Abstract:
The present invention relates to a bar soap composition that contains zinc pyrithione (ZPT) and a metal-pyridine oxide complex, preferably a zinc-pyridine oxide complex. The bar soap may be characterized by enhanced discoloration resistance, extended shelf life, and/or increased anti-microbial efficacy.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a solid concentrate composition comprising: (a) from 5% to 25% by weight of zinc pyrithione (ZPT); (b) from 8% to 85% by weight of at least one surfactant, preferably, wherein the solid concentrate composition has a penetration hardness of between 20 N and 50 N according to the test method as disclosed herein.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an antimicrobial bar soap that contains zinc pyrithione and a metal-phosphonate complex and is characterized by enhanced discoloration resistance, extended shelf life and/or increased anti-microbial efficacy.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a personal cleansing composition with an antimicrobial effect. The personal cleansing composition is in the form of a bar soap and contains zinc pyrithione and a soap surfactant. When dispersed in an aqueous solution at 1 wt %, the personal cleansing composition of the present invention is characterized by a pH value ranging that is higher than about 9.6 and lower than about 10.3. The present invention also relates to a process for forming an antimicrobial bar soap as described hereinabove.
