Any substance that is made from a mixture of natural oils and fats with an alkali

is considered as soap. Soap is a surface-active agent generally used for washing. Washing, because soap

is basically ineffective without water. The use of soap (or any natural soap-cleaning agents) has always

been associated with mans inherent instinct to keep his body, his clothes, and various other washable

belongings clean.

Soap making started in the 18th century by boiling a crude mixture of animal fat, lye from wood ash, and salt

until it became sticky and hard. Later, manufacturers added certain chemicals and permissible additives to

improve the quality of soap; some as builders, other as whitening agents. Color (water soluble dyes) andfragrance are also added to make the product, especially toilet soap, more appealing to consumers

Today, soap products are prepared in various types, shapes and sizes. Even the ordinary laundry soap is

produced now in the form of bars, cakes, flakes, liquids, gels or pastes.

If you are interested in manufacturing soap products from detergent laundry soap to herbal soap, you should

study the technology appropriate to each type. It is also essential that you acquaint yourself with the basic

requirements to be met in soap making. For example, an ordinary soap should be made from alkali and fats

and oils (fatty acids), a moderate amount of matter insoluble in alcohol, and permissible additives. The

finished product should neither bear any objectionable odor nor leave objectionable odor on fabrics and

dishes after washing them and rinsing thoroughly with hot water. The soap should form suds or lather in a

clean moderate hard water (less than 180m ppm CaCO3) when tested.

There are also a prescribed standard size for bar soaps, i.e., basic size of 120 grams, with multiples in a

single bar or four units in a single bar of 480 grams.

In addition to the requirements prescribed in existing laws and regulations, the packing material of soap

should be marked with the following information:

brand name of the product

quantity of individual bars contained

net mass (marked net mass is the average net mass of individual bars at time of packing)

name and address of the manufacturer

country of origin, e.g., Made in the Philippines.

This guide will introduce you to the basic procedures in making various kinds of soap.

Qualities of a Good Soap

A good soap s biodegradable when it does not contain chemicals that cannot be reverted to their natural

elements. Neither does it contain chemicals that are harmful to the environment or cause undue destruction

to the environment.

1. A good soap dissolves easily and remove stains from clothes, human skin or any material being

cleaned.

2. It dissolves in water and produces enough suds.

3. It gives a clear and sparkling kind of cleanliness.

4. It gives a pleasant smell.

5. A good soap does not leave sticky traces on the clothes or on the skin.

6. It has a color that is even and does not streak.

7. It disinfects or kills germs.

8. It does not damage the fibers of textiles.

Basic Ingredient of Soap

Fat or oil and alkali taken from lye are the basic ingredients of soap. Fat serves as the foundation of the

soap and alkali produces the chemical reaction that makes the mixture hard and gives it cleansing ability.

Fat taken from plants like coconut, palm and cottonseed are called soft oils. Animal fat from pigs and cows

are called hard fats. Hard fats do not produce many suds, but this type of fat solidifies and hardens easily.

The soft and hard oils can be mixed to make the soap produce more suds and solidify with the right

hardness. Additives can also be mixed with the soap ingredients. Some of these additives are coco

diethanol amide (CDEA), sodium carbonate, naptha, kerosene and rosin. Fragrances or essential oils fro

lemon, patchouli, lemon grass, citronella and rose are also usually added.

Some Important Chemical Ingredients (Additives) and their Uses

It is important to familiarized ourselves with the common chemical ingredients used and their uses. These

ingredients give the desired quality and feature of the soap. Also, the quantity of these ingredients in making

soap, dictates the cost of soap produced.

1. Coco Diethanol Amide (CDEA) foam or sud booster

2. Sodium silicate hardening and leavening agent; prevents separation or deterioration of

ingredients in liquid products


3/42

3. Sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) cleansing agent; for thickening effect and a cheaper but

effective foamer

4. Sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) a chemical that gives cleansing power

5. Ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) sequestering agent that makes the ingredients float;

used as foaming stabilizer; also used to reduce hardness in water

6. Caustic potash (also known as potassium hydroxide) allows bar soap to harden

7. Tergitol binder used for powdered detergent

8. Sodium phosphate provides the abrasive strength; removes hard water minerals and this

increase the effectiveness of detergents; prevents dirt from settling back into clothes during

washing

9. Sodium chloride or table salt thickening agent; provides viscosity to the soap

10. Methyl and propyl paraben anti-microbial preservatives

11. Triethanol amine (TEA) emulsifier uesd in facial cleanser

12. Caustic soda (also called sodium hydroxide) neutralizes or adjust the acidity of other ingredients13. Benzalkonium chloride disinfectant against bacteria, fungi and yeasts

14. Carboxyl methy cellulose (CMC) antiredeposition agent that prevents dirt from settling back into

clothes during washing

15. Sodium sulfate provides proper flow or solubility to soap; cleans without leaving residue

16. Glycerine serves as moisturizer in facial cleaner

CAUTION

Commercial lye, potash lye and soda lye even dampened wood ashes are EXTREMELY caustic and can

cause burns if splashed on the skin. They could cause blindness if spattered in the eye.

