Abstract:
1. A darkly colored fibrous bar comprising: i) a continuous fabricated polymer network having a porosity greater than about 0.95 selected from the group consisting of a 3 dimensional bat of a pleated woven or non-woven textile and a reticulated polyurethane or modified polyurethane; ii) a solid or semi-solid lathering composition at least partially encompassing the continuous fabricated polymer network; wherein the continuous fabricated polymer network has a substantially red color defined by having CIE chromaticity values, L*, a*, b* of a* greater than about +30, L* less than about 60 and the ratio of a* to the absolute value of b* greater than about 1.5 to 1; wherein the solid or semi-solid lathering composition is either transparent or has a substantially red color defined by having CIE chromaticity values, L*, a*, b* of a* greater than about +30, L* less than about 60 and the ratio of a* to the absolute vale of b* greater than about 1.5 to 1; wherein the fabricated polymer network is at least partially distributed in the solid or semi-solid lathering composition occupying at least about 75% of the volume of said lathering composition and; wherein the weight ratio of the lathering composition to the fabricated polymer network is in the range from about 30 to 1 to about 2000 to 1.
