Method for preparing bars comprising use of separate bar adjuvant compositions comprising benefit agent and deposition polymer

A two-step method for preparing a detergent bar composition having enhanced deposition of a benefit agent which method comprises:

• (1) preparing a dried adjuvant composition by mixing component (a), (b) and (c) below and from about 9% to about 66% by wt. water to form a uniform aqueous mixture comprising benefit agents having a particle size of from about 0.1 .mu.m to about 100 .mu.m, and subsequently drying said aqueous mixture to prepare said dried adjuvant;
• wherein said dried adjuvant composition comprises, by wt. of said dried adjuvant composition;
• (a) 20% to 96% benefit agent;
• (b) 2 to 40% cationic deposition polymer;
• (c) 0 to 78% water soluble or water dispersible filler;
• and
• (d) 0 to 15% water;
• and
• (2) thereafter mixing said dried adjuvant composition with a separately prepared base bar chip composition comprising a surfactant system to form a bar composition comprising:
• (I) 5 to 50% by wt. of said dried adjuvant chip composition;
• and
• (II) 50 to 95% by wt. of base bar chip composition;
• wherein said benefit agent (1)(a) is selected from the group consisting of:
• silicone oils, silicone gums and modifications thereof;
• fats and oils;
• waxes;
• hydrophobic plant extracts;
• hydrocarbons;
• fatty acids;
• alcohols;
• esters;
• essential oils;
• lipids;
• vitamins;
• sunscreens;
• and mixtures of any of the foregoing components.
