Abstract
A flowable concentrated soap cleansing composition is provided which includes from 40 to 65% of C12-C18 fatty acid mixture in combined amount of salt and free acid forms, the mixture having C12-C14 chain length present in greater amount than C16-C18 chain length of fatty acid. Further, the composition includes 25 to 50% water, 1 to 15% of a first anti-crystallization agent, and 2 to 15% of a second anti-crystallization agent. The first anti-crystallization agent is sodium lauryl ether sulfate with a weight average ethoxylation of from 0.5 to 2 moles ethylene oxide per mole of sulfate. The second anti-crystallization agent is polypropylene glycol of weight average molecular weight ranging from 195 to 10,000. The composition has a viscosity ranging from 10 to 100 Pa*s at 20° C. as measured after 2 minutes at 10 rpm on a Brookfield Viscometer using Spindle RV 7.
