The present invention relates to personal cleansing bar compositions comprising: A. from about 1 parts to about 70 parts by bar weight of a mild synthetic surfactant selected from the group consisting of sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium topped cocoyl isethionate, essentially saturated C15-C22 alkyl sulfate, essentially saturated C15-C22 alkyl sarcosinate, essentially saturated C15-C22 alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonate, and mixtures thereof; B. from about 0.01 parts to about 1 parts by bar weight of a nonionic polymer; wherein the nonionic polymer is selected from the group consisting of: wherein x is 2; and n has an average value of from about 2,000 to about 115,000 and wherein the pH is from about 4 to about 9. These bar compositions provide enhanced clinical mildness to the skin while maintaining good lathering, increased lather lubricity and lather creaminess. |
