Definitions
- This invention relates to neutralized carboxylic acid shaped solid compositions, particularly cleansing bars, cakes, soap bars, synbars and the like.
- Products made in the form of shaped solids, cakes and bars are numerous. Cleansing bars are well known in the art.
- Bar smear also referred to as bar sloth
- bar sloth is the soft solid or mush that forms at the surface of a bar when submerged in water and is regarded by consumers as messy, unattractive, and uneconomical.
- Products made in the form of shaped solids, cakes and bars are numerous.
- E.g., certain high moisture and low smear personal cleansing bars are disclosed in US-A-4,606,839 Harding, issued Aug. 19, 1986. Harding uses coconut and/or palm kernel oil soap.
- JP-A-7030-798 discloses transparent solid framed or molded soap bar in which fatty acids constituting the soap component are myristic, palmitic, and stearic acids.
- a transparent soap is described in which at least 90 wt.% of the fatty acids which constitute the soap component are myristic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid.
- the product is reported as a transparent, solid soap having good frothing and solidifying properties, good storage stability, and a low irritant effect on human skin.
- the process and transparent bar soap composition exemplified in JP-A-7030-798 do not appear to contain synthetic surfactant.
- the invention provides a cleansing bar comprising a shaped, solid three-dimensional skeleton structure comprising: a relatively rigid, interlocking mesh of neutralized crystalline carboxylic acid, wherein the rigid, interlocking mesh of neutralized carboxylic acid, preferably comprises sodium soap fibers.
- Some cleansing bars which comprise surprisingly large amounts of water and other liquids while maintaining their rigidity and excellent smear properties; even when allowed to soak overnight in water.
- Figures 1-8 show magnified views of bar samples of the present invention.
- Figures 9 and 10 show magnified views of two different conventional soap bars.
- the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) sample preparation involves fracturing a shaped solid with simple pressure to obtain a fresh surface for examination.
- the fractured sample is reduced in size (razor blade) to approximately a 10 mm x 15 mm rectangle with a thickness of about 5 mm.
- the sample is mounted on an aluminum SEM stub using silver paint adhesive.
- the mounted sample is coated with approximately 300 angstroms of gold/palladium in a Pelco sputter coater. Prior to coating, the sample is subjected to vacuum for a period of time which is sufficient to allow sufficient loss of bar moisture assuring acceptable coating quality. After coating, the sample is transferred to the SEM chamber and examined under standard SEM operating conditions with an Hitachi Model S570 Scanning Electron Microscope in order to see the skeletal (core) frame.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 are copies of photographs of a highly enlarged skeleton core structure comprising a rigid, interlocking mesh of elongated neutralized carboxylic acid crystalline fibers. More specifically FIGS. 1 and 2 are elongated C12 sodium soap fibers, enlarged respectively at 5000X and 2500X magnifications. The structure of FIGS. 1 and 2 are made with 5% soap; 94% water; and 1% sodium chloride. See Example 10 in Table 7 herein. Note that larger fibers in the interlocking mesh can be composed of smaller fibers. Also, note the "void" spaces. See FIG. 2.
- FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 are copies of photographs of a skeleton structure made with 25% sodium C12 soap; 74% water; and 1% sodium chloride.

