Abstract
Abstract A free flowing bath bead composition comprising relatively minor amounts of allantoin and allantoin proteinate, and a collagen hydrolysate, in combination with a relatively large amount of a water softener. The composition may also include a foaming agent, particularly sodium lauryl sulfoacetate and a finely divided silica.
