TRANSPARENT SOAP BARS

摘要

Transparent soap bars having improved lathering and foaming characteristics contain (1) an alkanolamine; (2) an alkyl polyglycoside of the formula (I) R1(R2O)b(Z)a, wherein R1 is a monovalent organic radical having from about 6 to about 30 carbon atoms; R2 is divalent alkylene radical having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms; Z is a saccharide residue having 5 or 6 carbon atoms; b is a number having a value from 0 to about 12; a is a number having a value from 1 to about 6; (3) a polyol; (4) a fatty acid which is at least 70 % neutralized by sodium hydroxide; and (5) water wherein the water to free alkanolamine weight ratio is greater than 1.0 and the ratio of the weight of the polyol to the sum of the weights of free alkanolamine + alkyl polyglycoside + polyol + water is less than about 0.4.
