Lather, sometimes called soapsuds or simply suds is a frothy, white mass of bubbles that results when a cleansing substance or soap is combined with water. It is widely believed that the more lather a product generates, the better it is at cleaning. This belief, which is promoted through the marketing of products is incorrect, however, having become accustomed to copious amounts of lather in our beauty products, it has become the norm to expect it and to think more highly of products based (sometimes) solely on how much lather they generate.
Perhaps our love of lather begins in infancy and childhood when we are enticed to our baths by the presence of lots of white bubbles and spend countless minutes popping and blowing them. Perhaps we take this childlike wonder and love of bubbles into adulthood because we are apt to wonder just how clean or hair or skin is if our shampoo, soap or bod wash did not create lots of foam. Many of us go through life never realizing that lather is not necessary in order to get things clean. More often than not, lathering agents are added to products for the sole purpose of satisfying the expectations of consumers. The companies that make our personal care and beauty products

Each surfactant is different and so produces different amounts of lather. Surfactants are added purely for purely for cosmetic purposes and are not required for getting our hair or skin clean. Lathering agents such as MEA (monoethanolamine), DEA (diethanolamine), TEA (triethanolamine) are very common and in addition to creating the white bubbles we love to see, also help to make products such as shampoos thicker. These foaming agents have been classified as potential carcinogens. They are frequently used because they are inexpensive and allow manufacturing companies to make more money. The risk of cancer, however, is far too serious a consequence for unnecessary
It absorbs and reflects light, including ultraviolet radiation from the sun, which can cause products to worsen and lose their pigment. Talc, hydrous magnesium silicate (MgSlO4) is used as an absorbent, anti-caking agent. It improves the feel of the product and helps smooth or soften them. Metallic stearates (C17H35CO) also known as stearate salts are used for their moisturizing properties. They help keep the mixture of two or more liquids from separating into their oil and liquid components. The stearate salts increase the thickness of the liquid and reduces the transparent appearance of finished products. Lecithin (C42H82NO8P) or hydrogenated lecithin help cover the appearance of dry or damaged skin by reducing flaking and restoring flexibility. It also has skin-restoring abilities. Sulfosuccinate (C20H37NaO7S) helps the water solubility of other cosmetic ingredients. It also helps form the unblendable mixtures by reducing the surface tension of the substances, which is known as a cleansing agent. Ethoxylated alcohol (C26H50O10), functions as a surfactant and are used as cleansing agents. They clean the skin by helping water mix with oil and dirt so they can be washed away. It also acts as a skin conditioning agent. Bentonite (Al2O34SiO2H2O) has many purposes. It 's used for smoothing, polishing, or abrading other chemicals in the foundation. Helps hold together all of the ingredients. Acts as an absorbent. Increases the volume of a

The 1932 “She’ll be a good baby, Mrs. Brown” (Procter & Gamble Company, 1932) magazine advertisement is selling Ivory Soap. The goal is to convince mothers to use Ivory Soap for their babies’ skin. They used the educated nurse to teach their patient what is the best type of product. The advertisement quotes the nurse saying “She’s strong and perfect. You shouldn’t have any trouble with her. Just keep her comfortable. Before you leave the hospital, I’ll show you how to give her the daily bath she gets here with Ivory Soap” (Procter & Gamble Company, 1932). The bottom third focuses on Ivory Soap as a product.

