Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to an extruded soap bar composition. It more particularly relates to a soap bar composition which delivers the enhanced antimicrobial benefit to skin while ensuring that the soap bar is easy to extrude. This is achieved by including free fatty acids in the soap bar composition while ensuring that part of the free fatty acid is hydroxy stearic acid.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A soap bar composition comprising: (i) 45 to 85% total amount of soap by weight of the composition; (ii) 2 to 15% of total free fatty acid by weight of the composition; (iii) 0.5 to 8% polyhydric alcohol; and (iv) 14 to 21% water by weight of the composition, wherein the free fatty acid includes 12-hydroxystearic acid, wherein the 12-hydroxystearic acid is present in an amount of 0.3 to 10% by weight of the composition. 2. A method of providing enhanced antimicrobial efficacy to skin comprising the steps of applying the composition as claimed in claim 1 on to the desired skin surface followed by rinsing the applied skin surface with water. 3. The composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polyhydric alcohol is glycerol. 4. The composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the composition provides an antimicrobial benefit. 5. The composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the soap bar composition is formed into a bar via extrusion.
