FILED OF INVENTION
[001] The present disclosure generally relates to the field of soaps and in particular to a bathing soap. There is provided a soap bar which is mild to skin in addition to producing desired foam volume and cleansing properties. BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
[001] Soap bars are one of the most widely used products for fulfilling human cleanliness needs. Based on their appearance they can primarily be classified into three classes, viz, opaque soap, transparent soap and translucent soap. [002] Although providing required level of cleansing is the foremost expectation a soap bar is supposed to fulfill, aesthetics and sensorial benefits too matter when it comes to what class of soap a consumer finally chooses to buy. Apart from the appearance-wise classification mentioned above, soap bars are also classified according to what goes into making them. Some soap bars are made exclusively of soaps, i.e., salts of fatty acids. They are known to have high pH and are slightly harsh on skin. Another class of soap bars is the one containing synthetic surfactants like sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, and cocamidopropyl betaine. Soap bars made of a combination of both, i.e., soaps and synthetic surfactants are also available in the market. Soap bars containing synthetic surfactants do offer some advantages like mildness (lower pH), however it has also been observed that they suffer from problems like low lather volume and unsatisfactory rinsability. [003] It is often difficult to foresee what properties a soap bar will exhibit, based on its composition in terms of soap and synthetic surfactant content. The cosmetic industry has thus been grappling with the challenge of coming up with soap bars which provide excellent cleansing, are aesthetically superior, mild on skin, and at the same time perform as per expectations on parameters like lather volume and rinsability.

Preparation of a gel cream soap bar:
[0054] Process A: The cleansing composition was prepared as follows: lauric acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, with propylene glycol at a temperature in the range of 60-100 °C to obtain first mixture. To the first mixture aqueous alkali metal salt solution was added (temperature rose to 85-90 °C) to obtain second mixture of neutralized molten soap. Sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauryl ether sulphate, and at least one cosmetically acceptable excipient ethylenediamineacetic acid, butylated hydroxytoluene, titanium dioxide, sodium chloride, fragrance, and colour at a temperature in the range of 60-100 °C to obtain third mixture of homogeneous soap melt. Optionally, adding benefit agent poly(ethylene) oxide, PEG diacid (n=250-600), to the third mixture of homogeneous melt at the temperature in the range of 75-80 °C and pouring said melt into mould, drying, and stamping to obtain the soap bar of desired size and shape.
[0055] Process B: The cleansing composition was prepared as follows: lauric acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, with propylene glycol at a temperature in the range of 60-100 °C to obtain first mixture. To the first mixture aqueous alkali metal salt solution was added (temperature rose to 85-90 °C) to obtain second mixture of neutralized molten soap. Sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauryl ether sulphate, and at least one cosmetically acceptable excipient ethylenediamineacetic acid, butylated hydroxytoluene, titanium dioxide, sodium chloride, fragrance, and colour at a temperature in the range of 60-100 °C to obtain third mixture of homogeneous soap melt. Optionally, adding benefit agent poly(ethylene) oxide, PEG diacid (n=250-600), to the third mixture of homogeneous melt at the temperature in the range of 75-80 °C and casting the soap from said melt into long cylindrical bars, cutting, and stamping to required size and shape.

Example 2
Gel cream soap bar composition
[0056] The present disclosure is, focused on obtaining gel cream soap bar composition exhibiting improved mildness to skin simultaneously producing desirable amount of lather and cleansing properties.
[0057] Table 1 depicts the working example (A) of the present invention which had all the required characteristics like, better mildness, desired lather volume, cleansing properties and improved aesthetics.
[0058] Cleansing compositions provides mildness but lacks in lather volume and show poor cleansing and rinsability. Herein, with a series of experimentation it was concluded that the unique fatty acid combination along with the surfactants and solvents can bring about an excellent combination of desirable characteristics, as is depicted in Table 1. Table 1



[0059] As is clear from composition A that the salt of C12 fatty acid: salt of C16 fatty acid: salt of C18 fatty acid weight ratio in the range of 1:1:1- 1:1.2:1, and sodium cocoyl isethionate to the salt of fatty acid weight ratio in the range of 1:4-1:8, led to the formation of soap bar with desired characteristics. [0060] The combination of fatty acids, sodium cocoyl isethionate along with PEG-diacid, gave the composition a creamy nature, whereas the combination humectants in specific weight percentage (glycerin, sorbitol, and propylene glycol) gave the composition a gel based structure.
[0061] Lather Volume is measured as per Indian standard protocol using IS 13498:1997, and used to assess the foaming ability of the formulation. Typically about 5 gm of the sample was taken in a specified Kitchen Blender with lOOmL of water of specified hardness and agitated at standard condition for about a minute. The Lather Volume generated was measured using a measuring cylinder and the value is recorded.

[0062] A panel of test users was instituted which rated the composition for (a)
bar feel during use; and (b) skin smoothness. Rating was given on a scale of 1-5
with 5 being most favourable.
Example 3
Non-Working Formulation:
[0063] Table 2 depicts the non-working example (B - K) of the present invention.
Composition B, C, D, and E having fatty acid content beyond the working ranges
as described above, led to the formation of soap bar which did not have desired
characteristics.
[0064] Composition F, had weight percentage sodium cocoyl isethionate with
respect to the total composition beyond the working range, which led to the
formation of soap bar which had poor sensorials and an average cleansing.
Similarly, Composition G also had the weight percentage of sodium cocoyl
isethionate beyond the working range. As a result, there were processing issues
with this composition.
[0065] Composition H had surfactant SLES-1-EO outside the working range
leading to the formation of a very harsh soap with respect to the sensorials. Weight
percentage of the humectants in the composition was also important, so as to
achieve a gel based soap. Any alteration in the weight percentage of the humectants
outside the working range as provided in Table 1 affected the end product
substantially. Variations in the weight percentage of propylene glycol provided
with a composition which was very thin, and moreover was harsh to skin as well.
Change in the weight percentage of glycerin had processing issues as exemplified
by Composition J. Droplet/ beading issues along with change in color was observed
due to the high sorbitol content in the soap bar as shown in composition K.
[0066] Briefly, in compositions B to E, ratio of salt of fatty acids C12 to C16 to
C18 was not maintained in the range of 1:1:1 to 1:1.2:1 therefore not showing
desirable characteristics. Composition B and D provided hard bar and composition
C and E resulted in soft soap bar. Both undesirable hardness and softness lead to
processing issues. Hence given ratio of fatty acids C12 to C16 to C18 was found to
be critical for the composition of cleansing composition of present invention.

[0067] The present disclosure thus provides a cleansing composition with a gel cream property comprising a specific combination of soap, surfactant, benefit agents and humectants which provide improved lather and mildness.

[0068] Although the subject matter has been described in considerable detail with reference to certain examples and implementations thereof, other implementations are possible.
