BAR COMPOSITION COMPRISING COPOLYMER MILDNESS ACTIVES

摘要

A bar composition comprises (a) 30-85 wt.% fatty acid soaps; (b) 0-30 wt.% of a synthetic surfactant; (c) 0-40 wt.% of a structurant selected from alkylene oxide components having a molecular weight of 2000-25000; 8-22C free fatty acids; 2-20C alkanols; paraffin waxes; and water-soluble starches; and (d) 1-25 wt.% of a polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene nonionic polymer surfactant (EO-PO polymer) where the weight ratio of fatty acid soaps and anionic surfactants to EO-PO polymer is 1.2:1 to 15:1, preferably 1.5:1 to 9:1. Preferably the synthetic surfactant component (b) is selected from anionic surfactant, nonionic surfactant (other than the nonionic polymer surfactant (d)), cationic surfactant, amphoteric surfactant and mixtures of these. The molecular weights of alkylene oxide components of structurant (c) are 3000-10000.
