The need for a high level of sanitation in our personal, family and community lives, which helps us to remain healthy has given rise, in recent times, to different formulations of detergents, laundry bars and liquid soaps of different ranges. Soap is an every day need and is in demand daily. That’s why different soap manufacturing companies keep springing up yearly and they do break even. You too can take advantage of this mega opportunity and be empowered for life. If you feel you can’t market it yourself, then produce and get people to market it for you on commission basis.
FORMULATION INGREDIENTS
The ingredients include the following;
C.M.C-This is the thickening agent.
The S.T.P.P , which is meant for the glittering effect.
Coloring agent- comes in different colors.
Perfumes used to give the liquid formulation a good scent. VERY IMPORTANT.
The foaming agents that make the solution foam well.
Water- used for mixing the ingredients.
STEPS
The whole process takes about three (3) days before the soap is ready for use.
Step 1: Soak the C.M.C i.e. the thickening agent in water for three days. On the third day, you will then add your foaming agent and the S.T.P.P while you keep stirring. Add the coloring agent and continue stirring until you get an even mixture. Then add your perfume, be careful of the amount to avoid wastage and too strong a smell.
Veryyy simple technique, isn’t it?
MEASURING THE INGREDIENTS.
The ingredients can be gotten from the market; all you just need to do is tell them the quantity you need.
One kilogram of CMC is to be soaked inside a twenty litre basin of water. The others should be added at your discretion as you observe the outlook. Adding to much of the foaming agent makes the soap too foamy.
As you produce, you will know the exact amount that will give you the quality that you desire.
PACKAGING
You can also get containers to put the soap from the market. The containers come in 20cl, 50cl, 1litre, 4 litres and so on.
The prices for the containers ranges thus; 1 litre-N30, 4 litre- N100 (prices varies but they are not expensive)
You can also print a pack that will be attached to the container if you want.
MARKET FOR YOUR FINISHED PRODUCT.
The price you sell is up to you but it is good you take into consideration how others sell and then sell at a lower price in order to get customers. . You can supply shops to sell for you, also hotels, fast food centres, hospitals, schools, offices and homes. Just get people to market for you and draw up a marketing plan and strategy.
Very easy,Thank you!!!
