This are the major chemicals used for making liquid soap and their purpose
CHEMICALS FR LIQUID SOAP
Water:
Water is the main solvent needed for the process to dissolve the various ingredients and also during fermentation phase. It is very essential in the production of liquid soap.
Nitrosol/Antisol:
Nitrosol
This serves as a thickener in the production of the liquid soap. It comes as a whitish substance and has the texture of a powdered milk. Nitrosol will dissolve immediately in water, but Antisol takes longer time to dissolve in water.
Caustic Soda:
Caustic Soda
It is whitish crystalline substances that looks much like a sample of granulated sugar. It forms a strong base when dissolved in water and can be corrosive if in contact with the skin. It is an essential ingredient in the soap making process. This is the stain or dirt removing agent in the liquid soap.
Soda Ash (Sodium carbonate):
Soda Ash
This is also a whitish substance but with much coarse grains, it serves to regulate the concentration of the Caustic Soda which ordinarily is corrosive to the skin. It helps to neutralize it.
SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate):
SLS
The SLS looks like rice grains and it’s whitish in colour too. It is a surfactant which helps to lower the surface tension of the aqueous solution. It is the main active foaming agent.
Texapon:
Texapon
The Taxapon is a pasty and jellylike substance, it also functions as a foaming agent and serves as foaming booster too. Many liquid soap producers don’t use Texapon and SLS together in same production; reason because both perform almost same function. They go with just one.
Sulphonic Acid:
Sulphonic Acid
This is a dark looking liquid substance. It serves to boost the performance of the SLS, it is also a foaming and cleaning agent. Please the word spells S-U-L-P-H-O-N-I-C and not S-U-L-P-H-U-R-I-C. The latter is very strong acid and can be very corrosive. please beware.
STPP (Sodium Tripolyphosphate):
STPP
STPP is a sodium salt of triphosphoric acid. It has the appearance of white crystal powder and looks very much like a table salt. It is a strong cleaning agent too and helps the SLS to work on its full potential.
Forming Booster:
Foaming booster
This also comes in liquid form and has transparent looks. As the name implies, it makes the liquid soap to foam very well.
Formalin:
The preservative agent. It should be used if the soap is to be stored for a long time like six months, especially if one is producing for commercial purposes. Please you can do without this chemical. It is very harmful if abused, it can cause CANCER.
Colour:
This normally comes as a powder and should be diluted with water before adding to the soap mixture. The colour adds beauty to the finished product. Most producers go with green colour.
Glycerine:
Usually helps your skin to remain hydrated and soft after using the soap.
Perfume:
This gives your soap a sweet fragrance. Most people prefer the lemon, pineapple, ambipur. lavender or strawberry fragrance in their production.
Vitamin E:
Offers a great deal of protection to the skin. E.g from damage, wrinkles etc.
