This invention relates to a soap bar composition which provides enhanced delivery of water soluble skin benefit agents such that the desired activity of the benefit agent is observed for a long time post the wash. This is achieved by absorbing/coating the benefit agent on to specific clays followed by further coating with a hydrophobic material selected from wax or petrolatum.

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.

Solid rinsing, cleaning and/or sanitizing compositions for various applications are provided. In particular, solid compositions include a complex of urea and an acid having desirable storage stability previously unavailable in solid urea/acid compositions. Stable solid compositions are disclosed and methods of making the same to overcome conventional limitations associated with with forming kinetically and thermodynamically stable solids that utilize urea/acid compositions.
