A New or Improved Liquid Soap.
I, THOMAS HENRY BATEMAN, of 223 Finchley Road, in the County of Middlesex,
Pharmaceutical Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The invention relates to a new or improved liquid soap and has for its object
to obtain a soap of this character which will possess improved cleansing properties andi
at the same time will be of such a nature that it will not have the unpleasant drying:
effect upon the skin which is inseparable from liquid soaps at present in use whilst at
the same time it will be powerfully aromatic.
In carrying the invention into effect a soft soap is prepared as free as possible from
alkali and about one hundred and twenty parts of this soap are digested in about
thirty parts of a solution composed of spirits of rosemary and lavender oil combined
in the proportion of about twenty parts of spirits of rosemary and about one part of
lavender oil.
The compound prepared in the manner hereinbefore described is then clarified by
filtration, and to the product is added a small percentage of pure glycerine, say for
example about one part of glycerine to ten parts of the compound and after the same-
is thoroughly mixed therewith the preparation is complete and ready for the market.
By the means herein before described a liquid soap is obtained from which are absent
the deleterious properties to be found in similar preparations at present in use, whilst
the cleansing and aromatic qualities thereof are much improved.
