The widespread use of commercial soaps containing potentially harmful chemicals like parabens, sulphates, and
triclosan has prompted concerns about skin health and overall well-being. This research addresses this issue by proposing a revolutionary approach to handmade soap formulations, focusing on enhancing quality through the incorporation of emollients. Handmade soaps, crafted from natural ingredients, offer a safer alternative to mass-produced varieties, potentially reducing skin irritation and allergic reactions. By utilizing emollients such as cocoa butter, shea butter, and mango butter, this project aims to develop natural soaps tailored to individual skin needs. Emollients play a crucial role in improving skin texture and moisture retention. The methodology involves meticulous formulation and testing to ensure product efficacy and safety. Results indicate that cocoa butter emerges as the optimal base for handmade soap, offering superior stability and suitability. Furthermore, comprehensive analyses of physical appearance, pH levels, viscosity, foam production and retention,
total fatty matter, and moisture content provide valuable insights into the quality and performance of the formulated soaps. This research highlights the potential of handmade soaps as a holistic skincare solution, emphasizing the importance of natural ingredients in promoting skin health and well-being. The findings suggest commercialization potential for these innovative emollient-based soap formulations, offering consumers a safer and more customizable skincare option.
