SOAP COMPOSITIONS OF IMPROVED RESISTANCE TO CRACKING

摘要

Soap compositions in solid form such as bars or tablets or the like, are provided with improved resistance to cracking by the addition thereto of from about 1 to about 5% by weight of a mixture of polycarboxylic acids of 4 to 20 carbon atoms and wherein at least about 20% by weight of the mixture comprises di-carboxylic acid of not more than 9 carbon atoms in a straight chain. Better lathering is also obtained with such compositions.
