Abstract: A method for increasing surface deposition of silicone from soap and improving processing characteristics of soap and a corresponding composition are disclosed. The composition includes a fatty alkyl silicone, a fatty silicate ester, a high viscosity lower alkyl silicone fluid, a silicone surfactant, and an organic surfactant. The organic surfactant is one or more of a nonionic, cationic or anionic surfactant, a fatly ester sulfonate, sorbitan monostearate, and sodium lauryl sulfate.
