ORGANIC NATURAL BEAUTY SOAP

Natural Soap, can be plainly natural or Organic.
While formulating organic soap, some considerations in selection of raw material  are worth making.

Generally, organic / natural soap is considered to be harmless to skin, capable of healing acned skin, smoothing and pampering the skin.

Demand for Organic / Natural Soaps, whether handmade or industrialy formulated is on high demand in Africa and particularly Kenya. Women, adolescents and wealthy upper class of the general population form the biggest market for this product.

Big soap making companies here in Kenya over look this vital market because soap business is generally in under-all-time demand and well profitable. This leaves a big market gap and enormous opportunities to “small scale ” organic soap producers. In other words, it is a blessing in disguise!

Making a handmade organic soap is alot easy. Contrary to the common belief, formulation of organic soap is easier than any other related product, because the general procedure for making any soap applies here. One only needs to play around with oils, active ingredients like Neem, Jojoba, Aloe, Olive oils etc.  Color, preferably green and nice scents (for scented soaps ) are easy to incorporate.

Generally, the average time of formulating say 20kgs (200 pieces of 100g each) of hand-made soap is one hour. With experience, 30 minutes are enough. Curing takes a week or so while moulding and cutting it into shapes takes about 2 hours. With proper soap  cutting or die-cutting devices, a potential client cannot differentiate between a hand made and machine made soap. Proper wrapping or packaging is the epitome of product branding and marketing.

We have been in the forefront of mentoring and training of new organic soap makers for the past 6 months. Training costs only Ksh. 4000 (for organic soap) and Ksh 3500 for laundry soap.
