A cleansing composition includes 25% to 35% by weight of a surfactant, 1.5% to 5% by weight of a co-surfactant, 5% to 9% by weight of water; and 50% to 60% by weight of a fatty acid and soap mixture, wherein the fatty acid to soap ratio is 2.3:1 to 1.8:1. A method of making cleansing bars includes heating the cleansing composition to a temperature sufficient to provide a molten composition, cooling the molten composition to form flakes and/or chips, refining the flakes and/or chips to form billets, and stamping and/or cutting the billets to form the cleansing bars. Another method of making cleansing bars includes heating the cleansing composition to a temperature sufficient to provide a molten composition, pouring the molten composition into a mold, cooling the molten composition until the cleansing bars are formed, and removing the cleansing bars from the mold.

A method of producing a solid soap containing at least one image embedded within the solid soap includes printing an image on a dissolvable substrate to form an image layer, bringing the image layer into contact with molten soap and allowing the soap to harden so as to embed the image layer within the solid soap. The dissolvable substrate can be a printable icing or frosting sheet and the image can be a high-resolution image. The soap can include a background layer against which the image is visible.

Methods and systems for making artificial flowers are disclosed. The method can include wrapping a first flower wrapper having between 1 and 5 petals around a foam core to form a first flower construct, or bud. The method can include wrapping a second flower wrapper having between 1 and 5 petals around the first flower construct, or bud. The method can include wrapping a third flower wrapper having between 1 and 5 petals around the second flower construct. The method can include wrapping additional layers of flower wrappers around flower constructs, including, but not limited to, 3 more layers of flower wrappers. Wrapping a flower wrapper around a core or a flower construct may be done manually or in an automated fashion. Wrapping a flower wrapper around a core or a flower construct may be done petal by petal or all petals simultaneously.

A water soluble pellet for releasing one or more actives including a vegetable soap carrier in an amount of 10-95 wt %; a perfume oil in an amount of 2-12 wt %; and a dye in an amount of 0.001 to 0.5 wt %. The method for manufacturing the water soluble pellet includes the following steps: mixing the composition; extruding the composition; and cutting the extruded composition to form water soluble pellets.
