Patent ID: 7348299

Claim:
A fibrous cleansing bar comprising: i) a 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 reticulated polyurethane or modified polyurethane; and ii) a solid or semi-solid hydrous lathering composition in which is at least partially distributed the fabricated polymer network, said hydrous lathering composition comprising: a) a foaming surfactant; b) Type 2 perfumes having an octanol/water partition coefficient of at least about 500 and a volatility constant of less than about 20 atmospheres; c) water; d) optionally, a water soluble organic solvent; wherein the water plus the optional water soluble organic solvent comprises at least about 50% of the hydrous lathering composition by weight; 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 hydrous lathering composition to the fabricated polymer network is in the range from about 30 to 1 to about 2000 to 1.
