Definitions
- the present invention relates to a toilet bar suitable for topical application for cleansing the human body, such as the skin and hair.
- a toilet bar composition that is both mild to the skin and which exfoliates the skin.
- Exfoliating toilet bars are well known. However, the majority of them are very irritating to the skin due to the fact that they are soap based, have high levels of harsh or marginally effective exfoliants, low levels of moisturizers, or some combination of the preceding.
- Certain prior art toilet bars wi h high levels of mild synthetic surfactants (“Syndet”) and high levels of moisturizers have been described as optionally having exfoliant particles or beads such as sic polyoxyethylene (polyethylene) beads, walnut shells, and apricot seeds, and the like. See for example US Patent No. 6,376,441; US Patent No. 6,342,470; US Patent No. 6,384,000; and US Patent No. 6,074,998.
- mild toilet bars having one or more syndet surfactants, one or more moisturizers, and exfoliants of a specific particle size range provide the user with enhanced moisturization and exfoliation simultaneously. This causes the user's exfoliated skin to appear fresh and healthy as it removes the dull layer of dead skin, accompanied with deep cleansing leading to less clogged pores, while at the same time moisturizing the skin to minimize irritation and dryness as shown by various art- recognised techniques described below.
- exfoliation improves skin cleansing by helping to mechanically remove dirt and oil from the skin.
- Exfoliation also is believed to aid the process of desquamation.
- Desquamation is a natural process by which corneocytes are removed from the stratum corneum, which is the top layer of skin cells. Corneocytes are simply the cells that comprise the stratum corneum, and they are constantly being removed as the skin regenerates. Exfoliation aids in removing the flaky corneocytes that are ready to detach from the stratum corneum, and so promotes smoother, less flaky skin.
- the inventive bar under actual use conditions is expected to show improvements in skin softness, skin smoothness, and similar consumer perceived benefits such as exfoliation efficiency, mildness, moisturization efficiency, deposition efficiency, cleansing efficiency, and a bar property such as skin abrasiveness, etc. based on changes from the baseline for these measurements using toilet bars without the inventive composition, as quantified using the test methods described below.
