2. Aloe vera gel - 200g: this is the thickening agent. You buy it at the chemical shop. I don't know why it is called aloe vera gel. That is the name I use to buy it at the shop. It is expensive. If you want more thickness increase the aloe vera gel.

3. Glycerine - 60ml: this is moisturizer.

4. Perfume - 40ml

THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT INSECTICIDES AND PEST CONTROL CHEMICALS

We have well formulated chemicals for effectively killing of mosquitoes, lizards, snakes, bedbugs, millipede and centipede, coackroaches, tick and lice, weevil, ant etc.

A good pesticide must have broadbase activity on pests - kill by contact, stomach acting, pe*******on of nervous system, cell deactivation and effect on respiratory system.

The following are to be noted about pest control chemicals:

1. All that kill insects and pests can kill human beings. Caution is absolutely demanded. Engage chemical experts only.
2. Always cover all food items before applying these chemicals.
3. Vacate atmosphere that these chemicals have been applied for at least 6 hours.
4. Do not use these chemicals frequently. Once a month is too much. Always opt for a clean environment. Clear bushes around you and use mosquito net.
5. Never treat box of clothes for babies with insecticides - not even camphor. Pregnant women should completely avoid pest chemicals environment.
6. An accommodation or office that has been fumigated should be cleaned and sanitized before re-entry.
7. Every insecticide and pest control you buy in the market, shops and roadside hoakers are extremely dangerous chemicals (including the ones we formulate) - the most effective, the most dangerous. Always heed to safety warning.
8. Be careful of candles that kill insects.
9. Most solid air fresheners have BTEX group of chemicals. This doesn't look good on your system over a long time. Go for ester based (perfume) air fresheners.
10. Wash your food items thoroughly - rice, beans, fruits - as all of them might have been treated with these chemicals.

HOT PROCESS, SEMI-HOT AND COLD PROCESS

These three processes can give you commercially profitable bar soaps if you master the craft of soap making. None is superior to the other.

HOT PROCESS: Here you use external heating source to "cook" the soap raw materials. Stainless steel or iron vessels only, not aluminium. It prevents the problem of soap separation and reduce curing time. It can handle waste and recycled oils - frying oils, soapstock, fibre oil, sludge etc. It is suitable for both handmade and plodder made soaps. Do not be tempted to add excess water and fillers, as this will affect the asthetic and detergency of your bars. Stick with standard formulation, water content and moderate fillers. Excellent gelling is achieved.

SEMI-HOT PROCESS: Caustic soda is dissolved and used immediately while still hot. No external heat source is required. The heat of reaction between caustic soda and oils cook the soap and gives it nice gelling. You need to know how to time the trace point. No filler is permitted here. Perfect for handmade and plodder made soaps. Plodder makers use this to save cooking cost.

COLD PROCESS: This method is convenient for its ease of use. Caustic soda is dissolved and left to cool for 3 hours to 48 hours. Fillers can be added here. This method selects oils a lot. Your oils must be high grade. Only used in handmade soaping not for plodder soaps. It is also very okay for commercial soap business.

As a soapmaker you need to know the three methods to have a complete product mix. You can also switch methods to troubleshoot a situation.

LEARNING THE SURFACTANTS TERMS

Any formulation you see Ungerol or Ungarol know that they are refering to Texapon (SLES, Sodium lauryl ether sulphate).

When you see Ufacid know that they are referring to Sulphonic acid (LABSA, Linear alkyl benzene sulphonic acid).

It is only among untrained formulators that you hear that Ufacid is CDEA (the socalled foam booster). Ufacid is not CDEA. Ufacid is sulphonic acid.

CDEA (Cocodiethanolamid) is a very expensive surfactant. It is high foaming.

ISSUE OF ADULTERATION
1. Ungerol: most chemical vendors make home made so called Texapon, package and sell them.
2. Ufacid: they dilute sulphonic acid with large amount of sulpuric acid, lower the quality and sell.
3. CDEA: they mix liquid detergent (call it liquid soap) with cheap surfactants, put in container, label as CDEA (foam booster) and sell at a very high price.

For those of us who are into or interested in the production of organic skin care products, I advice you have a garden or portion of land and grow aloe vera.

I can guide you on how to plant and care for it.

When it attains maturity after about 3 and 1/2 years you can now harvest.

1. You can either dry (not under the sun), crush the dried leaves into powder and store in airtight containers (glass, plastic, ceramic).

OR

2. Collect gel from the fresh leaves to make Aloe Vera Gel Base.

Aloe vera gel base can be sold to pharmaceuticals and those in the cosmetic industry.

Aloe Vera gel base is added in the formulation of a wide.range of products such as tooth paste, creams, balms, soaps, oils, and other skincare products.

You may go further to make Aloe Vera Gel from the Gel Base.

Take a step out of the box.
Good luck.

PRODUCTION OF DEXTRIN

Get 1 kg cornstarch. Spray with 0.3M HCl (to prepare 0.3M HCl, add 30ml concentrated HCl (36% by mass) in 1 litre of water and stir). When the acid is sprayed to dampen the starch (not soaked, not flooded). Mix properly and leave to age for 24 hours.

Heat the acidified aged starch in a pot at 60°C for 30 minutes to get white dextrin powder.

To get yellow dextrin powder, heat at 90°C for 3 hours.

REFINING FOOD GRADE PALM OIL

Degumming

Put 20 litres of palm oil in a pot. Add 20ml of Phosphoric acid. The Phosphoric acid should be upto 85% concentration. Heat at 95°C for 15 minutes.

Bleaching

Add 400g of activated clay (activated bentonite or activated carbon). Heat to 100°C for 30 minutes.

THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT COLOURS IN COSMETICS

Colours are added to beautify cosmetics and make them sensually appealing to customers. Colours can be natural or synthetic. A good grabs of colour dynamics determine the level of your competence in cosmetic formulation. I will be sharing a useful hints on colours in cosmetics, without bothering you with much of colour chemistry:

1. Colours of your product change due to pH of the product. Too much caustic soda in soap and detergent will change colour of your product. Too little caustic soda in liquid detergent that has sulphonic acid will affect colour as well.
2. Invest in cosmetics with natural colours. I insist on my students avoiding synthetic colours in Organic African Black Soap formulation - we go all natural.
3. For a well formulated soap with adequate alkali to oil ratio, the only ingredient that will likely cause allergy is colour (and perfumes). Most synthetic colours are responsible for dermatitis and organ/reproductive malfunction and failure.
4. Avoid synthetic colours derived from heavy metals like lead, cadmium in your cosmetic formulation.
5. Natural colours for cosmetics can be obtained from plants (leaf, seed, root and bark), animals and microbes.
6. Test to confirm if your colour is soluble in water or oil before diluting for application.
7. Most natural colours are a great source of vitamins - lycopene, carotenoid embedded colours.

Chemical formulation is a rewarding venture when you gain mastery of the art. This mastery is what we provide at Odfid Technical Center.
