A soap bar that exhibits antibacterial effectiveness includes, by weight, at least about 45% soap having alkyl chain lengths of 8-10 carbon atoms, water, and free fatty acid such that the pH of a 10% aqueous solution of the soap bar is no greater than about 9.5.

Soap bars exhibiting antibacterial effectiveness and method of producing same

A composition and a method of preparing a solid, transparent/translucent moisturizing/cosmetic/personal cleansing bar having one or more visible soap inserts, wherein a transparent soap matrix surrounding the soap insert has an increased melting temperature of at least 55&deg; C. to prevent melting the soap insert during manufacture, and to reduce deformation during storage and handling, increasing its hardness and durability, and substantially reducing the tendency of the bar to lose weight over time by evaporation of water by exposure to room temperature. The soap insert can have the same composition as the surrounding transparent matrix soap, having less water to provide at least a 3&deg; C. higher melting point, and/or a small percentage of pigment or dye, for easy recycling of defective bars, without the need to separate the soap insert from the surrounding matrix soap.

Composite transparent bar soap containing visible soap insert(s)

A composition and a method of preparing a transparent/translucent moisturizing/cosmetic/personal cleansing bar having a final water content of about 13% by weight or less, preferably about 7% to about 11% water, thereby increasing the melting temperature of the bar to prevent melting and reduce deformation during storage and handling, increasing its hardness and durability, and substantially reducing the tendency of the bar to lose weight over time by evaporation of water by exposure to room temperature.
