Soda soap is very easy and quick to produce. The ingredients for production can be gotten from a chemical shop close to you. It is a traditional way of making soap but has been modified to bar soap.
In Akwa Ibom State it is one of the most commonly used soap. Many homes used it for washing kitchen utensils. But low income earners use it for every other thing such as; bathing, washing clothes etc.
Ingredients for making soda soap
- Oil (palm oil or P.K.O) – 6 litres
-  Caustic soda solution – 3 ½ litres
-  Colour – to taste
- Fragrance (optional) – to taste
Procedures for making Soda Soap
Measure oil: 6 litres of palm kernel oil and mix with 3 ½ litres of caustic soda solution, add other ingredients (colour, fragrance) just as you desire and mix very well to smoothness.
The caustic soda can be dissolved overnight for smooth appearance before use.
Note: If you are using palm oil, boil till the red foaming colour and substance disappear.
Then turn into your soap mould for your soap to form
