Measurement for 20 to 30 litres depending on how thick you want your soap.
(Don’t allow the measurement to confuse you, you can tell the chemical people to give you the measurement for 20 litres)

Caustic Soda…………………..……62g
Soda Ash (Sodium carbonate)1/8 Kg
SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate)1/8kg
Sulphonic Acid………………..……..1litre
STPP……………………………….… 1/16Kg
Texapon ………………………….…1/8kg
Foam Booster………………………200ml
Formalin………………………………10cl
Colour
Perfume
PROCEDURE
Ferment the Caustic Soda before production process by dissolving with 1 litre of water and allowing for 24 hours or overnight.
Personally I don’t leave mine overnight, I leave it for just an hour and continue my production.
Dissolve the Soda Ash separately with another one litre of water and set aside.
Dissolve the Nitrosol with 10 litres of water in a bigger mixing bowl just before production. Note: this should be properly dissolved and will look like ‘starchy solution’ at the end.
Dissolve the SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate) in 1 litre of water to produce a clear solution before production; keep it aside. This should be done at least one hour before production.
Dissolve the STPP (Sodium Tripolyphosphate) in 1 litre of water before production and keep aside too.
Mix the Texapon and Sulphonic Acid together. Mix very well and dissolve further with 2 litres of water. Stirring should be done gently until mixture is well dissolved. Please stir very well
Dissolve the powdered colour with small quantity of water and keep aside.
Gently pour the dissolved mixture of Sulponic Acid and Texapon into the mixing bowl containing dissolved Nitrosol. Stir very well, you need patience here.
Add the dissolved Caustic Soda into the mixing bowl above and stir very well.
Add the dissolved Soda Ash next and stir very well until even.
Next, add the STPP and stir properly
Add the Dissolved SLS and stir more.
Add Foam Booster to make it foam very well.
Add your Formalin and keep stirring.
Add your color and add water to bring it to the texture you want.
Then add Perfume to your taste.
Ps. No pack plenty colour put inside o, except you want it to stain clothes.
Another thing if you find out you used too much water and your soap became too light, you can buy nitrosol, it’s a thickener, dissolve it and add it to your soap.
Always insist they label the chemicals for you with a paper tape.
