Good evening Oga strong best, what is filler sir, can I get it in chemical store?

Strongbest:




Good evening ma'am, fillers are the ingredients we add to our products to harden, boost and to increase the overall quality and quantity of the products like in the case of bar soaps.

Sure, you can get them at the chemical stores but you must know the specific filler you want by name..... Hope that is clear enough though.


Thanks

About NAFDAC

I would like to make this post very short so, I will go straight to the point. I believe everyone here knows what NAFDAC means and what they do. Seriously, they are not some kind of masquerade or monster as some people think.

I believe after this post, so many questions would have been answered.

To be continued..............

Thanks.

my oga! Ur boy is always loyal sir, pls u got to help me out here, wen adding lye solution to d pko slowly wit vigorous stirring i notice that before i even finish adding d require lye it has reach a trace already, making d soap very thick that i had to patch it into d mould. Pls wat cud possibly b d cause of d early trace? Tnx man n remain blessed.

Strongbest:



Good evening Sir! I understand what you mean. It's nothing unusual or something to worry about. Once you pour soda ash it'll always maintain the right texture. Hope it's not only caustic soda you use in your production though.

One possible cause is the state of the oil. If it's not warmed up it could lead to an early trace. Mind you, that thickness does not really signify a trace. It's a false trace.

Uhmmm, to keep things brief, trace is when the oil and caustic have mixed properly together such that there no room for separation and this is the most important thing to take note of irrespective of when the trace shows up.

Thank.

Gidson05:
God bless u sir! Dos it mean after it has thicken to dat level if i continue stirring it will still give that light condense milk density?

Strongbest:




Amen Sir! Well, to answer your question properly you may need to let me know if you use only caustic soda solution and fatty acid (oil).


Thanks.

Gidson05:
i used caustic soda, soda ash and pko

Shininstar30:
Goodmorn Oga strong best, pls I get excess water after d production of my bar soap. What could b d cause, I don't know were I got it wrong.

Strongbest:




Alright Sir, once you pour the caustic soda solution into the oil and stir a little while just before the mixture start getting too thick, add your soda ash solution and continue to stir till you reach real trace. You will notice that once the soda ash solution is added the mixture becomes thinner.


In all, to avoid the early (false) trace, make sure you warm up your oil properly (don't fry please, just warm it up). Sometimes, even just by stirring the oil vigorously for sometimes without applying heat at all, it helps in warming up the oil and ready for use.

Thanks.

good evening sir,nice post,pls am a soap maker but marketing my product as a beginner has been my problem,pls how can I market my liquid soap so as to make profit. Thanks sir

Strongbest:



My pleasure Sir, please do and let me know how it goes.

Thanks

Strongbest:



It's great having you here Sir.

In response to your question Sir, it's all about concepts. I remember giving some tips on how to market our products some where here on this thread.

One thing I always tell people is, packaging matters a lot. Also, knowing where to market your products counts.

In all, look at what you have around, I mean the kind of liquid soap in vogue in your area or anywhere you wish to market your product. Do something different in term of packaging, and something more enticing and even cheaper but with a good quality.

For example, if the common liquid soap around you is green or blue in color, go for PINK, add a very nice fragrance, your labels should be matured and captivating. That's the secret. You may check images posted by some great guys on this thread, guess you'll get a clue somehow from them.

Above all, quality matters a lot.


Thanks.
