FIELD OF INVENTION
[001] The present disclosure broadly relates to the field of personal hygiene, and in particular discloses a ploddable soap composition providing low mush with desirable sensorial parameters.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
[002] In order to maintain a healthy skin, consumers make use of bathing soaps. Along with the health aspect, soaps also act as a tool for beautifying the skin as per the consumer’s desire. Therefore, a bathing soap must take care of the health aspect by providing adequate antimicrobial effect as well as cater to the consumer’s desire for beautifying the skin. Dryness is an important parameter which is expected to be taken care of by the soap which consumer is using. Generally, inclusion of high amounts of glycerine in the soap is seen as a solution to this problem, but this is a major problem that the soap industry has been grappling with for more than four decades.
[003] Use of high amount of glycerin in transparent soaps has been known and it is relatively easier to incorporate high amount of glycerin and similar solvents in cast soaps (For example; transparent soaps). However, the conventionally known plodding and stamping method which is used for manufacture of opaque soaps severely restricts the amount of solvents that can be incorporated in a typical plodded soap bar. Therefore, it is a challenge to have increased amount of solvents in a ploddable soap. Using other techniques not only increases the batch time but also increases the overall processing time on account of stickiness of the soap mass on account of higher amounts of solvent. Also, higher amounts of solvents and humectants in a soap composition is usually associated with a problem of increased mush and stickiness formation which is undesirable. Therefore, an intricate balance has to be made among the components to achieve a ploddable soap composition having desired qualities.

[004] US4405492A discloses a process for making glycerinated toilet bar compositions which are substantially free of hard specks, wherein the soap is worked (e.g., milled) prior to the addition of glycerin.
[005] US6297205B1 discloses a monohydric alcohol-free, transparent, moisturizing bar soap having a high humectant solvent content. The formulation includes: (i) from about 38% to about 96% of one or more humectant solvents and (ii) from about 3% to about 20% of insoluble and/or soluble fatty acid soaps, with at least about 3% insoluble fatty acid soap. The weight ratio of humectant solvent to insoluble fatty acid soap ranges from about 3:1 to about 23:1. The bar soap has a standardized wear rate of less than about 15% and a hardness of from about 30 to about 100 hardness units. The transparent solid bar soap may be manufactured by a “hot pour” process with conventional batch mixing equipment designed for relatively moderate temperatures; accordingly, the bar soap may be packaged for final consumer use in the mold in which it was formed.
[006] US4405492A discloses a composition which has moisture in a weight percentage of only 8-12% which is significantly lesser amounts to provide a desirable effect. US6297205B1 although discloses a composition with high weight percentage of humectants/solvents, but is manufactured using a hot pour process which is time consuming and often seen as an economic hurdle in the manufacturing plants.
[007] Therefore, it remains a challenge to arrive successfully at a composition for soaps, especially ploddable soap compositions combined with significantly higher moisture concentrations, and at the same time providing reduced mush forming effect.

[0060] The Example section highlights the criticality of certain components that forms a part of the ploddable soap composition as disclosed herein.

of sodium silicate (structurant) to metal oxide, along with TFM to humectant is critical.
Example 1
Process for preparing the ploddable soap composition of the present
disclosure
[0061] The process for preparing the ploddable soap composition as disclosed in
the present disclosure comprised the following steps: surfactant (in an amount
ranging from 2% to 5% with respect to the soap noodles), was added during
saponification of sodium salt of fatty acids ranging from C8-C22 fatty acids, and
combinations thereof, at a temperature ranging from 75℃ to 95℃ to obtain a soap
mass (viz, TFM); glycerin was added next in an amount ranging from 6% to 10%(
with respect to soap noodles) to obtain soap noodles with high glycerin content. In
the present disclosure, TFM is referred to the TFM content present in the soap
noodles which are used for preparing the composition of the present disclosure.
Surfactants were added during the stage of soap noodle preparation, and also at the
stage of preparing ploddable soap composition from the soap noodles. Appropriate
list of surfactants along with weight percentage ranges have been disclosed in the
present disclosure.
[0062] The process of preparation of the final ploddable soap composition is as
below:
(1) The soap noodles were added into a Sigma mixer and mixed till the noodles were crushed.
(2) The crushed soap noodles were contacted with distyryl biphenyl disulfonate (optical brightener) and at least one metal oxide (titanium dioxide and zinc oxide) mixed to form a first mixture.
(3) coloring agent (Blue Pigment 0.0005wt%) in 2.5 kg of water was mixed and then added into the mixer with the first mixture to form a second mixture.
(4) Next, glycerin (at least one humectant) was added in an amount ranging from 3% to 8% to the mixer with the second mixture and mixed to form a third mixture.

