LIQUID SOAP PRODUCTION


Liquid soap as the name implies, is soap in liquid form. It is a cleansing agent and it is a multi-purpose cleanser.

Liquid soap is also known as liquid detergent. It has the ability to emulsify oils and hold dirt in suspension. Liquid detergents (Soap) share same properties with solid detergents.

A detergent is expected to consist of the surface-active agents or ingredients which are the essential ingredients and supplementing ingredients.

In all detergents, the surface-active agent forms the most important part of the detergent. All the ingredients needed in the production of liquid soap will be listed later.
