Described herein, a transparent soap bar for cleaning the skin including a soap surfactant, a synthetic surfactant, a fragrance component, an amine component, an antioxidant salt, wherein the transparent soap bar has a percent transmittance (% T) value of greater than 40% as measured using the method of Measurement of % Transmittance.

The present invention relates to alpha-amylase variants. The present invention also relates to polynucleotides encoding the variants; nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides; and methods of using the variants.

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.
