Abstract
Abstract A transparent soap composition, preferably in the form of a bar, which will maintain its transparency and surface gloss after repeated use comprising an admixture of saturated fatty acids and a branched chain C5-C18 saturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acid neutralized with an agent comprising a mixture of an alkaline sodium compound and an alkanolamine, and an alkanolamine. The process of making such compositions comprises mixing the acids, neutralizing agent, and alkanolamine as a hot melt and forming the composition to the shape desired by cooling without further working.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
The soap of claim 3 including a polybasic branched chain saturated acid selected from the group consisting of C36 aliphatic dibasic acids and C54 trimer acids containing alkyl side chains and mixture thereof, substituted for not more than 50 percent by weight of the branched chain C5-C18 saturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
