International Classification:

A61K 750

US Classification:

510146, 510151, 510153, 510155

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a multiphase cleansing bar having a plurality of phases of cleansing material. Adjacent phases preferably have different concentration levels of benefit components respectively and all the phases individually preferably have a substantially similar cleansing base consisting of a syndet base, a soap base, or mixtures thereof. These benefit components are emollients, moisturizers, nutrients, anti-aging materials etc. Segregation of the benefit rich component is expected to result in improved deposition of the benefit components on the skin during the product application, which improves the moisture barrier properties of the skin. Chemical and Theological compatibility between the phases is maximized and recycling of the product during production is facilitated with the use of a uniform cleansing base. Methods of producing the inventive bar by extruding and melt casting are also disclosed.

International Classification:

A47K 702

US Classification:

401201

Abstract:

The invention relates to a cleansing system comprising a synthetic detergent bar and a pouf/sponge for holding the bar. By inserting bar inside the pouf, it has been found that lather can be enhanced, even in compositions comprising lather depressing emollients. The bar holder and bar system also help decrease perception of mush.

International Classification:

C11O 332

US Classification:

510141

Abstract:

The present invention relates to cast melt bar composition comprising surfactant, fatty acid, generally lower MW polyalkylene glycol and small amounts of water wherein the ratio of total polyol to water is at least 3:1. By using less water and greater variants of polyol, the bars allow larger amounts of generally insoluble materials to be used and also allow retention of bar integrity using limited amounts of soap (important for mildness).