- FIG. 9 shows a sample of a market IVORY (RTM) freezer bar made with sodium/potassium coconut/tallow soap at 1000X on the scale.
- the air in the IVORY (RTM) bar soap makes it float.
- FIG. 10 shows a sample of a market NEUTROGENA (RTM) transparent bar at 1500X.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 the samples are first melted on a hot plate and recooled on a glass slide.
- the other samples, FIGS. 3-10, are samples of original shaped solid structures or the conventional bar prepared as set out herein.
- the invention provides a cleansing bar comprising a shaped solid comprising two or more phases.
- One phase is a crystalline skeleton structure comprising a rigid interlocking, open, three-dimensional mesh of neutralized carboxylic acid elongated crystals.
- the other essential phase is an aqueous phase which is soft or flowable at 25°C.
- the skeleton structure is a relatively rigid, interlocking, open, three-dimensional mesh of neutralized mono- and/or di-carboxylic acid elongated crystals.
- skeleton structure skeletal structure, core, and skeleton frame are often used interchangeably herein.
- shaped solids as used herein includes forms such as bars, cakes and the like.
- bar as used herein includes the same unless otherwise specified.
- mesh as used herein means an interlocking crystalline skeleton network with voids or openings when viewed under magnification by scanning electron microscopy.
- the present invention provides an improved cleansing bar which is comprised of said skeleton structure.
- Some shaped solids are in the form of cleansing bars which contain surprisingly high levels of said aqueous phase comprising water, other liquids and soft materials. Notwithstanding the presence of relatively large levels of an aqueous phase, the preferred bars of the present invention maintain their rigidity and excellent smear properties, even when allowed to soak overnight in water. While not being bound to any theory, the shaped solid comprising these phases is similar to a relatively rigid wet sponge.
- the crystalline phase comprises crystals in the form of either interlocking platelets and/or fibers, preferably fibers.
- said fibers are composed of sodium soap.
- the interlocking mesh of said fibers and/or platelets imparts strength to the three-dimensional structure, even in the presence of relatively high levels of water or other soft materials; even when allowed to soak overnight in water.
- the strength of the skeleton structure can be measured indirectly by the hardness of the shaped solid, as determined by the resistance to penetration of the solid using a Standard Weighted Penetrometer Probe. See Bar Hardness Test below for more details.
- the skeleton structure is of sufficient rigidity that a 25 mm thick or greater cleansing bar sample has a penetration of from zero mm to 12 mm, preferably from 1 mm to 10 mm, more preferably from 3 mm to 8 mm.
- the present bars are distinguished from conventional transparent bars based on crystal size, as well as other characteristics.
- the crystals or crystal bundles that make-up the interlocking mesh structure of the present invention are of a size that diffracts light and consequently are greater than 400 nm in either diameter or length.
- conventional transparent bars gain their transparency by having crystal diameters or length less than the wavelength of white light, which is greater than about 400 nm and consequently do not diffract light.
- a bar (shaped solid) comprising the rigid skeletal structure of the present invention loses its rigidity when subjected to fracturing mechanical forces, e.g., those used in a conventional plodded bar making process as disclosed in US-A-4,812,253, Small et al., or US-A-4,820,447, Medcalf et al. This is because the fracturing mechanical forces, shear and break up the rigid, skeletal structure into smaller pieces. Thus, when a bar of the present invention is sheared in a plodder, a much softer bar results.
- fracturing mechanical forces e.g., those used in a conventional plodded bar making process as disclosed in US-A-4,812,253, Small et al., or US-A-4,820,447, Medcalf et al.
- the skeletal structure contains substantial "void" areas which are filled by soft and/or liquid aqueous phases. It is a surprising aspect of this invention that the physical properties of the bar, such as bar hardness and little smear, are mostly dependent on the crystalline interlocking mesh structure, even when the other phases make up a majority of the materials present. In conventional bars, many components can impact the overall bar physical properties because the components either modify the phase and structure of the soap or synthetic surfactant components that primarily determine the bar's physical properties. The combination of two or more phases (e.g., soap and aqueous solution) drastically changes the colloidal structure, and consequently, the physical properties of a conventional bar.
- two or more phases e.g., soap and aqueous solution
- phase materials that can be incorporated into the bar than the present invention.
- Such phases include most materials that are either flowable liquids or materials that are softer than the minimum hardness of an acceptable bar.
- These phases include aqueous solutions, liquid crystalline phases composed of water and surfactant, polymers; particularly surfactant-containing crystalline phases, and especially hygroscopic surfactants, which tend to become soft and sticky when mixed with water or other liquid phases including water-soluble organics (e.g., propylene glycol and glycerine), hydrophobic materials (e.g., mineral oil, liquid triglycerides), or soft hydrophobic materials, e.g., petrolatum, low melting paraffin, and low melting triglycerides.
- water-soluble organics e.g., propylene glycol and glycerine
- hydrophobic materials e.g., mineral oil, liquid triglycerides
- soft hydrophobic materials e.g., petrolatum, low melting paraffin, and
- phase can be characterized as being flowable liquids or so soft that a Standard Weighted Penetrometer Probe, as defined herein, will penetrate all the way through a 12 mm thick sample.
- phase can be selectively included in the structure of the present invention without loss of the interlocking mesh structure and certain desirable physical properties.
- the invention is a non-transparent cleansing bar comprising at least two phases: (1) an aqueous phase having a penetration value of 12 mm for a 12 mm deep sample; said aqueous phase being soft or flowable at 25°C; (2) a rigid crystalline phase comprising a rigid crystalline phase skeleton structure comprising an interlocking, open three-dimensional mesh of neutralized mono- and/or di-carboxylic acid elongated crystals light diffracting having a diameter or length greater than 400 nm; wherein said cleansing bar comprising said rigid crystalline phase skeleton structure and said aqueous phase has a penetration value of of from zero to 12 mm for a 25 mm deep sample; and wherein said penetration values are measured as 25°C using a 247 gram Standard Weighted Penetrometer Probe having a conical needle attach to a 9 inch (22.9 cm) shaft weighing 47 grams, with 200 grams on top of said shaft for a total of said 247 grams, said conical needle having a 19/32 inch (1.51

- aliphatic sulfuric acid esters which can be suitably employed include the water-soluble salts of sulfuric acid esters of polyhydric alcohols incompletely esterified with high molecular weight soap-forming carboxylic acids.
- Such synthetic detergents include the water-soluble alkali metal salts of sulfuric acid esters of higher molecular weight fatty acid monoglycerides such as the sodium and potassium salts of the coconut oil fatty acid monoester of 1,2-hydroxypropane-3-sulfuric acid ester, sodium and potassium monomyristoyl ethylene glycol sulfate, and sodium and potassium monolauroyl diglycerol sulfate.
- the synthetic surfactants and other optional materials useful in conventional cleaning products are also useful in the present invention.
- some ingredients such as certain hygroscopic synthetic surfactants which are normally used in liquids and which are very difficult to incorporate into normal cleansing bars are very compatible in the bars of the present invention.
- synthetic surfactants which are useful in cleansing products are useful in the compositions of the present invention.

- Preferred synthetic surfactant systems are selectively designed for bar appearance stability, lather, cleansing and mildness.
- surfactant mildness can be measured by a skin barrier destruction test which is used to assess the irritancy potential of surfactants. In this, test the milder the surfactant, the lesser the skin barrier is destroyed. Skin barrier destruction is measured by the relative amount of radio-labeled water (3H-H2O) which passes from the test solution through the skin epidermis into the physiological buffer contained in the diffusate chamber. This test is described by T.J. Franz in the J. Invest. Dermatol. , 1975, 64, pp.
- Some examples of good lather enhancing detergent surfactants mild ones, are e.g., sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonate, sulfonated fatty esters, paraffin sulfonates, and sulfonated fatty acids.
- surfactants include other alkyl sulfates, anionic acyl sarcosinates, methyl acyl taurates, N-acyl glutamates, acyl isethionates, alkyl sulfosuccinates, alkyl phosphate esters, ethoxylated alkyl phosphate esters, trideceth sulfates, protein condensates, mixtures of ethoxylated alkyl sulfates and alkyl amine oxides, betaines, sultaines, and mixtures thereof. Included in the surfactants are the alkyl ether sulfates with 1 to 12 ethoxy groups, especially ammonium and sodium lauryl ether sulfates.
- Alkyl chains for these other surfactants are C8-C22, preferably C10-C18.
- Alkyl glycosides and methyl glucose esters are preferred mild nonionics which may be mixed with other mild anionic or amphoteric surfactants in the compositions of this invention.
- Alkyl polyglycoside detergents are useful lather enhancers.

