Abstract
A non-soap cleansing bar is provided which exhibits excellent foaming or lathering characteristics, resistance to cracking on drying, and good textural or "feel" characteristics, which employs a surfactant, filler and waxy binder as essential components. Skin-treatment components, colorants, fragrances and the like may be added as optional components. The bar is produced by a tableting operation that involves melting the waxy binder to obtain excellent wear characteristics and feel.
