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: The present invention relates to a mild, lathering personal cleansing soap bar composition by weight of the bar comprising: from 30 to 85 parts of tailored fatty acid soap, from 0 parts to 30 parts lathering synthetic detergent/surfactant, and from 5 to 35 parts of water. The tailored fatty acid soap comprises:I. from 50% to 85% is saturated fatty acid soap selected from the group consisting of: myristic, palmitic, and stearic acid soaps and mixtures thereof; andII. from 15% to 50% is mixture of oleic (C18:1) and lauric acid (C12) soaps; including from 0 to 10% minor fatty acid soaps selected from the group consisting of: C8, C10, C18:2; and mixtures thereof;wherein said tailored fatty acid soap is a mixture of 65% to about 95% sodium soap and from 5% to about 35% magnesium soap.
