iHart:
melt and pour is a different thing altogether. In melt and pour, a pre-manufactured soap base is used. The soap base is melted and some additives are incorporated into it before re-moulding. It is mostly used by small scale soap makers but it doesn't seem economical. There is another similar thing that is done in big companies. They use what is called soap noddles. Soap Noddles are also pre-manufactured soap base. In the case of soap Noddles, they are charged into the amalgamator and some additives like perfume and colour are then added to it before plodding, cutting, stamping and packaging. Following the ban on the importation of oil (i don't know if it has been lifted), many companies went into importation of soap noddles to save cost on production. In the two cases, there is no saponification stage, just finishing and packaging.

Wow! Boss, I hail!

Thank you. When I'm ready to start bar soap production in large scale, I'd reach out to you.

Thanks, always.

olalat:
what type of soap, is it liquidor bar. Is it for washing or bathing. How do I reach out to you. Officially

For now, it's laundry liquid. I'd start bar soap production later.

You can send me a PM from my profile.


Thanks.

edoman2016:
How many days or weeks do you grant your customers to pay their debt after supplying them your products? I really want to learn from you. So you are free to lecture me on it cause bad debts kill business.

Hello,

What works for me may not really work for you. I'm an amateur in this. You could ask our teacher @iHart for clarification.


Regards.

CaptJeffry:
I knew this would follow. Liars

....

edoman2016:
Wow! You have good customers. It's not easy to have customers that pay cash on supply. Most traders like to buy on credit and pay later in Lagos.

This is the trick I use when I sell any product. I tell them that my uncle from Ondo State, has a soap company and I am a marketer and that the soap is my only source of livelihood.

This way, they feel kinda "sorry" and pay up early.

It sometimes help

olalat:
it was after I commented that I checked your profile. You base in Abuja I guess. Where is your base here

Apo but I can supply anywhere.

iHart:
Transparency is something you can achieve using alcohol. To do that you need to be a little bit skillful. You can add alcohol during boiling or crutching. Alcohol is volatile, so timing is very important when you want to add it during boiling because the temperature is usually above the boiling point of the alcohol and thus, it will evaporate without achieving its aim. Likewise when you want to add it during crutching, time and when to add it is also important so as to achieve good result. To achieve the best result, there are certain additives you will need to add prior to using the alcohol. Though they may not cause transparency, they work in a synergistic manner with alcohol to improve transparency. More details about this is not what I will be writing here as they are mostly termed "industrial secret"

Melt and pour?

olalat:
what brand is your soap and your market coverage. Can you supply within Abuja and environs

Yes please, Sir.

Good Morning.

samisj4real:

Money Mistake 1

Never borrow money that accrues interest to start a business (except if you are paying for it through your salary); only borrow to grow your business. This is because business takes a long time to gain ground and begin making profit, yet most loans repayments have to be made within a month of taking the loan or even earlier. Therefore, never borrow money to start a business expecting that the business will generate income to pay back the borrowed money plus the interest.

Money Mistake 2

Never spend money you haven’t received. Don’t even promise someone money based on a promise you have from someone else. If someone tells you: “Ezra, come to my office tomorrow at 9am and pick N3,000″don’t go out to buy items on credit based on this promise, with the hope that you will pay off your creditor when the promised money comes; it may not come as promised and this will leave you in problems with your creditors.

Money Mistakes 3

If you want to save, whenever you receive money, don’t start spending hoping that you’ll save what remains. Normally what remains is zero because as long as money to spend is available, the numerous things you can spend it on are also available. And things to spend on even incite their ‘relatives’ so that you spend even more than you had planned. When money to spend is not available, we naturally find a way of doing without it. That’s why I’ve learnt to save in an INVESTMENT ACCOUNT. Once I send money there I assume I no longer have it. Before you spend any money, put your savings aside then spend what is left after saving.

Money Mistake 4

When you get an opportunity to meet a very wealthy person, never ask for money. Ask for ideas on how to make money. They may even choose to give you money on their own after seeing that your ideas are great, but let getting money from them never be your objective.

Money Mistake 5

Keeping your seed instead of planting it. Many people stop at saving. It’s very, very difficult to save and have all you need to maintain your lifestyle especially after retirement. When you save, your savings are seed; plant it. When you just keep the seed (saving money) some seeds begin to die (eaten by inflation and the like). That’s why I recommend that you read about the different types of investment vehicles you can use to grow your savings. I am not necessarily talking about putting the money in a business, because you can easily lose money in business. I am talking about putting it in an investment.

Money Mistake 6

Never lend someone money you are not willing to lose. By the time you lend someone money, be contented in your heart that should the person fail to pay, you will not die. You should not even lose that person’s friendship if they fail to repay the money you lent them. If you feel the person might fail to pay you and this will not affect your relationship with them, then lend them money. If their failure to pay would make you hate this person’s entire clan, please advise the person to go to the bank.

