Kaolin gives the structure to the soap, but the most important function of kaolin is to reduce cost of the final soap bars. Other R. Raw Materials Values. Caustic Soda. Sodium Silicate is a compound also called "liquid glass". In soap manufacturing it is used in transparent liquid solution. Sodium Silicate is a cheap filler and mainly used in laundry soap bars.

For many, the smell recalls cleanliness, childhood, and hygiene. This characteristic has made it useful in cosmetics and antiperspirants as well as building materials and even food.
However, the mineral is not without its problems. Since the s, researchers have questioned the potential contamination of talc with asbestos and the possible ramifications that such a connection can have on consumer health. The FDA has been tasked with investigating the safety risks associated with talcum powder, and recent research has renewed the inquiry. Cosmetic grade talc is not subject to regulation by the Food and Drug Administration, which means that it is often untested and may not be pure, uncontaminated talcum powder.
Talc and asbestos naturally occur in similar environments, and many mining sites contain both minerals. This proximity can lead to dangerous cross-contamination, as both minerals are fine and easily airborne. As a result, some products containing talc may also contain asbestos, a dangerous material linked to mesothelioma, an extremely aggressive and rare form of cancer. As previously mentioned, talc is one agent that provides various user benefits.
For example, talc imparts increased lather and improved skin feel to a user when it is employed in a bar of soap. Furtheiinore, since talc is a useful and inexpensive filler it decreases the cost of manufacturing soap bars while providing such user benefits. Enhancing these benefits in a cost-effective manner is an aim for soap companies.
Accordingly, there is a continuing need for optimizing bar soap formulations in terms of their user benefits such as skin feel and the amount of lather generated while washing with a typical amount of soap. In addition, it is desirable to provide such benefits with as little expense as possible. Furthermore, other desirable features and characteristics of the present invention will become apparent from the subsequent detailed description of the invention and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and this background of the invention.
A personal cleansing composition is provided in solid form. The personal cleansing composition includes soap at a concentration of at least 10 weight percent of the composition; and talc having a primarily triclinic crystal structure, the talc being included at a concentration of between 0.
A method is also provided for enhancing lathering properties of a bar soap. The method includes the step of molding a bar soap from a composition including soap at a concentration of at least about 10 weight percent of the composition, and talc having a primarily triclinic crystal structure, the talc being included at a concentration of between about 0. The present invention will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the following drawing figures, wherein like numerals denote like elements, and.
The following detailed description of the invention is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the invention or the application and uses of the invention. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any theory presented in the preceding background of the invention or the following detailed description of the invention.
The personal cleansing bars of the present invention typically, although not as a requirement, will include the components outlined in Table 1, with the listed concentration ranges being after manufacture and in the final product form. The bars may contain additional additives, such as antibacterial agents, dyes, perfumes, polymers, silicones, encapsulated materials, and the like.
The preparation of toilet soap bars, as is well known by those skilled in soap manufacture, typically involves the use of water-soluble soap from a fat charge that is capable of providing a combination of individual soaps of fatty acids suitable for the formation of a solid bar. Individual soap compounds may be alkali metal, ammonium or substituted ammonium salts, preferably sodium or potassium salts, of long-chain fatty acids.
Normally such fatty acids will be straight chain saturated or unsaturated fatty acids of from 8 to 24 carbon atoms, preferably from 14 to 18 carbon atoms. Suitable fatty acids are those of tallow, groundnut, cottonseed, palm, palm kernel, babassu, and coconut oils, for instance lauric, myristic, palmitic, oleic, and stearic acids and the acids of dehydrated hardened castor oil; or erucic and behenic acids.
Suitable anionic surfactants include, but are not limited to, compounds in the classes known as alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfates, alkyl ether sulfonates, sulfate esters of an alkylphenoxy polyoxyethylene ethanol, alpha-olefin sulfonates, beta-alkoxy alkane sulfonates, alkylaryl sulfonates, alkyl monoglyceride sulfates, alkyl monoglyceride sulfonates, alkyl carbonates, alkyl ether carboxylates, fatty acids, sulfosuccinates, sarcosinates, oxtoxynol or nonoxynol phosphates, taurates, fatty taurides, fatty acid amide polyoxyethylene sulfates, isethionates, or mixtures thereof.
Numerous other anionic surfactants, and classes of anionic surfactants, are disclosed in Laughlin et al. The cleansing bars of the present invention also can contain nonionic surfactants. Typically, a nonionic surfactant has a hydrophobic base, such as a long chain alkyl group or an alkylated aryl group, and a hydrophilic chain comprising a sufficient number i.
Examples of classes of nonionic surfactants include ethoxylated alkylphenols, ethoxylated and propoxylated fatty alcohols, polyethylene glycol ethers of methyl glucose, polyethylene glycol ethers of sorbitol, ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block copolymers, ethoxylated esters of fatty C 8 -C 18 acids, condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain amines or amides, and mixtures thereof. Fatty alcohol ethoxylates FAE are useful for dissolving antibacterial compounds, such as triclosan or triclocarban TCC.
In addition to anionic and nonionic surfactants, cationic, amphoteric, and amphoteric surfactants can be used in the cleansing bars of the present invention. Examples of cationic surfactants include amine oxides. Amphoteric surfactants can be broadly described as derivatives of secondary and tertiary amines having aliphatic radicals that are straight chain or branched, and wherein one of the aliphatic substituents contains from about 8 to 18 carbon atoms and at least one of the aliphatic substituents contains an anionic water-solubilizing group, e.
