How to make liquid soap

Having seen a lot of soap making procedures, i decided to share with you the one i tried out and loved in my home made soap experiences.

Chemicals Required:
25litres of water
1/4kg of cmc
1/4kg of texapon
1/4kg of caustic acid
1litre of sulphonic acid
1/2kg of soda ash
colourant (to taste)
fragrance
100g of citric acid
60ml of glycerin (optional)

Procedure

• soak cmc with 20litres of water for at least 24hours
• pour caustic soda into 3litres of water, stir properly and leave for some minutes
• pour soda ash into 2litres of water and stir
• pour the sulphonic acid inside a bucket, add texapon and stir together till it turns to a chocolate colour
• pour the properly stirred caustic soda into the mixture
• pour the soda ash too
• stir properly
• add the mixture into the cmc container
• add citric acid, glycerin, colour and fragrance
• stir all together until it blends

note: you may need to sieve your cmc if it has lumps and not smooth

cmc-carboxymethyl cellulose is used as a thickner
texapon- acts as cleaning agents due to their stong washing perfomance and foaming properties
caustic soda- is used for pH regulation
sulphonic soda-Because of their high acidity, sulfonic acids are often soluble in water or exhibit detergent-like properties.
soda ash-pH regulator and water softener
glycerin-improves smoothness and provides lubrication
citric acid-natural preservative

STRETCH MARKS REMEDY

Water--
Water is the quickest and most efficient way to minimize the appearance of stretch marks.
Properly hydrated skin is softer and more supple, causing your skin to appear more toned and eliminating some of the "bumpy" qualities of stretch marks. Keeping hydrated will also help prevent new stretch marks from forming.

Olive Oil--
Olive oil contains a lot of nutrients and antioxidants that help improve various skin problems including stretch marks.
1. Massage slightly warm extra-virgin olive oil into the affected skin area. This will improve the blood circulation and reduce the stretch marks to a great extent.
2. Leave it for half an hour so that the vitamins A, D and E present in the oil are absorbed by the skin.
You can also mix olive oil with vinegar and water and use it as a night cream. This will keep your skin moisturized and also exfoliate the skin.

Lemon juice --
The acid in lemon juice helps reduce skin blemishes. Cut a lemon in half and gently rub a cut end over your stretch marks. Allow the juice to sit on your skin for up to 10 minutes before rinsing with water.

Cocoa Butter --
Cocoa butter is noted for its anti-aging properties while promoting circulation and reducing stretch marks. Just take a tablespoon of cocoa butter and massage on the affected portion gently. Do this technique twice daily until you notice an improvement on your skin.

Aloe Vera--
Aloe vera is effective for minimizing the appearance of stretch marks. With its cooling and healing components, you can achieve positive results from using this herbal remedy regularly. Just get few small aloe vera leafs, and use this to rub on your skin for a few minutes. Next, rinse the area off with lukewarm water.
Another option in using aloe vera is by taking the gel form of this plant. Then, get 5 capsules of vitamin A and vitamin E, and extract their oil. Combine these vitamin-enriched oil with your aloe vera and rub on the affected area well. Wait for the mixture to be absorbed completely by your skin, and leave on for about 10 minutes. You should also apply this daily for favorable results.
