that includes an erodible foam adapted to contact a surface to be cleaned and a rheological solid composition comprising a crystallizing agent and an aqueous phase.

The invention relates to a process to make high water bars with a high speed extrusion process by using specific types and amounts of electrolytes in combination. The bars are produced with no negatives generally associated with use of electrolytes. Disclosed is an extruded soap bar composition wherein the bar comprises: a) 20 to 40% of water; b) 20 to 75% by wt. anhydrous soap; wherein C.sub.16 to C.sub.24 saturated soap comprises 12% to 45% by wt. of total bar. c) structurants comprises at least from 0.05 to 35% by wt., wherein the specific level of structurants is defined by the level of C16 to C24 saturated soap of (b) such that the total level of said C.sub.16 to C.sub.24 saturated soap and structurants are greater than 25%, and wherein said structurants are selected from the group consisting of starch, carboxymethylcellulose, inorganic particulates, acrylate polymers and mixtures thereof; d) electrolyte which is a combination of alkali metal chloride; and a secondary electrolytes selected from the group consisting of alkali metal citrate and alkali metal sulfate; and wherein the concentration of alkali metal chloride ([alkali metal chloride]); and of alkali metal citrate ([alkali metal citrate]), alkali metal sulfate ([alkali metal sulfate]) defined by level of water we use as follows: i. [alkali metal chloride]%=0.075×[water]−0.626; and ii. [alkali metal citrate]%=−0.0023×[water].sup.2+0.312×[water]−4.34; iii. [alkali metal sulfate]%=−0.0023×[water].sup.2+0.312×[water]−4.34; or iv. [alkali metal citrate and alkali metal sulfate]=−0.0023×[water].sup.2+0.312×[water]−4.34, wherein the calculated amount of the concentration of the electrolyte is plus or minus 15%.

The present invention relates to an extruded soap bar composition. It more particularly relates to a soap bar composition which delivers the enhanced antimicrobial benefit to skin while ensuring that the soap bar is easy to extrude. This is achieved by including free fatty acids in the soap bar composition while ensuring that part of the free fatty acid is hydroxy stearic acid.

The present invention relates to an extruded bar soap composition. It more particularly relates to a soap bar composition which exhibits better bloom (perfume impact) and better deposition of actives as compared to conventional soap bars. This is obtained by ensuring that the amount of oleate soap is kept low while incorporating some amount of ricinoleate soap.
