Abstract

The present invention relates to detergent bar compositions comprising a specific ternary system. Specifically the composition comprises (1) about 10% to 70% of a first synthetic anionic surfactant and (2) 1 to 20% of a mixture of surfactants comprising a second anionic different from the first and an amphoteric surfactant, wherein the composition comprises less than 5% soap. In such compositions, the throughput rate of a bar made from processing the compositions through a plodder is higher at a temperature below 100.degree. F. than it is above 100.degree. F., said temperature referring to the temperature reading at just after said bar is extruded through said plodder.
