Claims
- 1. A method for preparing a personal use soap bar composition incorporating an unhydrated cationic quaternized guar gum polymer as a mildness enhancing agent, comprising the steps of forming an alkali metal soap of fatty acids having alkyl chain lengths of from about 8-22 carbon atoms, said soap containing a superfatting agent and a polyhydric alcohol having from 2 or more hydroxyl groups; separately preparing an anhydrous slurry containing a cationic quaternized guar gum polymer having a molecular weight from about 2500 to about 350,000 and a polyethylene or polypropylene glycol linear polymer; thereafter mixing said soap and anhydrous slurry to achieve uniform distribution of said slurry in said soap, and thereafter milling and plodding said soap; said soap comprising from about 60% to about 90% by weight of said composition, said cationic quaternized guar gum polymer comprising from about 0.2% to about 5.0% by weight of said composition, and wherein the amount of polyethylene or polypropylene glycol linear polymer ranges from about 1 part to each 1 part of cationic polymer to about 4 parts to each 1 part of cationic polymer.
- 2. The method of claim 1 wherein said cationic quaternized guar gum polymer has an extent of quaternization of from about 1 to about 1.7 and is a single derivative polymer and wherein said polyhtdric alcohol has from about 3 to about 6 hydorxyl groups.
- 3. The method of claim 1 wherein said cationic quaternized polymer is a double derivatized polymer.
- 4. The method of claim 3 wherein said soap bar is translucent and contains from about 1% to about 8% by weight of glycerin.
- 5. The method of claim 4 wherein said glycerin is present in an amount of from about 4.0% to about 8.0% by weight of said composition.
- 6. The method of claim 5 wherein said slurry contains sufficient polymer and polyglycol ether so that the resulting soap bar contains about 1% by weight of said polymer and from about 1.0% to about 2.0% by weight of said polyglycol ether.
- 7. The method of claim 6 wherein said polyglycol ether is PEG-6 methyl ether.
