FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of beauty products, in particular to a low total fatty matter (TFM), sensorially superior soap bar, and a process for preparation of the same. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Soap bars are the most commonly used products for cleansing the human body. While the primary function is always important, consumers are also concerned about the sensorial attributes and cost. Soap bars are graded according to the content of total fatty matter (TFM). Toilet grade formulations containing high TFM are known as Grade 1 and Grade 2 formulations. There has been considerable research undertaken to reduce the TFM in soap bars without majorly affecting their cleansing properties, by replacing a portion of soap noodles with cost effective materials such as fillers which include but are not limited to talc, starch, clay and the like. However, it is observed that the essential properties of the bar get affected due to the presence of fillers and other similar materials.
[0003] Thus, it is important to ensure that soaps are designed in such a way that they do not have problems as mentioned above. Moreover, it is desirable that soap bars do not suffer from defects related to bar plasticity, bar feel, foaming, and sensorial attributes, and also have a composition which contains relatively low levels of the significantly expensive components rendering the soap bar cost effective. [0004] Accordingly, it is the object of the present invention to provide a soap bar using low cost raw materials without affecting the desired properties of soap bar. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] In an aspect of present disclosure, there is provided a low total fatty matter (TFM) soap bar comprising: (a) at least one soap; (b) lauryl alcohol; (c) at least one polyethylene glycol; and (d) at least one emollient, wherein the at least one polyethylene glycol to lauryl alcohol weight ratio is in the range of 1:15 - 1:50. [0006] In an aspect of present disclosure, there is provided a process for preparation of low total fatty matter (TFM) soap bar comprising: (a) at least one soap; (b) lauryl

alcohol; (c) at least one polyethylene glycol; and (d) at least one emollient, wherein the at least one polyethylene glycol to lauryl alcohol weight ratio is in the range of 1:15 -1:50, the process comprising steps of: (a) obtaining at least one soap; (b) obtaining lauryl alcohol; (c) obtaining at least one polyethylene glycol; d) obtaining at least one emollient; and (e) contacting the at least one soap, lauryl alcohol, at least one polyethylene glycol, and at least one emollient to obtain the low TFM soap bar.

[0059] The disclosure will now be illustrated with working examples, which is intended to illustrate the working of disclosure and not intended to take restrictively to imply any limitations on the scope of the present disclosure. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood to one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. Although methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice of the disclosed methods and compositions, the exemplary methods, devices and materials are described herein. It is to be understood that this disclosure is not limited to particular methods, and experimental conditions described, as such methods and conditions may apply.
Example 1
[0060] Process for the preparation of soap bar: The soap bar was prepared by following process: Soap comprising 85% of C16 to CI8 fatty acids soap and 15% of C12 to C14 fatty acid soap was mixed with titanium dioxide, PEG-90M, glycerin, lauryl alcohol, mineral oil, silicone (cyclopentasiloxane, (and) dimethiconol), alpha olefin sulphonates, water, talc and fragrance at a temperature in the range of 20 °C to 48 °C, for a period of 15 minutes to obtain a first mixture. The first mixture was milled at a temperature in the range of 6 °C to 10 °C by passing through rollers having chilled water circulation system, to obtain a uniform homogeneous product, which was then extruded at a temperature in the range of 30 °C to 48 °C to obtain plodded slug. Subsequently, the plodded slug was cut into a pre-determined size and stamped to obtain low total fatty matter soap bar.

[0061] Different soap bars A, B, C, D, E, F, and G having compositions with varying concentrations of components, as shown in Table 1, were tested for their sensorial properties.
[0062] Laurie acid, a saturated fatty acid is added to the soap bar compositions, as it 5 is known to contribute cleansing property and fluffy lather to the soap bar compositions. But the objective of present disclosure was to reduce the amount of fatty acid content without affecting desired properties and improving sensorials. It can be therefore be inferred from the composition A, B, and C of Table 1 that right blend of soap noodle, lauryl alcohol, polyethylene glycol and emollient led to the formation of
10 low TFM soap bar with desired aesthetics without the separate addition of lauric acid to the composition.
[0063] A clear observation from Table 1 was that when the weight ratio of polyethylene glycol to lauryl alcohol was in the range of 1:15- 1:45, and in addition the weight of ratio of emollients (silicone and mineral oil) to lauryl alcohol in the
15 range of 1:4 -1:7, resulted in a low TFM soap bar with desired characteristics.
19


[0065] Further, in order to ascertain the sensorial characteristics of the various soap compositions A-G of the instant disclosure, a panel of 15 test users was instituted which rated each of the compositions A-G for (a) moisturization; (b) ease of foaming; 5 and (c) bar feel on skin. Rating was given on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being most favourable. The average results of the panel data are recorded in Table 2. [0066] The panelists were subjected to the application of the soap on their forearm (10 rotations) and wash with water. After 10 minutes of the application the panellists were asked to rate in 1 to 5 scale on the skin moisturization, ease of foaming and bar 10 feel on skin and the results are recorded in Table 2. In moisturization rating, compositions A-G got consistent ratings by the panellists, whereas in case of ease of foaming and the bar feel on skin compositions A, B, and C gave considerably more satisfactory results as compared to the other compositions.

* Sensorial score: l(low) to 5 (high) Example 3 Combing test 5 [0068] Combing test, which is a quantitative indicator of the percentage of skin dryness caused by the usage of soap bar was also carried out. At least 15 minutes prior to test, forearms (volar sides) were washed with a mild cleanser to cleanse off any leave on products. Further, a comb was run over to observe the white lines of dryness that appeared post scratching and then pre-combing scores were tabulated which were
10 termed as baseline average combing score, as tabulated in Table 3. Furthermore, the test sites were washed with water and then Sample 1 (Marketed grade 1 soap comprising TFM content =77%) and formulation A (comprising TFM content = 70 %) were applied 10 times in clockwise direction and 10 times in anti-clockwise direction, simultaneously on the respective test areas. The test areas were then rinsed with water,
15 were dab dried and were cleaned with a lint free tissue. Again a comb was run across

the test areas in the direction from elbow to wrist, applying the same amount of pressure throughout the act. Finally, the test sites were observed for the visibility of scratches on a scale of 1 to 5, wherein 1 denoted that scratches were not at all visible and score of 5 denoted the high visibility of scratches. 5 [0069] The percentage dryness of skin with the formulation A was 22.45% whereas the soap sample comprising of 77 % of the total fatty matter content led to 36 % of skin dryness (detailed data provided in Table 3). Therefore, based on the results of combing test it can be inferred that formulation A was mild to skin, in comparison of the Sample 1.

[0071] In view of the results obtained in Examples 2 and 3, it is evident that the low TFM soap bars (formulations A, B, and C) of the instant disclosure yielded very good results in terms of sensorial attributes. Additionally, use of low TFM content makes
15 the soap bar attractive from the cost-effectiveness perspective too.
[0072] Overall the disclosure provides for a low total fatty matter (TFM) soap bar which has a combination of a soap, emollients, polymer, and lauryl alcohol in a specific range of weight percentages and weight ratio, as a result of which a sensorially superior soap bar is achieved.
20 [0073] Although the subject matter has been described in considerable detail with reference to certain examples and implementations thereof, other implementations are possible.