Use caution when adding lye to cold water, when stirring lye water and when pouring the liquid soap into

moulds. If it is spilled on the skin, wash off immediately with cold water. Wash off any lye or green (uncured)

soap spilled on furniture or counter tops.

Though some of the old recipes didnt say so, always add lye to COLD water, never to hot water, because

the chemical action heats the cold water to the boiling point. It also produces harsh fumes which are harmful

if breathed deeply. Stand back and avert the head while the lye is dissolving. The use of a draft vent is

recommended.

Because of these dangers, it is best to keep small children from the room while soap is being made.

Basic Equipments Needed


4/42

A container A large iron soap kettle or a common wash boiler is great for making soap in large quantities

over an open fire. For indoor soap-making in smaller quantities, pots that are granite or porcelain- covered

are the best to use because of the corrosive character of some of the recipes ingredients. Dispose of soap-

making wastes carefully outdoors, not in the drain. Never put lye or fresh soap in aluminum pans.

A Ladle If an iron kettle is used a long-handled wooden ladle is needed to stir the soap. For indoor soap-

making a wooden spoon will do. Once again dont use aluminum.

A Grater or Grinder A kitchen grater or a meat grinder is need to make soap flakes for laundry use or to

grind soap for some of the later recipes.

Molds Flat wooden boxes or wooden tubs to mold the soap while it cooled and hardened. Laid pieces of

cloth Over the wood to keep the soap from sticking. You can buy fancy molds in hobby shops, but for home

use, discarded plastic bottles work just as well and are much cheaper.

A Plate Some recipes call for a plate on which to cool a few drops of the liquid from time to lime to test for

doneness. A glass plate is preferred because it cooled the liquid faster.

Basic Steps in Soap Making

1. Sufficient mixing is important in soap making. Although mixing can be done by hand, the use of an

electric stainless steel mixing tank makes work faster and gives better results.

2. The basic soap ingredients (fat or oil and alkali) undergo the process of saponification. Here, the

elements of the fat or oil called esters, separate and become fatty acids. Fatty acids, in turn, get

mixed with the sodium elements of the alkali and this solidifies the soap.

3. The soap now undergoes the cold process (the simplest technology applied in soap making).

During the cold process, fat and water are mixed thoroughly to prevent the formation of sediments.

4. The soap is left to cool and harden. This is called the cooling and solidifying stage.

5. The bar soap is sliced and dried to remove moisture.

6. The sliced soap is left to age, a process which removes the effects of caustic soda.

7. Finally, the soap is packed for marketing and selling.

THE Mission Vocation Training Centre, consisting of

professionals from various fields, is a missionary body

established in 2000 with the aim of empowering people withthe requisite commercial skills that will make for a life of

wealth and self-sufficiency.

With this aim, the centre has organised a series of training workshops in different parts

of the country to train on how to establish small-scale industries engaged in the

production of items like detergent, washing-up liquid, petroleum jelly, candles and

confectionery, among several others, recording more than 100,000 trainees so far.

In June, the Missions Vocation Training Centre commenced its training workshops in the

South West, covering cities like Ibadan, Akure and Lagos after an extensive coverage of

some northern cities including Abuja, Kaduna, Kano, Niger and Nasarawa.

The General Coordinator of the centre, Reverend Stephen D. Praise, believes that

anybody can break out of poverty, just like he did, provided that they have the right skills

and ample knowledge on how to sell, which he shares later on, in this report.

Last Saturday, SaturdayTribune visited the venue of the centres workshop taking place

at St. Annes Secondary School premises, Molete, Ibadan, Oyo State, where hundreds

of participants were in attendance. One of several skill acquisition trainings on offer was

one on paint making.

The process of paint production

The paint industry remains a lucrative one in a country like Nigeria, where houses are

constantly being built all around the country.

According to the syllabus the centre provides, the materials needed for paint production

are: water acticide, calgon, silicate, titanium dioxide, calcium, genepor, defoamer, PVA,

formalin, nitrosol, ammonium solution and coloured paste; each of these ingredients is

mixed according to a prescribed industrial formula.

The process of turning these constituents into regular emulsion paint takes place in a

few simple steps. It begins with pouring about 40 litres of water into a mixing tank. Some

water should be set aside for diluting the other chemicals.

Measure the calgon into a separate bowl, add water and stir to dissolve. Then pour it

into the mixing tank as mixing begins. Add water to the silicate, stir and pour into the

mixing tank. This same procedure is carried out for titanium oxide and calcium, and both

are added into the mixing tank.

Add the genepor, formalin, ammonia solution and diluted PVA and defoamer. Pour the

nitrosol into the remaining water; stir vigorously and pour it into the mixing tank. Allow

the mixture to get well blended and the paint is ready.

Different colours are formed by different choices of colour paste.


7/42

Making mentholated balm

Another training the centre has on offer deals with the production of mentholated balm.

This product is quite lucrative to produce and sell, seeing that a large proportion of the

nations population are aged people, among whom body pains are a frequent malaise,

for which this product can provide quick relief.

