The present invention relates to a soap bar comprising soap, at least one perfume oil, at least one polymer, optionally water, and optionally further known cosmetic ingredients other than the soap, the perfume oil, the polymer and the water, wherein the at least one polymer is a water-soluble polymer, wherein the polymer has a water solubility of at least 0.01 g of polymer in 100 g of water at 20 C. at one or more than one pH value in the range between (4) and (9), and wherein the at least one polymer is selected from the group consisting of a polymer in which more than 20 wt % of the repeating units of the polymer are repeating units derived from at least one ethylenically unsaturated, polymerizable monomer having at least one acid group, and a polymer comprising repeating units derived from N-vinylpyrrolidone, wherein the proportion of these repeating units in the polymer is at least 50 wt %.

A method of isolating an antibody is disclosed. The method comprises contacting a hydrophobic chelator, a non-ionic detergent and metal ions so as to generate an aggregate comprising the hydrophobic chelator, the detergent and the metal ions; and contacting the aggregate with a medium comprising the antibody under conditions that allow partitioning of the antibody into the aggregate. Kits for isolating the antibody are also disclosed.

Soap composition comprising (i) saponified fatty matter made from a fat blend comprising lauric fatty acid and saturated and unsaturated non-lauric fatty acids, the iodine value being from 44 to 58 g iodine per 100 g of said saponified fatty matter; and (ii) a hydrogel which is non-thermoreversible at 70 to 140 C. Disclosed is also a bar of soap comprising the soap composition and a process of preparing the soap composition.

An all-natural, moisturizing soap composition that allows for high vegetable butter fat content while also being capable of processing for high quality bar soap (moisturizing properties without sticky pellets, brittleness, cracking, and/or inhibition of lather formation) and a method for making the same and other soaps is provided. The soap composition may contain up to 50% vegetable butter fat(s). The semi-continuous process for saponification provides a fast and energy efficient alternative to prior art methods, while also allowing for high quality bar soap that contains a high content (up to 50%) of vegetable butter fat(s).

The aim of the invention is to improve the primary detergent power of detergents and cleaning products, in particular with respect to soiling containing oil and/or grease. For this purpose, polymers comprising N-vinyl imidazole-derived betaine units are incorporated into the products.

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.

The invention relates to bar composition comprising minimum floor levels of C.sub.10 soap while minimizing ratio of unsaturated C.sub.18 soap to caprate. Such bars provide enhanced rapid, antibacterial activity. Disclosed is a soap bar composition comprising: a) 25 to 85%, preferably 35 to 75% by weight of C.sub.8 to C.sub.24 fatty acid soap comprising: (i) C10 soap at 8% or 15% or greater, more preferably 16 to 32% by weight of total bar composition; and, (ii) unsaturated C.sub.18 soap, wherein weight ratio of said unsaturated C.sub.18 soap to C.sub.10 (caprate) soap is 1.2 to 0.1. b) 1 to 45% organic and inorganic adjuvant materials by weight of the composition; and, c) 5 to 30%, preferably 13 to 28% water by weight of the composition, wherein excess of C.sub.10 soap to unsaturated C.sub.18 soap is at least 6%.

A multi-part skin care bar and methods of using the same are disclosed. The multi-part skin care bar may be formed by selectively coupling a first portion from a plurality of first portions with a second portion from a plurality of second portions. For example, a first engagement portion of a respective first portion may be engaged with a second engagement portion of a respective second portion to couple the first portion to the second portion. In some examples, the first engagement portion may include a first projection and a first receiving hole, the second engagement portion may include a second projection and a second receiving hole, the first projection may be configured to be inserted into the second receiving hole, and the second projection may be configured to be inserted into the first receiving hole in order to couple a respective first portion to a respective second portion.
