What is The Formulation Library — 100 Soap Formulas?
The Formulation Library — 100 Soap Formulas is a soap-making formulation book published by Phoenix Safety Consultants: 186 pages, £27.77, delivered as an instant PDF download.
This volume of The Formulation Library holds one hundred soap formulas. Every oil blend is written as a percentage of total oils, with the lye and water calculated per 1,000 g, the fatty acid profile stated, and the cure and pH set out: technically sound starting points for education and product development.
Twelve foundation chapters come first, including fatty acid indices, lye safety, water discount, trace, gel phase, cure, soda ash and DOS, fragrance, equipment, and why soap is not exempt from the law.
What is inside each soap formula?
- Oil or base table — INCI names, percentages, source and function.
- Alkali and water quantities per 1,000 g of oils — with superfat stated.
- Fatty acid profile — hardness, cleansing and conditioning.
- Method of manufacture — numbered steps with temperatures and trace points.
- Blending technique, cure, target pH, packaging and troubleshooting
Sections: Foundations · Cold Process: Everyday Bars · Cold Process: Specialty Bars · Hot Process & Rebatch · Liquid Soap · Cream & Shaving Soaps · Transparent & Melt-and-Pour · Syndet & Combination Bars · Appendices · Formula Index.
How to use this book
- As starting points — adapt a formula for your own range.
- To work safely — read the lye safety chapter before your first batch.
- To diagnose faults — use the troubleshooting notes and the soda ash and DOS chapter.
Legal position
The formulas are for education and product development. No formula has been safety-assessed or stability-tested. Soap is not exempt: a soap sold as a cosmetic in Great Britain or the EU needs a Responsible Person, a CPSR signed by a qualified safety assessor, a Product Information File and notification under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 (as retained in GB).
Who wrote it, and what should I read next?
- Who publishes this book? — Published by Phoenix Safety Consultants, under the supervision of Syed Muhammad Shamuel Shees, Founder & CEO.
- Is it written from practice? — Yes. Phoenix Safety Consultants prepares cosmetic safety documentation, and the book is written in plain English to be used, not just read.
