Question

I am making 144 bars of soap, each weighing 100g. How much DeoMax should I use for this batch? I am considering using 200g of DeoMax.

Answer

DeoMax Usage in 100g Soap Bar

Based on the recommended usage rate for DeoMax in deodorant products, you would typically use between 1% and 3% of the total formula weight.

For a single 100g bar of soap:

  • If using 1%, you would need 1g of DeoMax.
  • If using 2%, you would need 2g of DeoMax.
  • If using 3%, you would need 3g of DeoMax.

Regarding the calculation for a larger batch of 144 bars, each weighing 100g, the total weight is 144 bars * 100g/bar = 14400g.

To calculate the amount of DeoMax needed for this batch based on the percentage:

  • For 1%: 14400g * 0.01 = 144g
  • For 2%: 14400g * 0.02 = 288g
  • For 3%: 14400g * 0.03 = 432g

Therefore, the amount needed for 144 bars would be between 144g and 432g, depending on the desired concentration within the recommended range of 1-3%. Your calculation of 200g falls within this range, specifically between 1% and 2% usage.
