It is to be realized that in certain of the other constituents, a minor amount of water may be present and may thus be supplied to a bar soap composition from which a bar soap is made; such sources of water may be considered to be "added water" as defined herein.
- the inventors have surprisingly found that the formulation of the invention displays a sufficient structural integrity even at such high water content: higher than is normally present in such a soap bar.
- bar soap compositions described above may be formed into bar soaps according to conventional production methods known to the art.
- the bar soaps are made by a process which involved both the intensive mixing or working of the soap mass while it is in a semi-solid plastic state and its forming into a cohesive mass by the process of extrusion.
- the intensive mixing can be accomplished by one or more unit operations known in the art which can include roller milling, refining, and single or multistage extrusion.
- Such processes work the bar soap composition preferably at a temperature of between about 20°C and about 70°C to form a homogeneous network of insoluble materials in a viscous liquid and/or liquid crystalline phase containing the lower melting, more soluble surfactants (e.g., soaps and other water soluble/dispersible materials).
- the extruded mass must be thermoplastic within the process temperature of extrusion which is generally between about 20° C and about 60° C, Thus, the bar soap composition must soften within this process temperature window but remain highly viscous, i.e., not softer excessively to form a sticky mass. The material must regain its structure and harden quickly as the temperature is lowered below its softening point.
- the softened mass although pliable must be sufficiently viscous so that it does not stick to the surfaces of the extruder in order to be capable of conveyance by the extruder screws but not bend excessively when exiting the extruder as a billet. However, if the mass is too viscous it will not be capable of extrusion at reasonable rates.
- the extruded mass of the bar soap compositions may be formed by cutting the extrudate into a final form of a bar soap having defined geometry.
- the extruded mass may be further optionally formed into a formed bar soap, such as by stamping or compressing a cut mass of the bar soap composition into a formed three-dimensional shape having a defined geometry.
- bar soaps of the invention may be made.
- Such extruded bar soaps have physical-chemical properties and an internal structure which are different from soaps that are made by a melt-cast process wherein a bar composition is first melted and liquefied in order to form a liquid phase which is then poured into moulds to solidify by quiescent cooling, after which the cooled "cast” bars may be removed and used.
- the bar soaps formed form the bar soap compositions are rigid, self-supporting articles having a hardness as measured using a Humboldt Model H-1240 electric
- a single reading, or an average of a plurality of needle penetration readings may be used in this evaluation.
- the bar soap compositions of the present invention are found to be sufficiently durable for use in forming bar soaps therefrom by conventional processes, even though preferred bar soaps comprise in their soap constituent a high weight percentage of Ce - C1 ⁇ 2, and in particular Ci 2 fatty acid soaps of potassium as such lower alkyl distributions in a soap constituent are frequently considered as being too soft for use in a product which is formed into a rigid, three- dimensional tablet or cake, viz., a bar soap, and which also exhibits a useful service life after repeated wettings with water.
- the bar soaps of the present invention are sufficiently hard and provide a satisfactory service life in their product format. Subsequently the bar soaps may be packaged for sale as vendible products, e.g., overwrapped in a coated paper wrapper, packaged in a box, or even sold without any additional packaging.
- the bar soaps are used in a conventional manner for personal washing of an mammalian body, e.g., human body and are advantageously used in personal washing, particularly of the epidermis, and hair.
- the bar soap When used in a conventional washing process, typically the bar soap is wetted with water, and then contacted with one or more parts of the body, e.g., the epidermis, and hair.
- a quantity of the bar soap composition is thus eluted into the water and forms a washing composition which provides a useful cleaning and/or microbicidal benefit to the contacted parts of the body.
- the washing composition when entraining air, may form a lather which is also useful in providing a useful cleaning and/or microbicidal benefit to the contacted parts of the body.
- the washing composition is typically washed or rinsed off the treated parts of the body, e.g., epidermis, hair, with an additional amount of water.
- the bar soaps of the invention are used in a conventional manner, they are used, as well as intended to be used, by contacting a bar soap with a quantity of water, which can be flowing water such as from a faucet, or can be a body (or aliquot) of water such as in a sink, or wash basin.
- a bar soap can be flowing water such as from a faucet, or can be a body (or aliquot) of water such as in a sink, or wash basin.
- Such contact between the soap bar and the water causes the dissolution or dispersion of the constituents of the bar soap into the water, viz., and "elution".
- This elution provides an effective antimicrobial benefit to a topical surface, particularly to the epidermis of a person or animal.
