Soap bar having separate concentrated regions of specifically selected components

A method for making a soap bar composition comprising the steps of:

• a) neutralizing fat in which 75% or greater of chain lengths are C14 or greater in a first stream to produce long chain soap;
• b) neutralizing fat in which 75% or greater of chain lengths are C12 or less in a second and distinct stream to produce short chain soap;
• and
• c) combining and mixing the soaps to make a soap bar composition
• wherein the soap bar composition comprises 75 to 97%, based on total volume of the bar, of a matrix comprising the long chain soap;
• and 3 to 25%, based on total volume of the bar, regions interspersed in said matrix, the regions comprising the short chain soap, and the long chain soap and short chain soap are neutralized with sodium and/or potassium and the soap bar composition has an observable kappa phase with the short chain soap interspersed in the matrix of the long chain soap.
