In an apparatus and process for manufacturing a detergent bar, the bar
comprises a first distinct zone comprising a first component and at least
a second distinct zone comprising a second component. In an injection
step, the first and second components are injected into the mold cavity
via nozzle means having a first orifice through which the first component
is injected. The second component is injected through a second orifice of
the nozzle means. The first and second components solidify in the cavity
to form the bar. The interface between the zones may be non-planar and/or
such that the zones cannot be separated by a unidirectional cut. The
first and second zones may respectively comprise detergent and a benefit
agent. The first and second zones may differ in texture.
