The Soap-Making Business Guide

April 23, 2009 by Leo   9,650 Views

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 man’s 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.

    Anyone looking for cheaper but have the same quality as branded papaya soap?
    best for salon,spa or skin care clinic business owners to have thier own brand of soap to offer for thier loyal customers.

    The soap is formulated for all skin type & handmade in small batches to ensure freshness & customer satisfaction.

    Sample is available for free trial – Chronicles2008@live.com

    Hi guys, i attended a soap making seminar somewhere in las pinas. nakita ko lang dito sa web ang ads nila. so far ok naman ang teaching approach nila. im from the south area and i’m thankful that i saw their ads here, di na ako napalayo pa.

    try them it’s worth attending….
    (i dont wanna mention name ng business nila, pero sa las pinas po sila harapan ng isang mall doon)

    • karli says:

      Hi Anne…i’m from south as well. i attended detergent,liquid dishwashing and fab con seminar before. i’m interested in bath soap making. are you pursuing this as business or just a hobby? if you have time (and interested?) can we communicate? i’m planning to attend din sa las pinas. My email add is karli_08@yahoo.com.
      Anyone from the site here who’s planning to pursue soap making as business? maybe we could exchange e-mails?
      thanks.

    I saw a book on amazon that looked good called How to formilate and compound industrial soaps. Its a paperback for $34.00 but i saw the website of the author David G urban and there is a pdf download thats cheaper.

          • RICKY says:

            Sir i dont conduct seminar but i do have 7yrs experience in soap making as production leadman though you dont need to have a background in chemistry as long as you know the basic,but in my case,may nilalagay talaga ako to make my whitening soap effective not just the basic knowledge in soap

        • RICKY says:

          Hi Cecil, im independent homebased soap maker especially in papaya soap,i work before in soap manufacturing company for 7 years as prod.leadman.

          though i dont conduct seminars you can ask me tru my e-mail add Chronicles2008@live.com for advice or tips maybe.

      • RICKY says:

        hi niko,i have been in soap making for so many years being in production & now self-employed also in soap making especially papaya soap. i always follow the 1 is to 2 ratio meaning 1 kilo of caustic for 2 kilo of water, so kung 1liter lang ang kailangan mo na solution o.k lang may matira you can still use it.

        but the catch there is still you have to measure the concentration level of the sulotion which is tricky.