Money Mistake 7

Never append your signature to guarantee someone on a financial matter if you are not willing or able to pay the money on their behalf. Do I have to explain that one? No, it’s self-explanatory.

Money Mistake 8

Avoid keeping money you don’t intend to use in the short-term within easy reach. For instance, don’t walk with N10,000 in your pocket when all you plan to do in a day costs N2,000. Like I mentioned in Money Mistake 3, there are always expenses available to gobble any money that is within reach, so if you don’t want to lose it, put it away in a safe place.

Money Mistake 9

Avoid keeping money in inappropriate places e.g. in socks, under the pillow, in a pit, in the sitting room, in the bra, in a travel bag that you will place somewhere in a bus … impulse buying is a devil that will keep you busy!

Money Mistake 10

Spending money on an item that you can do without (at least for the time being). These days when I pick money from my pocket or wallet, before paying for something I ask myself: What would happen if I didn’t buy this? If I find I can live with the consequences of not having that thing, I smile and walk away.

Money Mistake 11

Paying an amount for something that’s not the minimum you can get that same value for. In other words, if you are at Spar and you pay N15,000 for a shoe that you can get at N3,000 at Rumuokoro, that’s a money mistake except for those who have achieved financial freedom.

Money Mistake 12

Wanting to be the savior of the world by helping everyone in financial need. My sister, my brother, you are not Angel. If you find it so hard to say no to a financial demand, you may think you are practising generosity when in actual sense you are committing (financial) suicide. We are not learning to be miserable here; we are learning to live within the boundaries of reality.

Money Mistake 13

Consistently spending all you earn or more than you earn. It’s like having a drum where you have an inlet that’s smaller than the outlet. It will never get full. And should the inlet ever reduce significantly the drum will run dry. If you do it the other way round and the inlet is bigger, it will get full and even overflow. Hence, we have to always ensure we are widening the inlet while narrowing the outlet – all the time. Your side hustle comes in handy!

Money Mistake 14

Thinking about short-term only and forgetting about long-term or thinking about the long-term and forgetting about the short-term. For instance, Lydia was told that there’s money in land. She saved money over a long period of time and bought 30 acres of land. Now she has the land but she is always broke. She is always complaining. She’s disgruntled and she doesn’t seem to see herself earning from the land in the near future. Now, let’s ask ourselves: Having 30 acres of land and no money to feed your family or take a child to hospital, is that wealth or poverty? I think Lydia only looked at long-term needs and forgot that she has short-term needs that require money. What of those who find they are one paycheck away from salary? Are they thinking about the long-term needs?Let’s take stock of our finances. How many mistakes are you guilty of?

Do you now feel better-equipped to do better with these tips? Enjoy the journey , savers!

I am learning.

highpriestess:
weren't you the one begging for peanut in one thread like this?
go and fix your life and stop the beggy beggy attitude. poor broke thing.

Madam? You mean me? or the poster? I got mentioned.

iHart:
when i saw your moniker, I was intrigued. I had to follow you and read all your comments and updates here. Don't mind me, I no dey use eye see or use ear hear anything soap

...but do you know that you can actually tweak your recipe to bypass oil blending and still achieve great quality in a cost effective manner?

We have spoken before in the past. Remember? I called you from Warri! You are always so busy! Lol.

Tweak it like use only PKO and NaOH? If that's it, yeah. Coconut Oil has the highest foaming capability but it is pricey. Next best bet is PKO.

I took a break from bar soaps because it is too capital intensive for now. It will always be my one ,true love.

Congratulations Sir. Your girl is proud!

xpressng:
positive vibes.
but I think you value them here and not there. because you can fine tune them play with their balls. be opportunistic on their needs for sex, care and validity.

peace

Faints..Everything isn't about sex or money, bro.

I want to be a fulfilled woman. I look at brands like Coca Cola and Hershey's, I tell myself, I want to get there someday.

I got to try out a soap formulae.

Have a great weekend and God bless.

chidichuddo:
girls or would I say ladies don't respect n value good guys.

take a look at the guys around you now and ask yourself why are currently with the one you are hmmmin

The guys around me are great and responsible gentlemen, they motivate and inspire me. The man I'm with inspires me a lot too..

iHart:
...few tips on what i learnt in soap making:

i. PKO and PO are mostly used in soap making.
ii. PO is bleached before use
iii. PKO and PO are blended to improve quality
iv. Alcohol is used to make soap transparent.
v. Level of caustic, oil, water and other little additives affect soap hardness.
vi. Improving hardness improves transparency.
vii. With SAP value you probably have nothing to do with hydrometer.
viii. Using less material does not necessarily save cost neither does using more material increase profit(except for bulking materials). However more materials improves soap quality and appearance.