- elutions formed from the partial dissolution of a bar soap composition or bar soap in water which form aqueous dilutions of the bar soaps at concentrations of from 10 - 20 %w/v, (particularly preferably about 10%w/v) exhibit a pH in the range of at least about 9 more preferably a pH in the range of from about 9 - 10, more preferably from about 9.2 - 9.7, with particularly preferred pH values being identified with reference to one or more of the Examples.

- the arithmetic mean is used when only one dilution has colonies in the range 15 - 300 CFU/mL and duplicate plating is used. Divide the mean of the two numbers by two.
- the log value of this is ⁇ 2.18. As no actual organisms were recovered, insert a ">" symbol before the calculated Microbial Effect (ME) value.
- microbiocidal effect (ME) due to the action of the test sample over the test contact time at the temperature at which the test was performed is expressed by the formula:
- Nc number of CFU/mL of the in test culture count (1 : 10 of the initial suspension population control result)
- Nd number of the CFU/mL of the sample count Calculate to 2 decimal places.

- Microorganisms Escherichia coli ATCC 10536, Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 12228) were grown overnight in an enriched nutrient broth and sampled to determine the bacterial number. They were added to the test solutions, mixed using a vortex mixer and incubated at room temperature.
- Samples were removed at various fixed time intervals and diluted into D/E Neutralization broth (Difco, Detroit, MI, USA). The treated samples were then spiral plated onto solid media and incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. Colony-forming units were then counted and normalized as log cfu/ml. Activity was calculated as the difference between initial counts versus final counts at that time interval.

- Stratum corneum has a brick and mortar like structure of dead cells where the bricks correspond to keratin and the mortar to lipids.
- a surfactant interacts with the skin, it dissolves the keratin in the SC thus damaging the outer protective layer of the skin (Ananthapadmanabhan KP, Cleansing without compromise: the impact of cleansers on the skin barrier and the technology of mild cleansing, 2004).
- the skin starts losing more moisture than normal due to the damage in the protective upper layer of SC.
- this level reaches below 10 % water content, the skin becomes dry, scaly and itchy (see Lukacovic above). So, when a surfactant damages the layers of SC, it increases water loss leading to dry skin.
- Figure 2 shows how the surfactant interacts at the active sites of the protein resulting in denaturation and unfolding of it. Since keratin is insoluble in water, the amount of protein solublized in the presence of a surfactant solution can be directly correlated with the harshness of that surfactant - more the dissolution of keratin from the skin, the harsher is the surfactant. However, keratin is not readily available for experimentation and zein is a cheap and suitable alternative.
- a 1 % solution of the formulation was made in distilled water. If it was not possible to operate at 1 % for any reason, a lower concentration was chosen for experimentation. Then, a 100 ml of this solution was taken for evaluating Zein solubility. This was done in triplicates. The rest was used as a blank for the experiment. The solution was kept under stirring at 250 rpm. Two grams of Zein was added to the solution and the stopwatch was set off simultaneously. The mixture was left on stirring for 10 minutes after which the solution was left undisturbed for one minute. After the un- dissolved Zein settled, a sample was extracted from the solution avoiding the top and the bottom layers using a syringe.
- Option 2 Let the pH be what it tends to be naturally in the surfactant solution for comparison. This will be a function of the formulation used.
- Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Assay was used to assess the potential ocular irritancy of the test articles to isolated bovine corneas.
- Bovine corneas obtained as a byproduct from freshly slaughtered animals, were mounted in special holders and exposed to the test articles. An in vitro score was determined for each test article based on the induction of opacity and permeability (to fluorescein) in the isolated bovine corneas.
- the purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential ocular irritancy of the test articles, as measured by changes in opacity and permeability (to fluorescein) in isolated bovine corneas.
- Bovine eyes were obtained from freshly slaughtered animals (J.W. TREUTH & SONS, Inc., Baltimore, MD). The eyes were excised and then placed in Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution, containing penicillin/streptomycin (HBSS), and transported to the laboratory on ice packs.
- HBSS penicillin/streptomycin
- EMEM Minimum Essential Medium
- Complete MEM 1% fetal bovine serum
- 2 mM L-glutamine Complete MEM (without phenol red)
- the positive control used in this study was ethanol (Pharmco).
- the negative control used in this study was sterile, deionized water (Quality Biological).
- test article was administered to the test system as a 10% (w/v) (100 mg/mL) dilution in sterile, deionized water.
