How to produce liquid soap

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* *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 #1460*

*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 step  

2 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 color and add

 Add my perfume(Flavor)

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
