Formulation view This bar soap consists of sodium laurate, linoleate, oleate, and palmitate, with kaolin for oil absorption. Glycerin is retained for moisture, and sodium chloride solidifies the bar. Chelants like EDTA and etidronic acid prevent metal-catalyzed oxidation. Pigments include titanium dioxide. Suited for routine cleansing; the formulator balances cleansing power and feel by blending multiple fatty acid salts to avoid the high alkalinity irritation of single-base soaps.