- Each test article dilution was prepared by weighing the test article into a prelabeled conical tube. Sterile, deionized water was added until a 10% (w/v) dilution was achieved, the conical tube was vortexed for approximately 2 minutes, and then the conical tube was placed on a plate shaker for -23 hours at room temperature. After shaking overnight, each dilution was centrifuged at 100 x g for 1 minute at room temperature to separate the foam bubbles from the dilution. Each dilution was dosed onto the corneas within 15 minutes of removal from the plate shaker. For the remainder of this report, each test article dilution is referred to as the test article.
- each test article was determined using pH paper (EMD Millipore Corporation). Initially, each test article was added to 0-14 pH paper with 1.0 pH unit increments to approximate a narrow pH range. Next, each test article was added to 7.5-14 pH paper with 0.5 pH unit increments. The pH values obtained from the narrower range pH paper are presented in Table 1.
- the corneas were removed from the incubator.
- the medium was removed from both chambers and replaced with fresh Complete MEM (without phenol red).
- the initial opacity was determined for each cornea using an Electro Design OP-KIT opacitometer.
- the treatment of each cornea was identified with the test article number written in permanent marker on colored tape, affixed to each holder.
- the medium was then removed from the anterior chamber and replaced with the test article, positive control, or negative control.
- test articles were tested as 10% (w/v) dilutions in sterile, deionized water.
- An aliquot of 750 ⁇ of the test article, positive control, or negative control was introduced into the anterior chamber while slightly rotating the holder to ensure uniform distribution over the cornea.
- the test articles were administered to the corneas by open chamber technique.
- the glass window was removed from the anterior chamber immediately prior to treatment, and then the test articles were administered by direct addition onto the epithelial surface of the cornea using a positive displacement pipet. Each cornea was completely covered with test article. After dosing, the glass window was replaced on the anterior chamber.
- Three corneas were incubated in the presence of the positive control at 32 ⁇ 1°C for 10 minutes.
- the glass window was removed from the anterior chamber and the test article was rinsed from the treated cornea and the anterior chamber with Complete MEM (with phenol red). Care was taken not to spray the corneas directly.
- the chamber windows were returned to the chambers when most or all of the test article had been removed.
- the rinsing process continued in the same manner as the positive and negative control-treated corneas.
- the corneas were then given a final rinse with Complete MEM (without phenol red).
- the anterior chambers were refilled with fresh Complete MEM (without phenol red) and an opacity measurement was performed.
- the corneas were returned to the incubator for approximately 2 hours after which a final measure of opacity was obtained.
- the medium was removed from both chambers of the holder.
- the posterior chamber was filled with fresh Complete MEM (without phenol red) and 1 mL of a 4 mg/mL fluorescein solution was added to the anterior chamber.
- the corneas were then incubated in a horizontal position (anterior side up) for approximately 90 minutes at 32 ⁇ 1°C.
- the medium was removed from the posterior chambers and placed into tubes numbered with corresponding chamber numbers. Aliquots of 360 ⁇ from the numbered tubes were placed into their designated wells on a 96-well plate.
- the optical density at 490 nm (OD490) was determined using a Molecular Devices Vmax kinetic microplate reader. The plate reading was saved to a designated print file.
- Opacity Measurement The change in opacity for each cornea (including the negative control corneas) was calculated by subtracting the initial opacity reading from the final opacity reading. These values were then corrected by subtracting from each the average change in opacity observed for the negative control corneas. The mean opacity value of each treatment group was calculated by averaging the corrected opacity values of each cornea for that treatment condition. Permeability Measurement: The mean OD490 value for the blank wells was calculated. The mean blank OD490 value was then subtracted from the raw OD490 value of each well (corrected OD490). The final corrected OD490 values of the test articles and the positive control were then calculated by subtracting the average corrected OD490 value of the negative control corneas from the corrected OD490 value of each treated cornea:
- the mean OD490 value of each treatment group was calculated by averaging the final corrected OD490 values of the treated corneas for that treatment condition.
- the BCOP assay was accepted when the positive control (ethanol) caused an in vitro score that fell within two standard deviations of the historical mean. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
- Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Assay Table 1 summarizes the opacity, permeability, and in vitro score for the test articles and the positive control. Since the results of the positive control fell within two standard deviations of the historical mean (within a range of 39.1 to 63.7), the assay was considered valid.
- a post-exposure (PE) opacity reading was performed immediately after rinsing and then a final opacity reading was performed after the 2 hour post-exposure incubation period.
- the PE reading was performed to capture immediate effects of the test article to the cornea (e.g. cloudiness of the cornea). Only the final opacity value was used to determine the change in opacity for data calculations (determination of In Vitro Irritation Score).
- Certain types of products e.g. those which contain surfactants may show immediate increases in opacity (as determined at the PE reading), and then result in a lower opacity value at the final opacity determination.
