A low water content cleansing composition in toilet bar form is described which includes high levels of emollients having a melting point below 25 DEG C, 12-hydroxystearic acid as a structuring agent, and at least one detersive surfactant. Useful emollients that are liquid at room temperature may include triglycerides, petroleum oil, polyhydric alcohols and silicone oil, and are present in a concentration range of 5 to 60 wt. %.