- This process provides a personal cleansing freezer bar comprising a skeleton structure having a relatively rigid, interlocking, semi-continuous, open, three-dimensional, crystalline mesh of neutralized carboxylic acid soap made by the following steps:
- the soap specified in the formulation is made in situ by mixing the desired fatty acids, consisting essentially of C12-C24 chain lengths, with the appropriate base or mixture of bases, consisting essentially of sodium, lithium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium hydroxide and triethanolamine.
- the fatty acid, base, and water are mixed at from about 170°F to about 200°F (76°-93°C) to form the soap.
- 180°F is used.
- Sufficient water is used such that the mixture is stirrable.
- the other ingredients are added, maintaining the temperature of from about 180°F to about 200°F (82°-93°C).
- Example 28 - 180°F The optimal mixing temperatures can vary depending on the particular formulation.
- Example 28 is not aerated or dried.
- the mixture of Step (1) is optionally dried to reduce the amount of said water to the desired level, preferably 20-40% by weight water.
- the flash drying temperature is from about 225°F to about 315°F (135°-157°C) at pressure of from about 30 to abut 100 psi (115-517 mm Hg).
- This final temperature also referred to herein as the Freezer Outlet Temperature (FOT) is typically the maximum temperature that will form a smooth plug that holds its shape once extruded onto a moving belt (Step 4).
- the FOT for Example 28 is 175°F.
- the cooled mix of Step 3 is extruded out onto a moving belt as a soft plug which is then cooled and fully crystallized and then stamped and packaged.
- the plugs are preferably formed via an extrusion operation, as shown in US-A-3,835,059, supra.
- Some of the composition crystallizes in the freezer (Step 3) in order to provide a semi-solid having a sufficient viscosity to stand up on the belt, while further crystallization occurs after extrusion, resulting in hardening of the bar.
- the final crystallization of the sodium soap forms the interlocking, semi-continuous, open mesh structure in the freezer bar of the present invention.
- the Plodding Stamped Bar Hardness Test can be used to differentiate the bars of this invention from other bars.
- Four trade bars are selected that represent various soap processes: SAFEGUARD (RTM), a soap milled bar; ZEST (RTM), a soap synthetic milled bar; IVORY (RTM), a freezer bar; and LAVA (RTM), a framed bar. Samples of these market bars and formed bars of Example 28 and Example II are plodded using the procedure set out below.
- plodded bars with Delta's of 4 or greater is a strong indication that there is a skeletal structure in the original which is fractured or destroyed when plodded.
- the hard bars of the present invention will form soft, messy bars when plodded in a conventional bar process.
- Example 28 bars are first formed using the above freezer process.
- the bars of Example II are first formed using the above-described frame bar process.
- the market bars are made of tallow and coconut natural soaps.
- the hardness of plodded SAFEGUARD (RTM) and ZEST (RTM) bars are about the same as the original bars.
- the IVORY (RTM) and LAVA (RTM) plodded bars (2) are slightly softer than the original bars.
- the plodded Bar 2 of Example 28 is much softer than the original Bar 1 of Example 28. More dramatically, the plodded Bar 2 of Example II falls apart upon plodding and is too soft to stamp. Its hardness after plodding is that of a soft aqueous phase, indicating that the rigidity of the skeletal structure is essentially destroyed.

Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to neutralized carboxylic acid shaped solid compositions, particularly cleansing bars, cakes, soap bars, synbars and the like.
- Products made in the form of shaped solids, cakes and bars are numerous. Cleansing bars are well known in the art.
- Cleansing bars with reduced bar smear are reported in the art. E.g., US-A-2,988,511, Mills, issued June 13, 1961, discloses a low smearing bar.
- Bar smear, also referred to as bar sloth, is the soft solid or mush that forms at the surface of a bar when submerged in water and is regarded by consumers as messy, unattractive, and uneconomical.
- Products made in the form of shaped solids, cakes and bars are numerous. E.g., certain high moisture and low smear personal cleansing bars are disclosed in US-A-4,606,839 Harding, issued Aug. 19, 1986. Harding uses coconut and/or palm kernel oil soap.
- One only has to examine a used personal cleansing bars in their bathroom to see that there is still a need for improved cleansing bars with little or no smear.
- The formation of rigid, soap curd fibers of sodium laurate is reported by L. Marton et al. in a 1940 Journal of American Chemical Society (Vol. 63, pp. 1990-1993). The report does not teach a utility for the soap curd. Shaped solids, as defined herein, are not disclosed by Marton et al.
- JP-A-7030-798, July 30, 1980, discloses transparent solid framed or molded soap bar in which fatty acids constituting the soap component are myristic, palmitic, and stearic acids. A transparent soap is described in which at least 90 wt.% of the fatty acids which constitute the soap component are myristic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid. The product is reported as a transparent, solid soap having good frothing and solidifying properties, good storage stability, and a low irritant effect on human skin. The process and transparent bar soap composition exemplified in JP-A-7030-798 do not appear to contain synthetic surfactant.
- It is also difficult to produce firm, non-sticky bars that contain relatively high levels (15-40%) of moisture (especially in the presence of most synthetic surfactants), hygroscopic surfactants and/or higher levels of non-solids and soft solids, such as water-soluble polyols and hydrocarbon greases.
- The invention provides a cleansing bar comprising a shaped, solid three-dimensional skeleton structure comprising: a relatively rigid, interlocking mesh of neutralized crystalline carboxylic acid, wherein the rigid, interlocking mesh of neutralized carboxylic acid, preferably comprises sodium soap fibers. Some cleansing bars which comprise surprisingly large amounts of water and other liquids while maintaining their rigidity and excellent smear properties; even when allowed to soak overnight in water.
- Figures 1-8 show magnified views of bar samples of the present invention. Figures 9 and 10 show magnified views of two different conventional soap bars.
- The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) sample preparation involves fracturing a shaped solid with simple pressure to obtain a fresh surface for examination. The fractured sample is reduced in size (razor blade) to approximately a 10 mm x 15 mm rectangle with a thickness of about 5 mm. The sample is mounted on an aluminum SEM stub using silver paint adhesive. The mounted sample is coated with approximately 300 angstroms of gold/palladium in a Pelco sputter coater. Prior to coating, the sample is subjected to vacuum for a period of time which is sufficient to allow sufficient loss of bar moisture assuring acceptable coating quality. After coating, the sample is transferred to the SEM chamber and examined under standard SEM operating conditions with an Hitachi Model S570 Scanning Electron Microscope in order to see the skeletal (core) frame.

