Abstract: There is provided a mild detergent toilet bar (syndet bar) composition containing from at least 25 percent up to about 65 percent by weight of synthetic surface active agents, which lathers, foams and wears well, exhibits minimal slushing and curd-forming properties in all types of water, possesses good plasticity and tactile properties while also being mild and non-injurious to the user's skin and readily processed with conventional soap-making equipment. The syndet bar compositions containa) from about 15 to 35 percent by weight of acyl esters of isethionic acid salts;b) at least one sulfosuccinate in an amount from about 10 to about 30 percent by weight wherein the weight ratio of said acyl isethionate esters to sulfosuccinate is 0.

Abstract: A machinable translucent combo bar comprising a fatty acid soap, a water soluble synthetic organic detergent and a translucency enhancing amount of a lower alkanol mono-amine for a fatty acid.

Abstract: A transparent soap bar containing soap and a water soluble synthetic detergent comprising:(a) a water soluble organic solvent, about 0 to 10%;(b) a sugar, about 0 to 10%;(c) an alkyl-aryl polyoxyalkylene carboxylic acid of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is an aryl, alkyl-aryl or alkyl radical, R.sub.1 through R.sub.6 are each hydrogen or a lower alkyl radical and may be the same or different, m is 1 to 3 and n is 1 to 9, about 1% to 10%;(d) a benzoic acid ester of a primary alcohol or alkoxylate of a primary alcohol, said alcohol of C.sub.9 to C.sub.18 carbon chain length, about 0 to 5%;(e) the water soluble synthetic organic detergent, up to about 15%;(f) a neat soap, about 0 to 60%;(g) a fatty acid, about 1% to about 25%;(h) a saponifying or neutralizing agent for the fatty acid, about 3% to about 35%;(i) ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid, about 0 to 2%; and(j) water, about 0 to 25%.

Abstract: A surfactant composition comprising an aqueous solution of an alkali metal salt of a fatty acyloxy alkane sulfonate and a polyol; a cleansing combination of this surfactant composition and neat soap and the processes of preparing both the surfactant composition and the cleansing combination thereof.
