PREPARATION OF LOUNDARY SOAP USING COCONUT OIL
Abstract
Soap is type of surfactant made from natural oils or fats. Soap serves to emulsify dirt in the form of oil or other impurities. Many soaps sold in the market use synthetic additives as antioxidants that can interfere with skin health for those with sensitive skin. The scarcity of soap that uses antioxidants causes the high price of soap that contains antioxidants. This problem can be solved by using existing natural resources such as coconut oil and producing natural antioxidant-dense soap. This study aims to determine the advantage composition and behavior of coconut oil (VCO) on the quality of making solid soap and obtain variations of solid soap. The method used is by varying the oil. Product analysis includes pH, water content, free alkali, free fatty acid, mineral oil. The natural antioxidant of the soap products obtained good results from an oil.
