Solid rinse aid compositions and methods of making and using the same are disclosed. Solid rinse aid compositions include in a single concentrate composition a pyrithione preservative system to replace conventional preservatives in the isothiazolinone family, such as chloromethylisothiazolinone. Beneficially, the pyrithione preservative systems eliminate the need for any personal protective equipment to handle the solid rinse aid compositions. Methods of making and use using the rinse aids are also disclosed.

Electrical devices for converting soap parts into bar soap or liquid soap including hopper for receiving the soap parts; means for increasing surface area of the soap parts by producing soap chips, the means for increasing the surface area being in communication with the hopper; mixing vessel for receiving the soap chips and forming a liquid soap mixture, the mixing vessel comprising means of agitation; liquid reservoir in fluid communication with the mixing vessel; ingredients reservoir in fluid communication with the mixing vessel; control unit having one or more processors; and non-transitory memory operatively coupled to the one or more processors comprising a set of instructions executable by the processors to cause the one or more processors to control various functions of the electrical device. The disclosure also relates to methods and systems for making bar soap and/or liquid soap using the machines and solutions for doing the same.

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.

Provided herein are solid textile treating compositions; compositions containing colorants stabilized with one or more colorant stabilizers; compositions containing colorants that do not need to be stabilized by one or more colorant stabilizers; solid wash cycle conditioning agents; liquid textile treating compositions; cleaning agent compositions containing these; methods of making these; methods of treating textiles with these; textiles treated by these; containers containing the compositions; and methods of visually designating when a composition has reached or passed its pull date.

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.

The present invention relates to an extruded soap bar composition. It more particularly relates to a soap bar composition which comprises low amount of soap where high amount of water can be incorporated. This is achieved by including selective amount of zeolite therein. The soap bars of the invention are easy to extrude and stamp.

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 comprises low amount of soap where high amount of water can be incorporated. This is achieved by including selective amount of a mixture of sodium or calcium silicate and an acrylic/acrylate polymer, wherein the soap bar comprises 0.01 to 0.7 wt % of the polymer.