More specifically FIGS. 1 and 2 are elongated C₁₂ sodium soap fibers, enlarged respectively at 5000X and 2500X magnifications. The structure of FIGS. 1 and 2 are made with 5% soap; 94% water; and 1% sodium chloride. See Example 10 in Table 7 herein. Note that larger fibers in the interlocking mesh can be composed of smaller fibers. Also, note the "void" spaces. See FIG. 2.

- FIG. 10 shows a sample of a market NEUTROGENA (RTM) transparent bar at 1500X.
- In FIGS. 1 and 2, the samples are first melted on a hot plate and recooled on a glass slide. The other samples, FIGS. 3-10, are samples of original shaped solid structures or the conventional bar prepared as set out herein.
- The invention provides a cleansing bar comprising a shaped solid comprising two or more phases. One phase is a crystalline skeleton structure comprising a rigid interlocking, open, three-dimensional mesh of neutralized carboxylic acid elongated crystals. The other essential phase is an aqueous phase which is soft or flowable at 25°C.
- More specifically, the skeleton structure is a relatively rigid, interlocking, open, three-dimensional mesh of neutralized mono- and/or di-carboxylic acid elongated crystals.
- The terms: skeleton structure, skeletal structure, core, and skeleton frame are often used interchangeably herein.
- The term "shaped solids" as used herein includes forms such as bars, cakes and the like. The term "bar" as used herein includes the same unless otherwise specified.
- The term "mesh" as used herein means an interlocking crystalline skeleton network with voids or openings when viewed under magnification by scanning electron microscopy.
- In another respect, the present invention provides an improved cleansing bar which is comprised of said skeleton structure. Some shaped solids are in the form of cleansing bars which contain surprisingly high levels of said aqueous phase comprising water, other liquids and soft materials. Notwithstanding the presence of relatively large levels of an aqueous phase, the preferred bars of the present invention maintain their rigidity and excellent smear properties, even when allowed to soak overnight in water. While not being bound to any theory, the shaped solid comprising these phases is similar to a relatively rigid wet sponge.
- The crystalline phase comprises crystals in the form of either interlocking platelets and/or fibers, preferably fibers. Preferably said fibers are composed of sodium soap. The interlocking mesh of said fibers and/or platelets imparts strength to the three-dimensional structure, even in the presence of relatively high levels of water or other soft materials; even when allowed to soak overnight in water.
- The strength of the skeleton structure can be measured indirectly by the hardness of the shaped solid, as determined by the resistance to penetration of the solid using a Standard Weighted Penetrometer Probe. See Bar Hardness Test below for more details. The skeleton structure is of sufficient rigidity that a 25 mm thick or greater cleansing bar sample has a penetration of from zero mm to 12 mm, preferably from 1 mm to 10 mm, more preferably from 3 mm to 8 mm.
- The present bars are distinguished from conventional transparent bars based on crystal size, as well as other characteristics. The crystals or crystal bundles that make-up the interlocking mesh structure of the present invention are of a size that diffracts light and consequently are greater than 400 nm in either diameter or length. On the other hand, conventional transparent bars gain their transparency by having crystal diameters or length less than the wavelength of white light, which is greater than about 400 nm and consequently do not diffract light.
- Once formed, a bar (shaped solid) comprising the rigid skeletal structure of the present invention loses its rigidity when subjected to fracturing mechanical forces, e.g., those used in a conventional plodded bar making process as disclosed in US-A-4,812,253, Small et al., or US-A-4,820,447, Medcalf et al. This is because the fracturing mechanical forces, shear and break up the rigid, skeletal structure into smaller pieces. Thus, when a bar of the present invention is sheared in a plodder, a much softer bar results.
- On the other hand, when a finished conventional bar is plodded or replodded the replodded conventional bar is still very hard. See Example 28 and Table 12 for more details on this point.
- The skeletal structure contains substantial "void" areas which are filled by soft and/or liquid aqueous phases. It is a surprising aspect of this invention that the physical properties of the bar, such as bar hardness and little smear, are mostly dependent on the crystalline interlocking mesh structure, even when the other phases make up a majority of the materials present. In conventional bars, many components can impact the overall bar physical properties because the components either modify the phase and structure of the soap or synthetic surfactant components that primarily determine the bar's physical properties. The combination of two or more phases (e.g., soap and aqueous solution) drastically changes the colloidal structure, and consequently, the physical properties of a conventional bar.
- Thus, conventional bars are more limited in the type, levels and composition of soft phase materials that can be incorporated into the bar than the present invention. Such phases include most materials that are either flowable liquids or materials that are softer than the minimum hardness of an acceptable bar. These phases include aqueous solutions, liquid crystalline phases composed of water and surfactant, polymers; particularly surfactant-containing crystalline phases, and especially hygroscopic surfactants, which tend to become soft and sticky when mixed with water or other liquid phases including water-soluble organics (e.g., propylene glycol and glycerine), hydrophobic materials (e.g., mineral oil, liquid triglycerides), or soft hydrophobic materials, e.g., petrolatum, low melting paraffin, and low melting triglycerides.

