Use this formula to produce 10 liters of quality liquid soap; you can actually get up to 13 liters with this formula. I will tell you why later. Make sure you follow each step carefully and put it to practice.
Chemicals Required and Quantity Price
1. Natrosol 1/16 kg N350
2. Caustic Soda 1/16 kg N100
3. Soda Ash 1/4 kg N400
4. STPP 1/8 kg N100
5. Sulphonic 1/2 liters N450
6. Perfume 30ml (use lemon for this production)
7. Colour 1 small wrap N50
8. Formalin (preservative) 20ml N10
Total N1460
Procedure
STEP 1: Pour 1/16kg natrosol to 7 litres of water and stir for 15 minutes.
REMEMBER TO CONTINUE TO STIR THE NATROSOL, IT WILL FORM LUMPS IF YOU LEAVE IT UNSTIRRED TO ATTEND TO OTHER THINGS.
Just keep stirring it intermittently; please take this caution very serious to avoid lumps in your liquid soap.
STEP 2: Mix the caustic soda powder 1/16 kg and 1/4kg soda ash and also 1/8 STPP powder together.
NEXT STEP: soak the mixed powder in 3 litres of water in a separate bowl and stir well for 10 minutes to dissolve.
STEP 3: Get a big bucket and pour your 1/2 liter of sulphonic into it
STEP 4: Add 1½ liters of the mixture of caustic soda, soda ash and STPP in step2 to the natrosol solution and stir well for 15 minutes. You will see it start to thicken up
STEP 5: Pour the remaining 1½ liters of caustic soda, soda ash and STPP solution to the sulphonic in the bucket and stir gently for 2 minutes. You will see the chemical reaction taking place. Sulphonic will be swelling up .
STEP 6: Add the mixed sulphonic into the mixed natrosol and stir it well for 20 minutes to blend well.
STEP 7: You can now mix your color of choice with small water and add it into the solution gradually and stir well.
Watch out so you don’t add too much color, a little quantity once it blends is best.
TIP: Always mix your color in water before adding to your soap, don’t add direct to the soap.
As a beginner I do mix all the powdered ingredients together together in one bowl and set aside, mix all the liquid ingredients, then add 1/2 of the water I want to use and mix very well
Then start adding the powered ingredients gradually and turning like when you are making swallow.
After that, I will add little water to my colour and add
Add my perfume(Flavour),
Then add the remaining water and cover for few minutes for fermentation to take place
Note: You can add extra water if it's too thick
And I do buy extra forming booster too.
Soak your caustic soda in a water and let it dissolve, before adding to the liquid ingredients while mixing