The chemical ingredients needed here include: petroleum jelly, paraffin wax, menthol

crystal or peppermint oil, methyl salicylate, turpentine oil, eucalyptus, tincture of

capsicum and camphor. The equipment needed are a boiler, a heating system,

packaging containers and a weighing scale.

Place the boiler on the heating system and pour in the petroleum jelly and allow it to

melt. Then, add the menthol crystal, allowing it to melt also. Add the following

ingredients in this order into the boiler: methyl salicylate, turpentine oil, eucalyptus oil

and the tincture of capsicum.

Stir and add paraffin wax. Finally, add the camphor, rectified stirring properly and empty

the entire mixture into the containers. Allow to cool and the product is ready.

How to market products succesfully

The ability to break into the market is one of the most important aspects of wealth

creation. No matter how good a produce is, it cannot be sold, that product becomes a

failure, said Reverend Praise.

It is not always who knows it best, or who has the best product, but who can sell best.

With this in mind, it is pertinent for one properly understand how to market the products

one has learnt how to produce. Therefore, the general coordinator of the centre gave

some key points on how to succesfully market such products:

1. Readiness to pay attention to marketing: Give the product the best acceptable

quality. But it would be a grave mistake to give 90 per cent of the capital to the product

and 10 per cent to marketing. It should be 50-50, or in some cases, 40 per cent to the

product, and 60 per cent to marketing.

2. Product/Market Research: Reports from questionnaire are not always reliable, as

people tend to respond based on their moods when one meets them. Instead, employ

the use of undercover agents. Send them into the target group and they will bring you

useful results. In doing this, you must establish three things: What is the target group?

How relevant is the product? What is the strength and weakness of the competitors?


8/42

3. How to get the customers response: Proper study of what will prompt the response

of your target group or how they get excited is important. What elicits response would

differ from one locality to another.

4. Branding: This has a lot to do with giving the product an image, style and packaging.

Packaging is not all about giving a book, for example, the best cover or designing of

good package for items. It also has to do with the marketers dressing and style. If

adverts are done, but the products and outlets are left without style, one would only

attract customers who would be disappointed.

Having gathered all this information, one should be quite prepared to execute a

successful production enterprise. As Mrs. Oketade who learnt baking and soap making

at the centre said, With knowledge about production coupled with information on how to

sell these products, I find it very enlightening and educative.

Oyediran Abiola, another participant, said that he found that he had indeed learnt to

produce good quality products, after he had sampled the views of his first few

customers.

for bankers!

A beloved brother in the Lord, ventured into this particular endeavour few

years back and he started with borrowed systems which actually included

one of my desktops. In 8 months, he bought 2 cars :The first one he bought

was ceased by Nigerian Customs along Ife/Ibadan Express Road. I

encouraged him not to give up, he faced life again and bought a stronger

car! Today he is happily married, living in UK

lack of skill. You can always make use of other people skill(OPS).You dont

have to be a doctor to own an hospital, you dont have to be a computer

guru to start a computer school.

management

Advertise for interested candidates in the open market

Organize free computer training programmeyou will get your money

back through compulsory materials money and certificate fees (this you

can imagine, with a little creativity and ingenuity, you can make a unique or specialized

herbal soap.

its curative properties and incorporate it into the herbal soap by making herbal extractswhich you will use on making the herbal soap. For example, you can create something

like a mosquito repellent herbal soap which can last for many hours. So again, withoutmuch ado, let me introduce to you the procedure on making the herbal soap.

SCHOOL CHALK PRODUCTIONChalk and black boards are still used from nursery school to the university level,

particularly in this side of the world, where modern teaching aids are not easy to come

by. As long as people still send their children to school, production of chalk will continueto be a good business.

PRODUCTION REQUIREMENT

The complete set of machine for the production of chalk which could be electric ormanual consists of a mixer, an oven or dryer, chalk mould and gauge. Other items needed

are the container for packaging the chalk. Granted that it requires some skill, you can

master this skill within a week depending on your ability to learn. However, if you donot want to go through the problems of production yourself, you can employ people who

know about chalk production and you will then create marketing channels in targeted

areas far and near. Chalks come in different colours, though white is mostly in demand.

REQUIREMENT

Water

GypsumCalcium carbonate

PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES? Measure 10 litres of water into a bowl

? Add gypsum

? Mix? Add calcium carbonate

? Mix vigorously

? Quickly pour into the mould? Allow to settle for 10 minutes

? Remove chalk and allow to dry

? Package for sale

COST INVESTMENT? Machinery N25,000

? Raw materials 15,000


39/42

? Packaging 15,000

? Others 5,000

MARKET/INCOMEAt present, a pack of about 50 pieces of chalk sells for N200 and if you produce on large

scale, the cost of producing 50 packs could be as low as N100 per pack. The implication

is that you can make between N80 N100 on every pack and you can sell as many as 50 100 packs to a single school. For a start, it is advisable that you personally supervise the

distribution to schools around you and let them know that you are always ready to bring it

to their door steps. So there is no need for them to go looking for the good.The good news is that the business can take off from your house. Possibly your boys

quarters.