- The above preferred personal cleansing bar is more preferred when said hygroscopic synthetic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of alpha sulfo fatty acid esters; alkyl sulfates; alkyl ether carboxylates; alkyl betaines; alkyl sultaines; alkyl amine oxides; alkyl ether sulfates; and mixtures thereof.
- This preferred personal cleansing bar is more preferred when said bar contains from 0.5% to 40% by weight of salts and/or salt hydrates selected from the group consisting of: sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium pyrophosphate, sodium tetraborate, sodium acetate, sodium citrate, and other compatible salts of inorganic acids and short chain organic acids.
- A highly preferred cleansing bar comprises: various combinations of the core structure of sodium soap fibers, water, mild synthetic surfactants, bar appearance stabilizers, skin mildness aides and other cleansing bar adjuvants. Such preferred bar can be formulated to have essentially no bar smear.
- Some preferred bars of the present invention comprise: a rigid, interlocking mesh of neutralized carboxylic acid fiber-like core consisting essentially of sodium fatty acid soap composed of at least 50% saturated fatty alkyl chains having 12 to 24 carbon atoms. Preferably at least about 25% of said saturated alkyl chains are of a single chain length.
- Some compositions of this invention comprise the above-defined rigid mesh with water and without water. These compositions must be formed with water or another suitable solvent system. The compositions can be made with large amounts of water and the water level in the final composition can be reduced to as low as 1% or 2% by weight.
- However, it is a special advantage of some structures described herein that they can be dehydrated without loss of the integrity of the mesh. Some preferred shaped solids can be dehydrated without appreciable change in their outer dimensions. Other bars shrink while maintaining their three-dimensional form. Some bars herein have the unique characteristic that they are not destroyed by dehydration.
- More complex bars of the present invention comprise a skeletal structure comprising other salts of fatty acids selected from potassium, magnesium, triethanolammonium and/or calcium soaps used in combination with the selected levels of sodium and/or lithium soaps. More complex cleansing bars can contain surprisingly large amounts of water, mild synthetic surfactants, bar appearance stabilizers, skin mildness aids and other cleansing bar adjuvants; yet are mild and have very good low smear.
- Tables 1-3 set out some preferred bars which are made with the sodium salts of the fatty carboxylic acid (FA) soap.
- The percentages, ratios, and parts herein are on a total composition weight basis, unless otherwise specified. All levels and ranges herein are approximations unless otherwise specified.
TABLE 1 Preferred Bars, Chain Lengths and Levels Preferred More Preferred Most Preferred Water Level 15-94% 25-60% 30-45% Water:Soap Ratio 0.7:1 1:1-5:1 1.5:1-2:1 FA Chain Length C₁₂₋₂₄ C₁₄₋₂₂ C₁₄₋₁₈ FA Soap Level in Total Formulation 6-50% 15-35% 15-30% - All highs and lows are not necessarily shown in Table 1. For example, some selected sodium soap can be used at a level up to 75% by weight. Thus, the range is from 5% to 75% by weight. The preferred levels and ratios can vary from cation to cation, etc., and from mono- to polycarboxylic acids.
- The bars shown in Table 1 are made with the level of water indicated, but the water level of the final bars can be reduced to provide bars which contain reduced levels of water or even little or no water. A preferred level of water is from 20% to 80% by weight of the bar.
- Table 2 below shows some preferred levels of soaps of a single FA chain length. Table 3 shows some preferred levels of unsaturation in the FA's used in the compositions of the present invention. Some preferred compositions contain little or no short chain FA's of ten carbon atoms or less. The terms "soap", "fatty acid (FA) salts" and "monocarboxylic acid salts" as used herein are sometimes interchangeable. "Soap" is used since it is easier to relate to and is the preferred embodiment.
TABLE 2 The % Soap of Single Chain Length (of Total Fibrous Soap Content) Preferred More Preferred Most Preferred C₁₂₋₂₄ 25-100% 50-100% 75-100% TABLE 3 The Total % Unsaturated or Low (C₁₀ or less) Chain Length Soaps Broad Preferred More Preferred C₁₂ 0-15% 0-5% 0-1% C₁₄₋₂₄ 0-50% 0-10% 0-1% - The highs and lows of some key preferred optional ingredients for complex soap bar compositions of this invention are set out in Table 4. None of these ingredients is essential for the basic, preferred bar core structure. Zero is the lowest level for each optional ingredient. Some preferred bars can contain a total of from 0.1% up to 70% by weight of such ingredients. The idea here is that the core bars can contain large amounts of other ingredients besides soap and water. The levels set out in Table 4 are particularly illustrative for bars containing from more than 5% to 75% by weight selected sodium soap and other ingredients.
- It should be understood that solid shapes can be made with just lithium soap or just neutralized polycarboxylic acid, but would be expected to be somewhat different from the levels and ratios given for sodium soaps.
TABLE 4 Highs and Lows Wt.% of Other Ingredients for More Complex Sodium Soap Bars Preferred More Preferred Most Preferred Neutralized Dicarboxylic Acid 1-40% 2-30% 5-25% Lithium "Soap" 1-40% 2-30% 5-25% Potassium Soap 1-10% 2-10% 5-8% Magnesium or Calcium Soap 1-35% 1-12% 3-8% Triethanolammonium Soap 1-15% 2-15% 5-10% Synthetic Surfactant 1-60% 4-25% 8-16% Other Salts and Salt Hydrates 0.5-50% 1-25% 2-15% Non-Volatile, Water-Soluble Nonionic Organics 1.0-50% 2-40% 5-20% Polymeric Mildness Enhancers 0.1-20% 0.25-10% 1-5% Waxes 0.1-40% 2-35% 3-10% Other Impalpable Water-insolubles 1-60% 4-25% 8-16% Aluminosilicates/Clay 0.5-25% 1-10% 3-8% - The soaps useful in the present invention can be of the same alkyl chain lengths, i.e., which are selected from the 12 to 24 carbon atoms as set out in Table 2. The same chain lengths apply for the other non-sodium soaps used in the bars of the present invention.
- The sodium soap is preferably at least 50% by weight of the soap present in the bar.
- The levels of potassium soap and/or triethanolammonium soap should not exceed one-half, preferably one-third, more preferably less than one-fourth, that of the sodium soap and the level of magnesium soap should not exceed about one-third of the level of sodium soap, and is preferably less than about one-fourth that of the sodium soap.
- The total of other soaps, save lithium soap, should preferably not exceed one-half, preferably one-third, of the sodium soap.
- The synthetic detergent constituent of the bar compositions of the invention can be designated as being a detergent from the class consisting of anionic, nonionic, amphoteric and zwitterionic synthetic detergents. Both low and high lathering and high and low water-soluble surfactants can be used in the bar compositions of the present invention.
- Examples of suitable synthetic detergents for use herein are these described in US-A-3,351,558, Zimmerer, issued Nov. 7, 1967, at column 6, line 70 to column 7, line 74.
- Examples include the water-soluble salts of organic, sulfonic acids and of aliphatic sulfuric acid esters, that is, water-soluble salts of organic sulfuric reaction products having in the molecular structure an alkyl radical of from 10 to 22 carbon atoms and a radical selected from the group consisting of sulfonic acid and sulfuric acid ester radicals.
- Synthetic sulfate detergents of special interest are the normally solid alkali metal salts of sulfuric acid esters of normal primary aliphatic alcohols having from 10 to 22 carbon atoms. Thus, the sodium and potassium salts of alkyl sulfuric acids obtained from the mixed higher alcohols derived by the reduction of tallow or by the reduction of coconut oil, palm oil, stearine, palm kernel oil, babassu kernel oil or other oils of the coconut group can be used herein.
- Other aliphatic sulfuric acid esters which can be suitably employed include the water-soluble salts of sulfuric acid esters of polyhydric alcohols incompletely esterified with high molecular weight soap-forming carboxylic acids. Such synthetic detergents include the water-soluble alkali metal salts of sulfuric acid esters of higher molecular weight fatty acid monoglycerides such as the sodium and potassium salts of the coconut oil fatty acid monoester of 1,2-hydroxypropane-3-sulfuric acid ester, sodium and potassium monomyristoyl ethylene glycol sulfate, and sodium and potassium monolauroyl diglycerol sulfate.
- The synthetic surfactants and other optional materials useful in conventional cleaning products are also useful in the present invention. In fact, some ingredients such as certain hygroscopic synthetic surfactants which are normally used in liquids and which are very difficult to incorporate into normal cleansing bars are very compatible in the bars of the present invention. Thus, essentially all of the known synthetic surfactants which are useful in cleansing products are useful in the compositions of the present invention. The cleansing product patent literature is full of synthetic surfactant disclosures. Some preferred surfactants as well as other cleansing product ingredients are disclosed in the following references:

