S10/141; 510/152; 510/458 57) ABSTRACT ‘A method is provided for enabling the use of high levels of fluid material (¢-g.emollients and moisturizes) in the prepa- ration of soap material (e.g. bars and noodles), whilst the soap material has a firm, smooth and homogeneous appear- ance. In testing, the resulting soap bars appeared to be exceptionally mild to the skin. The method comprises the use of a granular material comprising a fluid phase and a particulate material. In an alternative manner, the fluid phase and particulate material may be incorporated into the mix- ture separately. US 2002/0052300 AL PROCESS FOR PREPARING SOAP MATERIAL [0001] ‘The present invention relates to a process for preparing soap material, in particular bars, in which a high level of fluid materials is included, Also, the invention relates to a granular product comprising a particulate carrier ‘material and a functional soap ingredient which isa liquid or pasty material under ambient and/or processing conditions, for application into a sold soap bar. [0002] In general, soap bars (either for personal wash or ‘other purposes) contain a number of functional ingredients, such 2s, for example surface active agents, wetting agents, ‘agents, perfumes, colours, etcetera. Some of these ingredients are solid, others are fluid (Liquids) and stil ‘others are in the form of a pasty material [0003] In the preparation of a soap bar, the final slage is generally pressing the complete mixture of all ingredients into a shape. Prior to this, a mixing operation is needed in ‘order to have all the desired ingredients into the final mixture before pressing it into shape. In general, mixing is effected by subjecting the mixture of ingredients to shear, by using mixing apparatus like double screw extruders, cavity trans- fer mixers andthe like. It is a known problem inthe field of mixing soap ingredients, that mixing can be insufficient it rot enough shear can be imparted 10 the mixture of ingre- denis, resulting in soap bars of unsatisfactory quality and appearance. This is especially the case if one or more soap ingredients are in a liquid or pasty form. It is thought that ‘such liquid or pasty ingredients act as a lubricant, and thus reduce the amount of shear imparted to the mixture, ‘The above problem is also occurring when the producer of soap bars is compounding himself seap noodles (which contain raw soap ingredients, such as fatty aid salts, ree fatty acids, free alkali, polyols, salts, slycerol), with one or more fd for pasty ingredients like water, glycerol, liquid five fatty acids, liquid fatty acid esters, liquid surfactants, dissolved surfactants, mineral oils, silicon oils, emollients, moisturiz~ ers, humectants, perfumes or mixtures thereof, In that case, itis a general problem that not enough shear can be imparted to the mixture of nooalles and additional (fuidpasty) ingee-
