A bar composition comprising about 50-80% soap, about 4 to 35% by wt. free fatty acid and less than about 4% synthetic surfactant. Addition of 1% to 10% organic salt has been found to allow use of little or no surfactant while maintaining consumer desirable properties.

Soap bars with little or no synthetic surfactant comprising organic salts

The present invention is directed to mixed fatty acid soap based bar compositions, which may include synthetic surfactants as co-actives, wherein relatively small amounts of specified polyoxyethylene-polypropylene nonionic polymer has been found to enhance mildness and reduced mush of bar compositions without sacrificing the user properties and processability of the formulations.