US-A-4,954,282 9/1990 Rys et al. - Some preferred synthetic surfactants are shown the Examples herein. Preferred synthetic surfactant systems are selectively designed for bar appearance stability, lather, cleansing and mildness.
- It is noted that surfactant mildness can be measured by a skin barrier destruction test which is used to assess the irritancy potential of surfactants. In this, test the milder the surfactant, the lesser the skin barrier is destroyed. Skin barrier destruction is measured by the relative amount of radio-labeled water (³H-H₂O) which passes from the test solution through the skin epidermis into the physiological buffer contained in the diffusate chamber. This test is described by T.J. Franz in the J. Invest. Dermatol., 1975, 64, pp. 190-195; and in US-A-4,673,525, Small et al., issued June 16, 1987, and which disclose a mild alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonate (AGS) surfactant based synbar comprising a "standard" alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonate mixture.

These polymers have a polysaccharide backbone comprised of galactomannan units and a degree of cationic substitution ranging from about 0.04 per anhydroglucose unit to about 0.80 per anhydroglucose unit with the substituent cationic group being the adduct of 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride to the natural polysaccharide backbone. Examples are JAGUAR C-14-S (RTM), C-15 (RTM) and C-17 (RTM) sold by Celanese Corporation. In order to achieve the benefits described in this invention, the polymer must have characteristics, either structural or physical which allow it to be suitably and fully hydrated and subsequently well incorporated into the soap matrix.
- A mild skin cleansing bar of the present invention can contain from 0.5% to 20% by weight of a mixture of a silicone gum and a silicone fluid wherein the gum:fluid ratio is from 10:1 to 1:10, preferably from 4:1 to 1:4, most preferably from 3:2 to 2:3.
- Silicone gum and fluid blends have been disclosed for use in shampoos and/or conditioners in US-A-4,906,459, Cobb et al., issued March 6, 1990; US-A-4,788,006, Bolich, Jr. et al., issued Nov. 29, 1988; US-A-4,741,855, Grote et al., issued May 3, 1988; US-A-4,728,457, Fieler et al., issued March 1, 1988; US-A-4,704,272, Oh et al., issued Nov. 3, 1987; and US-A-2,826,551, Geen, issued March 11, 1958.

compatible salt and salt hydrates;
water-soluble organics such as polyols, urea;
aluminumosilicates and clays; and
mixtures thereof, as set out above in Table 4. - Water-soluble organics are also used to stabilize the appearance of the bar soaps of the present invention. Some preferred water-soluble organics are propylene glycol, glycerine, ethylene glycol, sucrose, and urea, and other compatible polyols.
- A particularly suitable water-soluble organic is propylene glycol.

