Iam interest about your research, because I think the idea of ​-​-making nanoparticle soap is
rarely known to the public.
In your slide presentation expalined about characterizing of nanoparticle soap like
organoleptic, pH, homogenity etc.
1. Is there no need to test the resulting soap such as soaping number, moisture content
such as testing for basic soap making?
2. why do you prefer sodium lauryl sulfate for liquid soap-making ingredients compared to
potassium hydroxide?
thanks

Wa^alaikumsalam Wr.Wb.
Thanks for the question: because in this study that worked on 3 people, please ask
permission to answer each question according to the field being worked on.
Number one answered wirasti: In the liquid soap formulation we make, it doesn^t
use NaOH or KOH ingredients, so it doesn^t really need to test the soap number
(alkaline content). Meanwhile, testing the water content needs to be done.
Number two who answered Yulian Wahyu Permadi and Wulan Agustin Ningrum. The
choice of sodium lauryl sulfate is due to:
a. Easy in the process of making preparations.
b. The foam that is produced is more, this is beneficial for the use of liquid soap.
c. The pH resulting from liquid soap preparations is not too high compared to using
NaOH.
Thank for explanation, I have gained new knowledge from this research, hopefully in the
future it can be more applied and become a product that can be recognized by the public
