- 19.00% fatty acid component which is comprised of 5.32% stearic acid, 5.13% palmitic acid, 2.95% myristic acid, 2.84% oleic acid and 2.76% lauric acid;
- 12.33% triethanolamine lauryl sulfate;
- 7.84% sucrose;
- 7.65% sodium hydroxide (50% aqueous solution);
- 3.80% sodium cocyl isethionate;
- 0.77% citric acid;
- 0.71% sodium chloride;
- 0.66% liquid alkoxylated cetyl alcohol;
- 0.14% tetrasodium EDTA;
- 0.05% pentasodium pentatate;
- 0.05% tetrasodium etidronate; and
- q.s. water.
- 2. A transparent soap bar which comprises:
- about 98.00% of the formulation of claim 1;
- about 1.75% of fragrance; and
- about 0.25% of color tint.
- 3. A method for manufacturing a transparent soap bar comprising the following steps:
- mixing a composite of polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerin, triethanolamine lauryl sulfate, akloxylated cetyl alcohol and tetrasodium EDTA, while heating, until a temperature range between about 150.degree. F. to 155.degree. F. is attained;
- adding an aqueous sodium chloride solution and agitating while applying heat until the temperature range between about 150.degree. F. to 155.degree. F. is re-achieved;
- adding a blend of stearic acid, palmitic acid, myristic acid, oleic acid and lauric acid, and mixing the resulting batch while raising the temperature to a range between about 160.degree. F. to 165.degree. F.;
- neutralizing the batch by slowly adding a 50% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide over at least a 15 minute period while ensuring the temperature does not exceed about 195.degree. F.;
- maintaining the temperature between about 175.degree. F. to 195.degree. F. for at least thirty minutes and until all solids are dissolved;
- adding sucrose to the batch and mixing until the sucrose is solubilized;
- slowly adding sodium cocoyl isethionate and vigorously agitating over at least a 15 minute period until all solids are dissolved, while maintaining a temperature range between about 175.degree. F. to 190.degree. F.;
- while maintaining agitation, cooling the batch to a temperature range between about 160.degree. F. to 165.degree. F., and adding to the cooled batch, pentasodium pentatate and tetrasodium etidronate;
- adjusting batch pH with citric acid to a range between pH 8.9 to 9.6 while maintaining agitation and a batch temperature range between about 160.degree. F. to 165.degree. F.;
- cooling the pH adjusted batch to a temperature range between about 150.degree. F. to 155.degree. F. and slowly adding fragrance and color while gently agitating the cooled batch; and
- pouring the resulting product into molds and allowing solidification.
