Abstract
Formulations for transparent soaps and methods of preparation are disclosed. The transparent soaps are prepared by combining high and low molecular weight fatty acids in the presence of polyhydric alcohols. Citric acid is added to adjust pH. The formulations do not require volatile, short-chain monohydric alcohols to achieve transparency and the end products are able to retain transparent qualities when exposed to hot water conditions. Suitable formulations can be remelted to reduce waste.