- The paraffin preferably is present in the bar in an amount ranging from 5% to 20% by weight. The paraffin ingredient is used in the product to impart skin mildness, plasticity, firmness, and processability. It also provides a glossy look and smooth feel to the bar.
- The paraffin ingredient is optionally supplemented by a microcrystalline wax. A suitable microcrystalline wax has a melting point ranging, for example, from about 140°F (60°C) to about 185°F (85°C), preferably from about 145°F (62°C) to about 175°F (79°C). The wax preferably should meet the FDA requirements for food grade microcrystalline waxes. A very suitable microcrystalline wax is obtained from Witco Chemical Company under the trade name Multiwax X-145A (RTM). The microcrystalline wax preferably is present in the bar in an amount ranging from 0.5% to 5% by weight. The microcrystalline wax ingredient imparts pliability to the bar at room temperatures.
- The following examples are illustrative. Unneutralized or "free" fatty acids, as used in the examples, are of the same chain lengths as those used to make the soaps, unless otherwise specified. All levels and ranges, temperatures, results, etc., used herein, are approximations unless otherwise specified.
- The cleansing bars in the Examples are made by the following procedure unless otherwise specified:
- 1. Fatty acid precursor, propylene glycol, sodium chloride, and water (excluding water coming in with other raw materials) are mixed and heated to 71°C.
- 2. Caustic solution (50% sodium hydroxide) is added and the mixture is stirred until smooth forming an aqueous molten liquid comprising from 15% to 94% by weight water and from 5.5% to 75% by weight soap (neutralized carboxylic acid). The temperature during neutralization of the molten liquid increases to ∼95°C.
- 3. Other ingredients are added preferably in the following order and the temperature is maintained at ∼88°C: coco betaine; sodium lauroyl sarcosinate; or sodium alpha-sulfo methyl cocoate: kaolin clay; or hydrated zeolite (synthetic sodium aluminosilicate); and paraffin. Perfume is added last.
- 4. The molten liquid mixture is poured into shaped molds.
- 5. The molten liquid crystallizes (solidifies) on cooling to room temperature and the resultant bars are removed from the moulds.
- The bars of the examples are made using the above general procedure, unless otherwise specified.
- It is important to note that, when the formulations which are used in the Examples of the present invention are subjected to a conventional plodding or freezer process very soft or no bars are formed. Example II is a very highly preferred overall bar.

- 1. The hardness of a bar is determined by measuring at 25°C the depth of penetration (in mm) into the bar of a 247 gram Standard Weighted Penetrometer Probe having a conically shaped needle attached to a 22.9 cm (9 inch) shaft weighing 47 grams with 200 grams on top of said shaft. A hardness measurement of 5 mm or less indicates a very hard bar; 5-10 mm indicates a moderately hard bar; 10-12 mm indicates a somewhat soft bar of marginal acceptance; and greater than 12 mm indicates a very soft bar that is unacceptable for most uses. This defines "hardness" as used herein unless otherwise specified.
-
- 2. The smear grade is determined by a (1) placing a soap bar on a perch in a 1400 mm diameter circular dish; (2) adding 200 ml of room temperature water to the dish such that the bottom 3 mm of the bar is submerged in water; (3) letting the bar soak overnight (15 hours); (4) turn the bar over and grade qualitatively for the combined amount of smear, and characteristics of smear, depth of smear on a scale where 10 equals no smear, 8.0-9.5 equals low smear amount, 5.0-7.5 equals moderate smears similar to most marketed bars, and 4.5 or less equals very poor smear.
Commercial soap bars, e.g., SAFEGUARD (RTM), ZEST (RTM), IVORY (RTM), and LAVA (RTM), have smears of about 5, 6, 6, and 6, respectively. See Table 12 for more data. -
- 3. Shrinkage is measured by placing a freshly made unwrapped bar in a room that is held at 26°C and 15% relative humidity for one week. The amount of shrinkage from the original bar shape is determined on a qualitative scale where 0 indicates no shrinkage, + indicates slight shrinkage, ++ indicates moderate shrinkage, and +++ indicates great shrinkage.
In Tables 6 and 7, soap bars 1-10 are set out to show bar hardness, smear and shrinkage for C₁₀, C₁₂, C₁₄, C₁₆, and C₁₈ alkyl chain soaps as shown. The preferred alkyl chain soaps of the present invention are set out above in Tables 1 and 2.

