Abstract

The present invention relates to cast melt bar composition comprising surfactant, fatty acid, generally lower MW polyalkylene glycol and small amounts of water wherein the ratio of total polyol to water is at least 3:1. By using less water and greater variants of polyol, the bars allow larger amounts of generally insoluble materials to be used and also allow retention of bar integrity using limited amounts of soap (important for mildness).
