@rayval -if u want your liquid soap to be foamy, u increase your SLS and also add foam booster .. d soap will be luxuriously foamy.
U can get d foam boaster @ ojota chemical MKT, it is in liquid foam,a litre of it is N600.for d qty of wat u just produced, u don't need more than 1/4 liter if it...
For d preservative - pls stay away from formalin, its proven beyond doubt DAT its usage can lead to cancer (ask experts or Google it.
U can use citric acid or soibact instead - I've been using citric acid for mine

Strongbest:




Heyllo Sir, that was a very brilliant move. You may increase the SLS to 3 spoons next time and the texapon to 2 spoons(very full). The other ingredients seem to be very okay but the sodium benzoate, why? Sodium benzoate is a preservative best used in preservation of food, some other products like toothpaste etc, but in liquid soap, it doesn't really go down too well for me. You may use formalin as preservative next time.

All the same, if benzoate does it for you then, it's okay.

For the ph of soap, you test for caustic soda which is usually 14 and above, so when you have something like 7-11 it is very okay.
Thanks...God bless#

Heyllo sir, you see I can really be very quiet about some issues especially where I'm not needed. I allow people to experiment on their own.

Anyone who is a true follower of this thread should have seen where I talked about formalin and advise against its use.

Google is so helpful and can provide us with a lot of information but just before you jump into conclusion, you have to be sure you've known the practical application of your findings.


Talking about citric acid as a preservative, I can tell you it's not really a preservative in the real sense rather an enhancer.

Whatever you want to use, just be sure you know its reaction with other chemicals on which is to be used.

Things are designed for a purpose, your multi purpose liquid soap isn't exactly the same as your liquid bath soap.

I don't have enough energy to preach or write plenty stories this morning. My plea is, make sure you know how things really work before jumping into conclusion.

Lastly, oga this one that you are spying on me hope I'm safe o.


Thanks.

Na waooo** Unilever just entered the dish washing biz..Sunlight#

Pls Mr Strongbest** i noticed that the normal popular dish liquid soaps mama lemon nd morning fresh are synthesised soaps because of the absence of NaOH nd S.Ash...what i want to knw is if it is a rule or one of the requirement that your dish soap must be caustic soda free before you can get the Nafdac nd Son certification..nd some people have conclusively differentiated them**as detergent (without lye) and soap (with lye)......advice me/us on this***and d paremeters we should watch out for before going close to places like Nafdac and co....Thanks sir
