DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] [0019]Figure 1 shows a bar soap (1) comprising at least one core element (not shown) with external faces that are surrounded by a layer of soap (3). In FIG. 2, the components of the bar soap are depicted separately. FIG. 2 shows a core element (2) made of a recyclable and/or biodegradable material, which functions to provide structure for the bar soap (1). A layer of soap (3) surrounds the external faces of the core element (2), forming the exterior of the bar soap (1).

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, a bar soap (4) has a solid core element (5), as seen in FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C. The solid core element (5) is found in the center of the bar soap (4), with external faces that are surrounded by a layer of soap (6).

[0021] In another embodiment of the present invention, a bar soap (7) has a hollow core element (8) in the center, the hollow core element (8) having external faces that are surrounded by a layer of soap (9) as seen in FIGS. 4A, 4B and 4C. The hollow core element (8) can be filled with products such as bath salts, body oils, body lotions, moisturizers, deodorants and colored bath foams.

[0022] The particular structure of the bar soap gives the bar soap high durability and strength. The shapes and arrangement of the core element and the layer of soap are not limited to the shapes and arrangements shown in the Figures. The core element and the layer of soap can be adapted to different types of bar soaps with various shapes, arrangements, colors, sizes and scents.

[0023] The bar soap can further include an elastic band or cord attached to at least one end of the core element, for the purpose of keeping the bar soap suspended from the users' hands or wrists, or for hanging the bar soap on a wall hook.

[0024] It should be noted that different types of accessories can be added to the bar soap to facilitate its use or storage when not in use.

[0025] Since the components of the bar soap with are fully integrated, the manufacturing process is fairly practical as nothing unfastens and breaks or tears, thus achieving a high level of performance and efficiency, combined with high durability and safety. Once the components are fully integrated, the components remain fitted together and cohesive so they do not come loose when in use

[0026] Considering the foregoing, the bar soap of the present disclosure is a personal care product that will be well received by users. The bar soap has several advantages, including: great safety, reliability and ease of application; great efficiency and performance in its application; high comfort, convenience and practicality to users; extremely high general resistance and durability, coupled with low or no wear of the set as a whole; completely affordable costs which provides excellent cost-benefit ratio; practical and safe use by any user; wide reach range; great adaptability to several types of personal care procedures for soaps; great overall mobility and flexibility of the set; high operational ergonomics; reduction of soap waste; and the certainty of having a bar soap that fully meets the laws and regulations in force and the basic conditions necessary for its application.

[0027] Due to its features, the bar soap is versatile, efficient, practical and safe to be applied in a variety of personal care procedures by the most diverse types of users and in the most diverse types of locations. The bar soap is also characterized by great ease of application and handling. However, the measures and quantities required for the bar soap may vary according to the general needs of each application.
