 Instructions

1.       Combine ingredients of Part A with mixing until dissolved.

2.       Add the ingredients of Part B to Part A with mixing.

3.       Premix the ingredients of Part C and add to Part A+B with mixing.

4.       Add slowly Part D for thickening of soap blend. 

Add fragrances such as:

·        Modern Fresh Floral

·        Chamomile Spa

·        Sweet Herbal

·        Pina Colada

·        Cranberry Crème

·        Cucumber Melon

·        Ocean Fresh

(Add fragrance solution slowly while mixing to desired strength.)

Color this soap with….

·        D&C Red 33

·        D&C Green 5

·        D&C Green 8

·        D&C Orange 4

·        FD&C Blue 1

·        FD&C Red 4

·        FD&C Red 40

·        FD&C Yellow 5

·        FD&C Yellow 6

Note: Color should be mixed approximately 40:1 in water before combining.  Mix together and then add with mixing until the product has the color strength you are looking for.  

Note: If your formula becomes cloudy add polysorbate 20 one drop at a time until it clears.

***  Viscosity (or thickness) of the blend can be adjusted with the use of sodium chloride (salt) at low levels in some of the products.  This can range from 0.2% to 1%.  Viscosity typically follows a salt curve whereby a maximum viscosity is reached and decreases rapidly with addition of more salt.   In some cases this can be reversible with the addition of water. But too much salt reduces the solubility of the surfactant so much (again the equilibrium is forced to the left) that it comes out of solution and precipitates. 

Salt thickens surfactants due to the ability of the sodium ions to lower the charge density on the outside of the micelles in the formula. This usually only applies to anionic species or anionic nonionic mixtures.
