Making Natural Liquid Soap with Specific Ingredients
คำถาม
I want to make a natural liquid soap without harmful substances. I only have the following ingredients:
- Liquid Glycerin
- Thickener Powder
- Creamy Foamer (Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate)
- EasyThick
- Rice Germ Water
Can these ingredients be used to make liquid soap? Do I need to add any other substances? Could you please provide the mixing order? Thank you.
คำตอบ
Yes, you can create a basic liquid soap using the ingredients you have: Liquid Glycerin, Thickener Powder (assuming EasyThick is the primary thickener), Creamy Foamer (Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate), EasyThick, and Rice Germ Water.
Here's a breakdown of the ingredients and a general mixing order:
- Rice Germ Water: This will be your liquid base.
- Creamy Foamer (Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate): This is the primary surfactant, responsible for cleansing and creating foam.
- Liquid Glycerin: Acts as a humectant, helping to moisturize the skin.
- EasyThick (and potentially other Thickener Powder): These are used to increase the viscosity of the liquid soap to the desired consistency.
Mixing Order:
- Combine the Rice Germ Water and Liquid Glycerin. Mix well.
- Add the Creamy Foamer (Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate) to the liquid mixture. Stir gently to avoid excessive foaming.
- Gradually add EasyThick (and any other thickener powder if it's a separate ingredient) while stirring until the desired thickness is achieved. Mix thoroughly to ensure the thickener is fully dissolved and no clumps remain.
- Optional but highly recommended: For safety and shelf life, especially when using water-based ingredients like Rice Germ Water, it is strongly advised to add a preservative. Without a preservative, the product is susceptible to microbial growth. You may also need to adjust the pH to be skin-friendly.
While these ingredients can form a soap, adding a preservative is crucial for product stability and safety. You might also consider adding fragrance, color, or other beneficial extracts after thickening, but before adding a preservative (if using a heat-sensitive one).
