Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A bar soap composition is made from ingredients comprising: at least one cleanser chosen from soap and a first surfactant; and at least one taurate surfactant chosen from a salt of a fatty acid amide of taurine, a salt of a fatty acid amide of N-methyl taurine, and combinations thereof. The taurate surfactant is different than the first surfactant. The composition is in a solid bar form. Other personal care and home care products that include the taurate surfactants are also disclosed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A bar soap composition made from ingredients comprising: at least one cleanser chosen from soap; and at least one taurate surfactant chosen from a salt of a fatty acid amide of taurine, a salt of a fatty acid amide of N-methyl taurine, and combinations thereof, wherein the composition is in a solid bar form, wherein the bar soap composition does not include any surfactant other than the taurate surfactant and the soap, and wherein the at least one taurate surfactant is a compound of general formula 1: wherein R 1 is a saturated or unsaturated, straight or branched alkyl or alkenyl group with 12 to 25 carbon atoms; R 2 is H or methyl and M is sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium or ammonium. 2. The bar soap composition of claim 1 , wherein the taurate surfactant is chosen from potassium cocoyl taurate, potassium methyl cocoyl taurate, sodium caproyl methyl taurate, sodium cocoyl taurate, sodium lauroyl taurate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, sodium methyl lauroyl taurate, sodium methyl myristoyl taurate, sodium methyl oleoyl taurate, sodium methyl palmitoyl taurate, sodium methyl stearoyl taurate, sodium n-isostearoyl methyltaurate, calcium lauroyl taurate, magnesium methyl cocoyl taurate, sodium methyltaurate isopalmitamide, sodium methyltaurine cocoyl methyltaurate, sodium taurine cocoyl methyltaurate and mixtures thereof. 3. The bar soap composition of claim 1 , wherein the taurate surfactant is sodium methyl oleyl taurate. 4. The bar soap composition of claim 1 , wherein the bar soap composition does not include a medically effective amount of salicylic acid. 5. The bar soap composition of claim 1 , wherein the taurate surfactant is present in an amount of 0.1% to 10% by weight of the composition. 6. The bar soap composition of claim 1 , wherein the soap is a salt a C 8 -C 22 carboxylic acid. 7. The bar soap composition of claim 1 , wherein the soap has a pH of about 8.5 to about 12 in a 1 weight % aqueous solution. 8. A method of reducing skin irritation and/or inflammation, or of improving cellular repair function of the skin, comprising applying an effective amount of the composition of claim 1 to the skin of a subject.
