The present invention relates to a stress stable lathering skin cleansing liquid composition comprising by weight parts of the liquid composition:

Dispersed smectite clay as oil in water stabilizer for skin cleansing

The invention provides a shaped solid, three-dimensional skeleton structure comprising: a relatively rigid, interlocking mesh of neutralized crystalline carboxylic acid. In another respect, the present invention provides an improved cleansing bar which is comprised of the rigid, interlocking mesh of neutralized carboxylic acid, preferably sodium soap fibers. Such preferred cleansing bars can be formulated to have essentially no bar smear. Some cleansing bars comprise surprisingly large amounts of water and other liquids while maintaining their rigidity and excellent smear properties; even when allowed to soak overnight in water.

Shaped solid made with a rigid, interlocking mesh of neutralized

Toilet bar compositions containing alkali metal soap and cationic guar gum provided by a fast hydrating cationic guar gum. The bars exhibit improved bar feel. The formulations of the bars have improved processability. The toilet bars comprise alkali metal soap and from about 0.2% to about 5% by weight of the fast hydrating cationic guar gum.

Toilet bar composition containing cationic guar gum

A process for making glycerinated toilet bar compositions which are substantially free of hard specks, wherein the soap is worked (e.g., milled) prior to the addition of glycerin.

Process for making high-glycerin soap bars