A solid bar with excellent smear properties is formed.
- For Examples 26 and 27, the diacid is melted (150-180°C) and a hot (90°C) caustic solution (two equivalents of NaOH) is added. The mixture is stirred for ∼5 minutes. For Example 27, the sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is predissolved in the caustic/water solution. The bar becomes solid on cooling, with further hardening occurring upon degradation, e.g., to 35-40% water by weight of the bar.
- Example 25 demonstrates the ability to form high moisture, firm and non-smearing bars without the need for sodium soap. Examples 26 and 27 demonstrate the ability to form a totally soap-free product and still obtain the relatively rigid intermeshed fiber structure.
- Example 28 below is made by a freezer bar process disclosed in commonly assigned, U.S. Pat. Application Ser. No. 07/731,163, Taneri et al., filed July 15, 1991. This process provides a personal cleansing freezer bar comprising a skeleton structure having a relatively rigid, interlocking, semi-continuous, open, three-dimensional, crystalline mesh of neutralized carboxylic acid soap made by the following steps:
- (1) mixing a molten mixture comprising by weight of said bar: from 15% to 85% by weight of said soap and from 15% to 40% by weight water;
- (2) cooling said mixture to a semi-solid in a scraped wall heat exchanger freezer;
- (3) extruding said semi-solid as a soft plug; and
- (4) further cooling and crystallizing said soft plug until firm to provide said personal cleansing freezer bar.
- The soap specified in the formulation is made in situ by mixing the desired fatty acids, consisting essentially of C₁₂-C₂₄ chain lengths, with the appropriate base or mixture of bases, consisting essentially of sodium, lithium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium hydroxide and triethanolamine. The fatty acid, base, and water are mixed at from about 170°F to about 200°F (76°-93°C) to form the soap. In Example 28, 180°F is used. Sufficient water is used such that the mixture is stirrable. The other ingredients are added, maintaining the temperature of from about 180°F to about 200°F (82°-93°C). Example 28 - 180°F. The optimal mixing temperatures can vary depending on the particular formulation.
- Aerate (optional) said mix and add perfume (only if drying) and other minors with positive displacement pump or other in-line mixer. Example 28 is not aerated or dried. The mixture of Step (1) is optionally dried to reduce the amount of said water to the desired level, preferably 20-40% by weight water. The flash drying temperature is from about 225°F to about 315°F (135°-157°C) at pressure of from about 30 to abut 100 psi (115-517 mm Hg).
- Cool the mix using a scraped wall heat exchanger (freezer) to partially crystallize the components from an initial temperature of from about 180°F to about 200°F (82°-93°C) or from about 200°F to about 220°F (93°-104°C), if dried, to a final temperature preferably from about 135°F to about 180°F (57°-82°C), more preferably from about 145°F to about 180°F (63°-82°C), and most preferably from about 155°F to about 175°F (68°-79°C). This final temperature, also referred to herein as the Freezer Outlet Temperature (FOT), is typically the maximum temperature that will form a smooth plug that holds its shape once extruded onto a moving belt (Step 4). The FOT for Example 28 is 175°F.
- The cooled mix of Step 3 is extruded out onto a moving belt as a soft plug which is then cooled and fully crystallized and then stamped and packaged. The plugs are preferably formed via an extrusion operation, as shown in US-A-3,835,059, supra. Some of the composition crystallizes in the freezer (Step 3) in order to provide a semi-solid having a sufficient viscosity to stand up on the belt, while further crystallization occurs after extrusion, resulting in hardening of the bar. The final crystallization of the sodium soap forms the interlocking, semi-continuous, open mesh structure in the freezer bar of the present invention.

Four trade bars are selected that represent various soap processes: SAFEGUARD (RTM), a soap milled bar; ZEST (RTM), a soap synthetic milled bar; IVORY (RTM), a freezer bar; and LAVA (RTM), a framed bar. Samples of these market bars and formed bars of Example 28 and Example II are plodded using the procedure set out below.
- Overall, the market bars after plodding are much harder and have a better smear versus Example 28 or Example II after plodding. This data is detailed in Table 12. This test clearly is an excellent method of differentiating bars containing the rigid skeletal structure versus other bars. Simply stated, the bars of this invention will become much more soft after replodding than conventional bars.
- The procedure is as follows:
- 1. Formed bars (about 2.5 Kg or greater) are placed into a single stage plodder (4 inch/10.16 cm bonnet single stage plodder) without vacuum and are run through a noodle plate. The noodle plate contains nineteen 0.37 inch (0.93 cm) holes in a 3.1 inch (8 cm) plate. The barrel temperature is set at 120°F (49°C) and the nose temperature is set at 110°F (43.5°C).
- 2.
Step 1 is repeated with the noodles. - 3. The noodles of Step 2 are placed into the single stage plodder (4 inch/10.16 cm bonnet single stage plodder) with vacuum applied and run through a brick-shaped orifice. A brick-shaped plug with approximate dimensions of 1.88 inches (4.6 cm) (height) by 1.16 inches (3 cm) (width) by 3 inches (7.6 cm) (length) is extruded. These plugs should have an interior temperature of 90°F (32°C) to 105°F (41°C).
- 4. These plugs are stamped into a brick shape and are allowed to cool to room temperature (at least 12 hours) before evaluation.
- While not being bound to a theory, plodded bars with Delta's of 4 or greater is a strong indication that there is a skeletal structure in the original which is fractured or destroyed when plodded. The hard bars of the present invention will form soft, messy bars when plodded in a conventional bar process.
- The bars of Example 28 bars are first formed using the above freezer process. The bars of Example II are first formed using the above-described frame bar process.
- About 5-10 Kg of each bar is plodded and stamped.
- The market bars are made of tallow and coconut natural soaps. The hardness of plodded SAFEGUARD (RTM) and ZEST (RTM) bars are about the same as the original bars. The IVORY (RTM) and LAVA (RTM) plodded bars (2) are slightly softer than the original bars.
- On the other hand, the plodded Bar 2 of Example 28 is much softer than the
original Bar 1 of Example 28. More dramatically, the plodded Bar 2 of Example II falls apart upon plodding and is too soft to stamp. Its hardness after plodding is that of a soft aqueous phase, indicating that the rigidity of the skeletal structure is essentially destroyed.