Every city has that one basketball game that everyone goes to. The game that brings the crowd to their feet. That one game that brings thousands of people to the audience, and leave them with something to talk about for the remainder of their lives. Saginaw High vs Arthur Hill boys basketball game is filled with people from all over the state, filled with future NBA players and lots of drama. Saginaw High is located in the poorest and the most dangerous parts of Saginaw,Mi. Just imagine a neighborhood with only three houses on each block and sounds like Fourth of July firecrackers going off every night knowing someone just died. So every year, Saginaw
The worst part about that finding is the fact that manufacturers are allowed to put whatever chemicals they desire in these products because of legislative loopholes. These days, we’re a lot more conscious of what we ingest but, we tend to put little emphasis in deciphering the items we apply on the surface. The skin is our largest organ that absorbs a substantial amount the items we put on it. If you care about the harmful ingredients lurking in your food, you should care about those hiding in your most frequently used personal care products, too. I’m not here to convince you to stop showering or applying deodorant, that would be absolutely foul but, I’m urging you to be more mindful about the products you use on your body strictly because there isn 't an agency out their assuring their safety, and they’ve been linked various health issues.
The first paper is due by Monday, April 9, 11:59 p.m. You MAY use sources outside of the Liberty Search Engine (and are encouraged to do so). Also you may use scholarly books and not just journal articles. You should avoid using generic websites that do not appear scholarly in nature. A good rule of thumb is that if a website does not have an author, it is not a good source. Good online material has also usually been published in print at some point. Google Scholar and JSTOR are great places to search, as well as the online encyclopedias I've shown you. Always feel free to send me an email if you have questions about sources or formatting.
Neutrogena uses a slow, more expensive manufacturing process to mold its fragile soap. In choosing this position, Neutrogena said no to the deodorants and skin softeners that many customers desire in their soap. It gave up the large-volume potential of selling through supermarkets and using price promotions. It sacrificed manufacturing efficiencies to achieve the soap’s desired attributes. (trade-offs that protected the company from imitators)
Had manufacturers acted in a responsible manner, VC never would have been introduced as a propellant into consumer products such as hair sprays, pesticides, and paints.” Although this ingredient was replaced by methylene chloride, and is an ingredient in Sebastian Shaper Hairspray Styling Mist for Hold and Control, methylene chloride has been discovered to have similar carcinogenic effects. Methylene Chloride affects the human organs, specifically the heart and blood vessels, the liver and the nervous system. Another harmful ingredient in this hairspray is Benzophenone-3. According to Skin Deep this ingredient has the following concerns: “Developmental/reproductive toxicity, endocrine disruption, Allergies/immunotoxicity, persistence and bioaccumulation, Organ system toxicity (non-reproductive), Enhanced skin absorption, Biochemical or cellular level changes.” Further, the European Commission conducted studies on endocrine disruption and found that this man-made chemical creates a hormonal disruption in humans and animals.
To create soap, two major raw materials are needed, fat and alkali. The alkali most commonly used today in soap making is sodium hydroxide. Potassium hydroxide can also be used. The alkali used in this lab was sodium hydroxide; sodium hydroxide was used as a reagent which is a substance that is used in a chemical reaction to produce other substances. The common term for an alkali is simply "lye". Modern soap makers use fat that has been processed into fatty acids. (Made How, 2008) This removes many contaminations and it produces as a by-product of water instead of glycerin. Many vegetable fats, including olive oil and coconut oil, are also used in soap making. Since the fat or oil starting materials are not soluble in water, the
Ocean Cosmetics products contain protected and normal natural ingredients. This is a decent offering point for clients who are worried about cruel chemicals. What's more, the products don't contain lanolin to which a few people are unfavorably susceptible. The products have wonderful aromas, as well. Ocean Cosmetics skin care cream additionally has a history that is connected to a before effective cream, Farm Hand Cream. Another quality significant is Ocean Cosmetics’s solid relationship with a noteworthy supplier, Sage Shipping. Whenever joined, these components have achieved products that
As shown in Table 3.0, it was difficult to stir and combine the shortening and the lard with the sodium hydroxide and glycerol. Though the oil-based soaps were easy to make, they did not yield as much compared to the fat-based soaps. Table 6.0 shows that Soap 3 which was shortening based and Soap 4 which was lard based produced 11.18 g and 11.22 g, respectively. This was a much greater yield than the oil based soaps. Soap 1 which used olive oil yielded 3.154 grams and soap 2 using vegetable oil yielded 1.319 grams. This was something to consider when choosing which starting material to use and depends on whether ease of synthesis or greater yield is more important. The detergent synthesis methods were very similar but method 2 took less steps and was a bit easier than method 1. Table 6.0 shows that detergent 2 had a greater yield, 5.143 grams whereas detergent 1 had a yield of about 4 grams. The lathering test showed that though soaps 3 and 4 produced the most product of the soaps, they did not create many bubbles or a good lather according to Table 7.0. The soaps/detergents that produced the most bubbles were soap 1 which used olive oil followed by detergent 1 and then soap 2
According to a chain email sent around, these powerful surfactants, Sodium Lauryl Sulfates (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfates (SLES) are chemicals that cause cancer. Other publications deem Sodium Laureth Sulfates (SLES) as the more ‘toxic’ chemical of the two. It is believed that SLES can be contaminated when in contact with a 1,4 dioxane (1,4-Diethyleneoxide), which is a by-product of an ethylene oxide. The chronic exposure of an ethylene oxide has been related to the occurrence of cancer.
The purpose of this lab was to create soaps and detergents and test their cleaning ability. We created four different soaps and two detergents using different starting materials composed of oils and fats for the soaps and lauryl alcohol and sulfuric acid for the detergents. Soaps are created by a process called saponification, which is the formation of a salt by combing an acid and a base.1 Soap and detergent are effective cleaning agents because they have hydrophilic and hydrophobic ends.1 The hydrophobic ends interact with the dirt and oil while the hydrophilic ends interact with the water molecules effectively washing the dirt and oil away.2 While soaps and detergents are very similar in their cleaning ability, they have a major difference being that soaps are made from natural products and detergents are made from synthetic materials.3 In order to make the soaps, we used four different starting materials including lard, shortening, olive oil, and vegetable oil.
