Abstract (en)

Soap bars contain from 90-50% fatty acid soaps obtained from tallow (non-lauric fats) and 10-50% of fatty acid soaps obtained from coconut (lauric fats). Known solutions to the problem of harshness include reduction of the level of soap present and replacement of the balance of the composition by so-called co-actives. A recognised problem engendered by the presence of co-actives is a loss of product structure in the resulting soap bars. Soap bars which comprise co-actives must therefore be manufactured by a process which increase the cost of the eventual products. The invention provides soap bars which comprise: a) At least 25%wt on total actives of lauric acid soaps, b) As the balance of the soaps, non-lauric soaps having an iodine value of less than 45, and, c) At least 5%wt on total actives of one or more synergistic mildness active. These soap bars have acceptable mildness but can be manufactured with conventional processing equipment.