(5) A first dosage of silicate based structurant (ranging from 1% to 4%) was slowly
added to the third mixture for 1 min and mixed to form a fourth mixture.
(6) A second dosage of silicate based structurant (ranging from 1% to 3%) was slowly added for 1 min and mixed to form a fifth mixture.
(7) Sodium alpha olefin sulphonate (AOS) powder (at 90% w/v) was added in an amount ranging from 2% to 5% to the fifth mixture in the mixer and mixed. Optionally, a given amount of additives may be added to the Sigma mixer containing the fifth mixture.
(8) In a separate vessel, BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) an antioxidant was first completely dissolved in the fragrance followed by dissolving the conditioning agent (silicone quaternium-18 (and) trideceth-6 (and) deceth-7 (and) cocamidopropyl betaine (and) dipropylene glycol) in an amount ranging from 0.025 to 0.2% to the above fragrance mixture.
(9) The above fragrance mixture was optionally mixed with another round of
additives as required.
(10) After completion of the combination of steps in point (8), the fragrance
mixture was added into the mixer containing the fifth mixture to form the
ploddable soap composition.
[0063] The ploddable soap composition as obtained can be further processed for obtaining plodded soap having desirable qualities.
Example 2
Working and Non-Working Examples
[0064] The present Example section depict various working and non-working
ploddable soap composition. The compositions were evaluated based on the
sensorial appeal and the ability to process them through plodding. The mush value
for the Examples were calculated as per IS 13498:2017 protocol.
[0065] Table 1 depicts the Working and Non-Working Examples.
Table 1:

[0067] The weight ratio of structurant to metal oxide in case of WE-1 (6:1), WE-2 (3.75:1), and WE-3 (8.57:1) falls within the disclosed ranges. Also, the weight ratio of TFM to humectant in case of WE-1 (5.74:1), WE-2 (5.72:1), and WE-3 (4.65:1) falls within the disclosed range. Therefore, they can be regarded as working examples as they are ploddable and provide translucent soap compositions that reduces mush formation in spite of presence of high amount of glycerin and moisture.
[0068] In case of NW-1, it can be observed that no conditioning agent was added. Also, the weight ratio of structurant to metal oxide (20:1) is outside the working range. The amount of metal oxide in NW1 is outside the proposed range. Because of low metal oxides, the soap bar does not show improvement in process ability. Further, it also does not show reduction in mush formation. The absence of conditioning agent also affects the sensorial properties of the soap.
[0069] In case of NW-2, it can be observed that the weight ratio of structurant to metal oxide (90:1) is outside the working range (3:1 to 10:1). The glycerin content, and structurant were also found to be outside the disclosed range. Therefore, NW-2 was found to be unacceptable because of high mush formation which in turn result in higher rate of wear. Also, mush formation was found to be significantly high (10.5) which is not desirable.
[0070] In case of NW-3, it can be observed that the weight ratio of TFM to humectant (glycerin) is 2.65:1 which is outside the range of TFM to humectant (3:1 to 10:1). Also, the amount of glycerin is outside the working range. Therefore, NW-3 was found to be difficult to process, and also it was observed to be stripping moisture from the skin which is not desirable. Also, mush formation was found to be significantly high (18) which is not desirable.
[0071] In case of NW-4, it can be observed that the weight ratio of TFM to humectant (glycerin) is 70:1 which is outside the range of TFM to humectant (3:1 to 10:1). The weight percentage of TFM and sodium silicate was found to be outside the disclosed range. It was observed that NW-4 was found to be unacceptable because of high mush formation which in turn result in higher rate of wear.

[0072] In case of NW-5, it can be observed that the weight ratio of TFM to humectant is 25:1 which is outside the range of TFM to humectant (3:1 to 10:1). Also, the weight percentage ranges of glycerin, sodium silicate, and surfactant is outside the working range. It was observed that NW-5 was found to be unacceptable because of high mush formation which in turn result in higher rate of wear. Also, it was observed that NW-5 was difficult to process which is again not desirable.
[0073] Overall, it can be appreciated from the Working and Non-Working Examples, that to achieve a ploddable soap composition that shows reduced mush formation in spite of having high amount of glycerin, ideal weight ratio of TFM to humectant and that of sodium silicate to metal oxide needs to be maintained. A deviation from the disclosed ratio range for any of the above-mentioned parameter does not provide the desired result of reduced mush formation.
