subject: Africa Lathered by Radiant Resources [print this page] Author: Emma Reed Author: Emma Reed
Before soap was made, our ancestors around the world used only water to keep themselves clean. Water was not very useful as a cleanser. At the most, it could just get mud off the skin. Thus cleansers like detergents and soaps were created. Water alone is incapable of removing many types of stains. Oils, grease and other tough stains need detergents and soaps as water does not mix with oil. So basically, soap acting as an emulsifier allows water to extract grime. Without particular chemicals used in soap, water would not be able to extract oils. Many materials constitute cleansers like soaps and detergents. The different chemicals in them play a major role in removing dirt and grime off the skin and from textile materials. Many raw materials used to make soap are not easily available in Africa. Thus the chemical traders in Dubai called Radiant Resources sources different raw materials to Africa that are used to manufacture soaps and detergents. Fatty acids from animal fat and oils are used to make soap. Alkali is also used to make soap. It is a soluble salt of alkali metals like sodium/ potassium, etc. Previously, the ashes of plants were used to make soap when the extraction of alkali was not known to us. Some of the common alkalis used are NaOH / caustic soda and KOH / potassium hydroxide. Glycerin is another major component in soaps.
