I am writing this because some sent me a mail in respect to this. He ask to know the right chemical measurement for liquid soap making and their equivalent prices. He said, this is important to him because its going to serve as a guide.
However, this is just a quide as it is subjected to changes. Moreso, this chemical are listed in Naira.
There are basically seven chemicals you need to make a soap but I will be listing eight here becasue that is the chemicals used with this method. In my next article I shall be writing about how to make a liquid soap with lesser chemicals with minimum time. Thus chemical measurement is for 25 liters of liquid soap. You can double this measurement if you want to produce larger quantity.

Price:
N550 at the moment
2. Custic Soda

3. Soda ash

Thanks very much sir
Can u please explain stpp thanks.
What do you like to know more?
Please what products Is being fermented in liquid
I don’t understand your question.
thank you for the information. Can these measurements be given in weights (kg or grans) since they’re mostly dry?
Please what rice? Is it rice water cold or boiled
It’s actually “Laurel Rice” but people often call it “Rice” for short. Please note, this is not the same as the rice we eat at home; as it is a chemical used in making detergent, and as such not edible.
Just visit the chemical sellers. Tell them the litres you want to do, starting from 20 litres and they know the measurement to give you.
That is not bad, but there is a danger in doing that; as they will only sell you the chemicals based on their own method. So, this may not work if you have a different method. The best is to know what you want and make your order based on your need.
Please what level should my soda ash and costic mixture be on the hydrometer before using for the liquid soap?
Sir, thank you for the information but some of these chemicals are not in liquid. In such case, how do you compound it to liquid
Thank you.