Yes Boss! Mixing oils especially pocket friendly ones boost qualities like foaming

Rubbiish:
Engaging a good P.R.O team is paramount for u...
U couldn't even get a dedicated whatsapp number on your profile for a business of this magnitude? u dont know soap biz is big business?
If someone wants to discuss business with u he/she have to pass through the rigours of nairaland private mail? Does that makes sense to u? I wonder if u have sense at all...

Your location states Abuja, i would wish to discuss about this soap business with u...If truly u reside in Abuja lets discuss...
& it is sth that will greatly benefit u...

Listen and listen good. I have had enough insults from you and this will be the end of it. I am in no hurry. It is my brand and I know how much effort I have put into it. This is not a get rich scheme for me, neither am I hoping to strike gold overnight. I have done my SWOT analysis and everything I need. My offline customers are more than the ones I get online.

I have gotten mails and still getting more, asking about how to get my products. There is a limit to the things I will take from you. You can disrespect me but don't even disrespect my hustle.


Take care.

loooool my heart was not broken by a woman.

but by the ills of the society. how wussy men wash their lady's panties and beg to be loved. it breaks my heart each time I see gods worshiping those who were made with one bone. putting an end to their life because of some soft vjay. it breaks my heart each time a woman cheats on a nice guy who gifts her his balls and wallet. it breaks my heart...
peace

It breaks my heart to see a nice woman go through pains and humiliation in the hands of a man. A woman who will go to the ends of the Earth just to make sure her man is happy.
Life is unfair, but it goes on.


Peace.

Rubbiish:
Shut up!
Alpha male got nothing to do with heartbreak....

Lol.....E pain am...Read what your bro wrote up there...That guy got his heart whooped.Hahahahahahaha....


Abeg, I've gotten too distracted this afternoon. I gotta work..


Please, patronize my soap business when you done hating me.

xpressng:
woow TAMED.
now you will take a chill pill and be on the queue like every other lady.

Tam...? What? I don't stay on the queue. I bring my own damn seat and sit on the table. If insults is what makes you think you have tamed me, you are wrong.

I don't just have the time for that. Truth is, I find it unladylike to insult men. At least, I have respect for them.

Please, fall back and take a nap.

Rubbiish:
Nonsense...u women always hate hearing d truth....

Like you men refuse to hear truths! You can't bully me into accepting your "truth". If you want to become an Alpha male by all means do.

Wth? Are you the only peeps that have nursed a heartbreak?.

Do you know what people go through? You won't stop shouting up and down. Do you know what guys have done to some girls?

If you cant take the heat, leave the kitchen.

xpressng:
If your definition of a REAL man is a nice guy. who doesn't know what he wants. or how to act around softwares(women). or the society then you must really be from warri. I was taught to be nice to all until they started taking me for granted and treating me like an option. like I got no will of my own. got heart broken, cheated, raped financially emotionally and otherwise. all because I was nice to a fault.
and some lady who don't even know the diff hair colours, or how to wash her panties is here schooling me on how to be a nice wussbag.
peace

Really? You call me that in the latter part of your post? Okay. You expect me to insult you, I won't.

Yeah, I am from Warri. Proudly from Warri( your perceived "Bowery" Warri). There's no place I'd rather be from.

Thank you!

Found Love?? (that word is abused and useless)

I was made in the image and likeness of a God, so what I'm I?

i can have many flowers but one rose. I don't have to be needy and clingy like the geek you seek. and start texting and calling everyday like my life depends on it. or act wussy....or do everything to please her. or say yes to everything she says. for fvcks sake ain't no nice guy.
peace

Meet real men to groom you. I understand what the challenge is, I don't seek any Geek. Why will I look for a man?

If acting like a decent gentleman makes you call one a wussy, no worries.

I can't bother with someone like you. No peace!

I'm out.

americanson:
you have got to learn to have thiCk skin. I have been here long enough and here is my Advice: when they try to bully you, never shoe signs of weakness. Give it back... In whatever ballistic shape and size. That is how to deal with bullies on nairaland.

95% of the time, they always never say anymore. They let you have peace.

That guy that came to my thread, derailed and insulted me, had me ban doesn't know what he just got into. After spoiling work to seek for ways to settle my own problem, he goes out seeking for funds from investors lol. He just signed his own warrant. I will hunt him down on every thread where he seeking for fund and make his life a living hell. I only gave him a peace of his own shiit few days ago but I am coming out full loaded.

Don't let anybody here bully you here. They always run away with their tails between their legs.

Hi dear, I got quite some mentions so I had to take time to reply some. Thank you for this. Very true. People tend to take one's simplicity for stupidity, not anymore.

Why would someone do something like that? That's really bad of him. I mean the guy that decided to rat on you.

Young? I cancelled last minute. It rained cats and dogs yesterday. We had to reschedule, but not today. I have some articles to work on.

Peace dear!
Have yourself a lovely weekend!
