Abstract

The invention provides a firm, low smear, ultra mild, weakly acidic skin pH cleansing bar comprising by weight of said bar: from about 5% to about 50% of essentially free carboxylic acid, preferably myristic acid, behenic acid, or 12-hydroxy stearic acid; from about 15% to about 65% of a water-soluble organic anionic and/or nonionic bar firmness acid, preferably sodium cocoyl isethionate or sodium lauroyl isethionate; and from about 15% to about 55% water. The skin pH bar can contain little or no soap, yet has a shallow penetration value of from zero up to 12 mm. The bar is a framed bar.
