production of antiseptic soap

Antiseptic soap, sometimes called antibacterial
soap or anti-fungal soap, is regular soap in liquid
or solid form that contains some kind of
ingredient that reduces the chance of infection
when applied to the skin. These products also
have antimicrobial properties, meaning they kill
or inhibit the growth of microbes like bacteria,
virus, or fungi. Alcohol, triclosan , and
tetrasodium EDTA are three antiseptics
commonly used in soap, and they are all
examples of antibacterial antiseptics, meaning
they are proven to be effective against bacteria.
Other antiseptics have anti-viral properties, and
some are anti-fungal and can be used to treat or
prevent fungal infections like athlete's foot,
ringworm, or vaginal yeast infections. Many
antiseptics have a combination of these various
properties. Some essential oils , such as tea tree
oil, contain naturally occurring antiseptics called
terpenes that have antibacterial, anti-fungal, and
antiviral properties. These various kinds of
antiseptic ingredients are also used in soap.
Regular soap also has antiseptic properties by
itself. Pure soap is made using some kind of
animal or vegetable fat that is treated with an
alkaline solution, commonly lye . Soap cleans and
disinfects by making oils dissolve in water,
thereby removing dirt and debris as well as
various microbes present on the skin. Several
scientific studies have shown that hand-washing
using regular soap and water while scrubbing the
hands for 15 seconds removes as many bacteria
and other microorganisms as antiseptic soap
containing triclosan. These tests were done
using commonly available soaps with relatively
low levels of triclosan, so the results might not
apply to products containing more triclosan or to
soaps made with other antiseptic ingredients.
Some scientists and medical professionals are
critical of the increasing use of antiseptic soap
and the addition of antibacterial ingredients to
so many cleaning products. They believe that
this practice might lead to more strains of
bacteria becoming resistant to antibacterial
agents, eventually causing antibiotic medications
to become less effective. This could make it
more difficult to treat serious medical conditions
caused by bacteria, like staph infections and
pneumonia. For example, many microorganisms
are already resistant to triclosan, meaning that
even though it is a proven antibacterial agent, it
may not be as effective as stated by some soap
manufacturers because many strains of bacteria
are immune to it.In my next post I will show you step by step guide on the production of antiseptic soap.

step by step guide on the production of liquid soap

CHEMICALS AND THEIR
FUNCTIONS..(1).Nitrosol:Is a thicken agent..
(2)Water Soluble Colour:To add colour to your
production..(3).Formalin:Is a preservative
agent..(4).Caustic Soda:Is a stain remover..
(5).Soda Ash:It regulates Caustic Soda..
(6).Sulphonic Acid:Is a foaming agent..(7).Perf
ume:Is a fragrance,it give your production nice
scent..CHEMICAL FORMULATION..Please your
soda Ash and Caustic Soda MUST be diluted in
water for 24hrs before usage for effective
result.To balance your caustic soda & Soda Ash
(Measure One unit of your soda Ash into a
container and add 4 units of water,leave for
24hours,the same step is applicable to your
Caustic Soda.You can use anything as your
measurement unit. PROCESS: Measure 50units
of clean water into a clean bucket,add One unit
of Natrosol into the water,Dissolve 1/10 of your
colour in small quantity of water and pour into
the water in the bucket and stir well.Dissolve 1/
10 of Formalin in a small container pour it into
the mix and stir,add two units of balanced
Caustic soda into the mixture and stir well,pour
two units of balanced Soda Ash to the mixture
and stir well,pour 3units of Sulphonic Acid to
the mixture,Dissolve 1/10 of your perfume into
small quantity of water,now pour the perfume
into the mixture.Stir very well.At this stage you
have successfully produce liquid soap.It is
advisable to use lemon fragrance,also note the
steps these chemicals are arranged it is very
important to follow the steps, if you use number 2 for number 5, your production
can lead to
another thing please note.Also get hand
glove,avoid body contant with these
chemical,wash immediatly with water if body
contant occur.The end result will be a liquid soap that cleanses and foams very well. In my next post, I will give you a step by step guide on the production of antiseptic soap.

step by step guide to produce transparent soap

MATERIALS NEEDED: palm kernel oil, caustic soda, water, sugar, glycerin alcohol(vodka) : PROCEDURE: Dissolve 30g of caustic soda in 45g of water and allow it to undergo the fermentation process for 2-3 days.Measure 200g of palm kernel oil(p.k.o) and heat it up to 70 degrees Celsius and ensure that the temperature is not more than 70 degrees Celsius throughout the whole process. Add the fermented caustic soda solution into the oils and allow it to undergo the saponification process by continuously stirring it with a stick blender until the saponification process is complete. Note saponification is the process of making soap. Allow it to stay on the gas cooker or stove for 4-5 minutes for it to undergo the gel stage, when its undergoing the gel stage, heat up 30g of water  and 70g of sugar, mix it very well for it to completely dissolve in the warm water. Test the soap with litmus paper to see if its neautral(pH of 9-10.5 is fine) then add 40g of glycerin to the soap mass in order to make it soft, followed by the addition of the sugar solution which will make it partially transparent, then add 80g of alcohols(vodka) because vodka contains about 95% of alcohol and 5% of water which is a strong alcohol that will give a high degree of transparency,and close the pot, ensure that the cover is air tight  by covering it with a towel to prevent the escape of alcohol from the pot, allow it to stay on the stove for 5minutes and add fragrance and colour of your choice if you like, then remove it from the source of heat. A clear transparent soap that forms thick lather and exceptionally mild to the skin will be formed . On my next post, i will show you step by step guide on how to produce liquid soap

how to make a transparent soap

A transparent soap is a soap that one can see through, like a glass of cup or a window glass. It is exceptionally beautiful to behold and very mild to the skin. They are clear to the eyes because of the nature of the oils used with the addition of ethanol(alcohol) and sugar. Transparent soap is very mild to the skin because of the presence of glycerin. It cleanses better than ordinary toilet soaps because of the ethanol( alcohol) used in making it, they are very beautiful due to their transparency and their colours. The sizes and colours depends on the manufacturer s. They are so attractive to the eyes because of their transparency, colour andf fragrance. On my next post, I will show you a step by step guide on how to produce a mild and clear transparent soap even right from your home. Transparent soap making is a booming business and the need for it is increasing daily.
