Influence of Natural Extracts on the Quality of Cold Sodium Soap
Journal Title: BULETINUL INSTITUTULUI POLITEHNIC DIN IASI, CHIMIE SI INGINERIE CHIMICA - Year 2017, Vol 63, Issue 4
Abstract
In this study, toilet soaps containing a mixture of natural fruit and vegetable extracts were prepared. The results show that the three vegetable oils (olive, palm and coconut oil) used as a source of fatty acids, due to their acidity index, iodine and saponification index, are a good raw material for making soap. Furthermore, they contain vitamins and antioxidants, which, together with those contained in the natural extracts mixture obtained from fruits and vegetables, helps to improve the softening and soothing properties of the soap. However, anthocyanin pigments from the natural extracts do not contribute to the colour enhancement of the finished product due to the colour change based on the pH value for the alkaline solution or the soap (neutral pH). For all that reasons, the soap obtained is a quality product because it does not have alkali, and because the glycerine content helps with moisturizing and softening the skin.
