Abstract: The present invention relates to predominantly (50% or greater) soap bars made from oil or oils of defined iodine value. Unexpectedly, it has been found that, when defined amounts of potassium soap are used, bars made from oils falling within the defined IV range have excellent extrusion rates (as defined by falling within defined hardness values) without exhibiting excessive cracking, while exhibiting wear and mush values associated with lower IV and surprising lather values not expected from bars made from lower IV oils. This is a unique and unexpected simultaneous accumulation of attributes. Further, unexpected perfume performance (e.g., bloom) is also found.
