Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 anionic degreaser foam stabilizer -- these two I believe should have more information There are a lot of possible additives opacifier c.m.c. degreaser anionic degreaser sodium metasilicate here's a website on it: SODIUM METASILICATE PENTAHYDRATE cocoa arnide Cocamide DEA: Acts as a foam stabilizer and thickener in shampoos. Cocamide MEA: Appears most often in shampoos; can be mildly irritating. complex sodium phospates nonionic surfactant - Surfactants (Cleansers) Surfactants cleanse and build foam by acting at the surface between fat and water (surface-active agents or surfactants). They are able of being mixed with water and fat of the skin, allowing dirt to be removed. Based on their cleansing power surfactants are classified into primary and secondary (or co-) surfactants. Based on the chemical structure there are anionic, amphoteric, non-ionic, and quaternary agents. Surfactants form the base of all personal cleansing products and can also have wetting, conditioning, defatting, emulsifying, & thickening effects. Surfactants are also very useful for homemade soaps (particularly liquid soaps) to improve lathering and decrease harshness. They are added to the oil-lye mixture during the boiling procedure. Surfactants greatly accelerate and improve the soapmaking process. sodium sulfate Sodium lauryl sulfate: Used in many cosmetics as an emulsifier and a detergent. Strongly degreases and dries the skin; okay for use in shampoo. Sodium laureth sulfate: An ionic (negatively charged) surfactant. Appropriate for use in shampoos but too stripping for use on the skin Thanks, Shari Becky People are very open-minded about new things, as long as they are exactly like the old ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 If I didn't make my own soap - probably. ) If this is the same soap you asked about earlier, these ingredients are probably necessary to strengthen the lather. From discussions I've listened to, a lot of people use these additives and still believe their soaps and products are natural. Would you use these products?
