When you speak of bar soaps, so many types of soaps come to your mind. If you are a manufacturer in Africa looking for raw materials to make bar soaps, you can always contact our bulk chemical suppliers in the Middle East famed as Radiant Resources.
Different bar soaps used in Africa are made from various combination of cosmetic chemicals supplied from Dubai. Here are the 4 main types of bar soaps manufactured in Africa
* Chemicals
* Glycerin
* Petroleum Jelly, White Oils and fats
* Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
* Saponification Process
1. Traditional Bar Soap
You have the common traditional bar soap that clearly does its job of picking dirt. These soaps can also be irritating to the skin as they are difficult to wash away.
2. Glycerin
Then you have the transparent category of soaps full of glycerin which are mild on the skin. The glycerin acts as a moisturizer.
3. Superfatted Soap
Then there is also the superfatted kind. These soaps are made through an incomplete saponification process. In this process not all of the fats and oils are processed, thus the name 'superfatted'.
4. Syndet Bar(Mildest cleanser)
And last but not the least a gentle soap like Dove cannot be forgotten. Such a soap is called a syndet bar. Petroleum jelly, oils and fats are processed in a complexed manner to obtain such soap. Such soap is known as the mildest cleanser. Sodium cocoyl isethionate is widely used in these soap bars.
