Abstract

The present invention relates to a clear colorless soap bar with superior mildness, lathering and discoloration resistance. The clear colorless soap consists of a blend of C12-C18 fatty acids neutralized with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and triethanolamine (TEA). Excess TEA acts as a co-solvent and is responsible for clarity of the soap bar. The bar also contains a branched chain acid such as isostearic acid to break up crystallinity and add to product clarity. Low color and color stability are obtained by removing unsaturated fatty acids, and by the use of antioxidants (BHT and Vitamin E). Low levels of C6 to C10 fatty acids provide exceptional mildness.
