Steps:
- Soak 1/4kg of Antisol or PAC-R or CMC in 10 litres of water for 2-3 days. Note this must properly dissolve and look like Akamu or Starch before you begin production
- Dissolve 1/4 kg of Soda Ash in water and pour into CMC. Stir until reaction is done
- Dissolve SLS in water to give clear solutuon. Pour into CMC and stir.
- Dissolve 1/4 kg Texapon and pour into mixture above
- Pour 1 litre of sulphonic acid into CMC and stir
- Dissolve Caustic soda in water and stir properly. Pour in above mixture
- Add your foam booster and stir well.
- Wait for Lather to disappear, then add color and perfume to taste.
Congratulations! If you followed this step rightly, then your liquid soap should be ready for packaging and distribution. A little problem however, should be a market to sell your products. But you can start by distributing to schools around you. Today, many schools are opening up. You can do a market survey and get a franchise to be a sole distributor to on or many of such schools. Also, clinics, churches etc are a good place to visit.

Thank you blessing for leaving your comments.
I believe you can easily get the chemical in your local market if you make enquiries. The challenge is that I don’t stay in Lagos. Kindly make enquiries and you’ll know where you can get them.
Regards
If anyone who stay around Surulere is seeing this and can be of help, please leave your comments… 🙂

People complain abt my liquid soap that it’s not soapy enough..
I use materials as follow:
Sulphonic acid 1litre
Soda Ash 1/4kg
Sls 1/2kg
Nitrosol 1/4kg
Texapon 1/4kg
Stpp 10tbsp
Color
Perfume
Pls correct me if any mistake
donmattz
Dear Itohan,
Did you start producing after going through our post? What quantity of water do you use? This measurement is for 10ltrs. You may have to increase the quantity of your foaming agents for better result ie Sulphonic acid, Soda ash and Texapon also don’t add excess water.
Thanks
Juliet
For people in Lagos, the best place to get the chemicals is at ojota

Gd day sir, I am using Nitrosol as my thickener pls do I still need to soak it for 2days?
donmattz
Thank you Elo for your comment!
I think Nitrosol is the one that can dissolve within 24hrs? If so, no need to allow it for two days. the idea of soaking is to allow the thickner dissolve well.

Seloba
I really appreciate you for this training even thou I undergo training some month ago on this and it almost the same but I think u can use spoon in making the measurement for them Cus it will b easier. Some shop selling the chemical will tell u they are selling in kg and so on. E.g ¼kg equal to 25 spoon that will make them get correct result that will make u happy.
Thanks.
donmattz
Thanks Seloba for the tip.
Now everyone can use spoon as unit of measurement if the want.

Seloba

Dear Gracy
We wouldn’t engage you in cheap publicity. Know this that your unprofessional comments would see the day light on HHP but can’t deter us. We don’t sell e-books or recipes, they are released for free. And very soon, our DIY Videos would be released to take our enormous fans by the hand on how to produce all these stuffs still free of charge. May be you can still attribute that to your Mr Strongest, #scumbag!!!
Thankyou

lucy
hello thanks for the guide please I was given formalin and was not given caustic soda in the material shop because I don’t know the materials needed n they just give materials according to price that is for 3000 or 5000 pls how do I go about it. again is caustic soda a must in the soap making am kinda confused. please thanks for your good work
donmattz
Hi Lucy,
Formalin is the preservative. You require Caustic Soda because it is one of the foaming agent.
Please refer to the list of materials we listed.

Hello sir/ma
The measurement for the chemical used in producing liquid describe above can produce how many liters of liquid soap as given below
“Soak 1/4kg of Antisol or PAC-R or CMC in 10 litres of water for 2-3 days. Note this must properly dissolve and look like Akamu or Starch before you begin production
Dissolve 1/4 kg of Soda Ash in water and pour into CMC. Stir until reaction is done
Dissolve SLS in water to give clear solutuon. Pour into CMC and stir.
Dissolve 1/4 kg Texapon and pour into mixture above
Pour 1 litre of sulphonic acid into CMC and stir
Dissolve Caustic soda in water and stir properly. Pour in above mixture
Wait for Lather to disappear, then add color and perfume to taste.”
My question how many litres of liquid soap can this produce though i understand the materials would be measured where to get them. Thanks

Emmanuel Florence
I followed up d steps for lunch quid soap and it was successful at first but tried again and got something that is confusing me. after all d mix, I had a good result but two day latter d tickner separated itself from d mix and d liquid soap became like raw egg that has its York seperate from the other part. what should I do
Blessing
Hello everyone,from my experiences,some people are complaining that there soap use to separate after some days,this is due to d sulphuric acid u poured direct,if u observe is very hot,so my dear l advice u mix it with texapon in a separate bucket, allow to cool down for abt 10 to 20 mins before production (that is before pouring it inside ur antisol)
